For those of you who missed the first few articles, we are going over Jeff Olson’s book, “The Slight Edge”.

My purpose here is to try to get you to start working on your making money ideas and becoming one of the best home businesses and getting that financial retirement planning going.

In the first few chapters we learned that:

…“Your philosophy creates your attitudes, actions and results, which in turn creates your life.”
…The simple things that you do every day make the difference.
…That results happen over time.

If you have been reading along and did not get that information from what I’ve said, get a copy of Jeff’s book.

If you just started, get Jeff’s book to get the most out of what I am saying.

Here’s some new stuff:

Start your beginning, just one small step. And do that over and over, make it habit, ingrained in every day’s tasks until you don’t even have to think about it. That’s the author’s message here in chapter four.

The beginning for me was not signing up to work with an incredible bunch of smart, hardworking entrepreneurs who wanted to help me, yes, little old me, get a better life.

I didn’t do much at first, just kind of floundered, there was so much to do and learn that it overwhelmed me.

One of those entrepreneurs recognized this and pitched in and helped me and a few others who were struggling.

That was my beginning. She demanded that we do something every day. Then after a few weeks we all were pretty much entrenched in the habits, the next thing to come, was that we could see some of our work heading up the numbers to page one of Google.

What’s so great about that? It’s not just the little ego boost of seeing your name up there, but the fact that the numbers of other people who see your name and decide you are worth knowing and maybe even following.

When will you begin? Sooner than later is better, if you haven’t yet begun.

I hope you’ll read the articles I have written and more of these videos as they are produced to learn how you can get your “…Slight Edge”.

You CAN get ahead in this life, and I can help.

What are your financial retirement planning goals?

“Many Americans save little—or nothing—for retirement,” says the Health and Retirement Study of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, which administers and conducts the survey.

“Low income,” was cited as the most common problem to saving money.

A subset was asked of participants was asked if they would save a hypothetical windfall. Although about 70% said they would save it, but the study says that there is little evidence that suggests that people would change their ways and save the money.

Baby boomers begins to turn age 65 in 2011. Not only baby boomers, but the next generations have also copped the attitude of skipping the “cultivating” phase of Plant, cultivate, harvest, that Jeff Olson talks about in his book, “The Slight Edge”.

I am a baby boomer, although at the youngest end of the spectrum. I always thought that I was the exception to the people of the world that have their financial retirement planning in order.

I joined with a group that is helping me get on track for becoming successful with my goals.

This is what my mentors have done for me this past few months:

They have helped me learn the cultivating of my goals…the daily little things to do that produce results over time, in my case, five weeks (so far) of doing the little actions each day brings me just that much closer to my goal of earning more than hourly wages, over time.

No immediate feedback, except knowing that we have weekly assignments to report on.

The feedback, in the form of income, comes a little later. No I’m not rich yet. That’s not my point.

Now that I am reading Jeff Olson’s book “The Slight Edge”, I know where some of my mentors knowledge may come from.

I’ve learned from his book, in just the first three chapters:

You always have a choice.
The faith that your choice will produce results later is what will keep you doing the little things.
Live in the moment and each moment make the right choices.

Follow along with me and, get your own copy of the book, you will understand more when you read his whole story.

You can get ahead in this world, I can show you how.

Are you ready for retirement?

Many of us nearing that age are not.

“The percentage of Americans who aren’t ready to retire… 70%!”, according to The Motley Fool, which provides premium investing advice and market-beating stock research

“Dipping into reserves to fund the next stage of your life may not feel great when cash flow is a concern. But it’s often necessary”, says Lauren Young, a Personal Business editor for “BusinessWeek” in it’s November 13, 2009 issue.

Just jumping into a business of your own is not the end-all, though. You need to do your research and make sure you can do the things to succeed in all areas of your life.

Doing simple things is the basis of success, according to one author.

“The Slight Edge”, his philosophy is what he says that the 95% of us that are not successful in our life goals need.

“Most of us aren’t making it” says Jeff Olson in his book “The Slight Edge”.

We just aren’t doing the right small things.

You can learn more about his philosophy in the days ahead, as I read and try to interpret some of his ideas to you.

I would advise you to purchase his book in addition, and comment on my writing, too. We will both be better off.

If you are interested in the business that I am succeeding in, enter your first name and email address on this page and we will send you more information via email. Good information, not just a bid for your business.

You can get ahead in this world, I can show you how.

Are you looking at financial retirement planning and realize you don’t have enough time to save up for your retirement years?

Making money ideas by starting a company to work towards one of the best home businesses, in addition to still working your “day job”, could help.

Lately, as my husband and I are getting ready for retirement, the realization that the only form of financial retirement planning in place is from my husband’s job, and from his social security. Since I had been struggling with running a losing money newspaper business for ten years and haven’t paid into social security, I have zero coming from social security.

Just this year, I started working with a larger company and in my own home business to add another stream of income with those other financial retirement planning already in place.

I still look for top internet marketing companies listed on the internet, not that I want to jump ship on my company, but so that I can be honest with my potential associates.

So far, no one has topped the making money ideas for the best home businesses and had the product for financial planning, including financial retirement planning, that my company has.

One site I went to gave some great advice. Stop looking for the best company and get the education you need to make your own business work.

Wow. That was right on. And, I’ve found the book to help you make a success of whatever type of success you are looking for.

It’s not how to do it, it’s how you think that makes the difference, professes Jeff Olson, in chapter one of his book, “The Slight Edge”.

Philosophy must be the thing behind your attitude, your actions and results, than in turn creates your life, he says.

He explains attitude, entitled or value-driven, and says that failure is a learning experience.

Little things that you do every day make all the difference.

Jeff says to use the book as the basis for succeeding in all the areas of your life, health & exercise, financial goals, relationships, professional and others.

Read along with me as I go over each chapter of his book to find out how to succeed with my life plans.

I recommend that you go to Amazon.com to get a copy of the book for yourself, don’t take my interpretation as the end all.

I also recommend that you place your name and email address on this page to find out more about the business that is leading me to a better life.

The choices you make each and every day, affect you more than you can see each day, whether it be making money ideas to make sure you have one of the best home businesses and do the best retirement financial planning, or whether you stay healthy, or even if you have an abundant support system of friends and family.

Each and every day, there are tiny choices to make, or not make, that over time, determine your wealth in all these areas.

Three stories, one about a flower, one about a couple of frogs, and one about two sons and their inheritance, demonstrate what the author says is how he can help us learn habits of thought and action to double the power of our actions each day.

Jeff Olson, author of “The Slight Edge”, is a book that I am reading right now.

Using the lessons in each chapter, I will attempt to translate them into more ideas to help us visualize how to put his lessons into action.

I encourage you to read it, too, and follow along with my five weekly posts, one for each chapter, and comment on how you might translate actions to take, too.

I hope to hear from you soon.
