A couple years ago, I lost several hundred dollars to experimentation Google Adwords, without making a dime. I suspect that this is completely normal. It is easy to lose much more, I imagine.
I was discouraged, leaving Adwords alone since then, despite the fact that I know a couple people personally who make multiple six-figure incomes […]

I’m in the middle of reading Robert Frank’s fascinating new book "Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich."
One measure of a book is how many conversations it sparks, and by that measure this book is gold. I brought it on vacation, ending up talking about it […]
I was listening to a Kiyosaki CD today while taking a break from programming. I find his stuff mostly too simplistic, but I was liking it today for some reason, when I heard Kiyosaki make a really funny and interesting point.
He says that some few people can get rich by scrimping and saving. […]

This weekend I finished reading "The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich" by Timothy Ferriss. I just got it last week, and I read it straight through, putting aside all other books for a couple days.
I’m not going to give it an in-depth review. I think David Seah […]
Since I started taking clients for my business last fall, I’ve been careful to track my time. I don’t usually charge by the hour, preferring the simple honesty of flat-rate prices for tasks, but even then I still track my time religously.

Synchronistically to my post about business being a noble calling, I found someone who really hit the nail on the head. It is from the winter Cato Institute Letter, and is titled "Entrepreneurs Are the Heroes of the World."
During the last 100 years, we have created more wealth, reduced poverty more, and increased life […]

Every once in a while, I take a shot of the books I’m currently reading. It gives an almost uncomfortably accurate picture of what is occupying my mind right now.
When I initially started my family’s trek toward wealth, I was a follower of Dave Ramsey.
