TIPS ON ATTAINING WEALTH

Many people want money as a primary goal. And there certainly is nothing wrong with desiring money. But first, be sure that your true goal is money. Can you live, breathe, eat, and sleep money? Do you dream about money, and want it more than anything?

For true money-seekers, you must be your own boss. The great money-makers all started and ran their own businesses. And, even though it seems as though all good ideas have already been taken, there are plenty out there.

The secret of wealthiest people is to find a special need and fill it. Like quick-food chains; like supermarkets; like electronic games. Whether you invent a new toy or gadget, or see a spot to market special items in a new way, world is open to true entrepreneurs. And they do make it.

LEARN YOUR TRADE

Almost any goal you choose - whether riches and material abundance or spiritual attainment - requires learning. How much education do you have? Do you want more? Perhaps your goal is to get another degree or to secure a special license.

There are countless opportunities to learn more about your own industry or to learn about a new skill. Not only do you have colleges and universities, but there are many trade schools, correspondence schools, and special groups that teach skills - at very reasonable prices.

KEEP THE END IN MIND

What do you need to know to get to where you want to be? You may not need a degree, but actual experience. So you'd need to change jobs or accept a part-time job at night to develop your skills.

More than ever, people are leaving their present occupations to learn a new trade and then starting at bottom again to be happy in their work. Maybe you'll need to put in extra hours at work now so that you can save money to take time off next year.

Even though most entry level positions are offered to younger people, you can find many companies willing to give you a chance to change your occupation. Many times you might find an older master willing to apprentice you to learn skill or trade.

Once you're enrolled to learn new skills, put everything towards learning. Apply yourself one hundred percent. Take advantage of asking questions and getting criticism from teachers and fellow students. Read everything you can study well. It is your developing expertise that will get you ahead and closer to your goal.

A Herd Of 45,000 Website Visitors That Didn't Cost Anything...

In September 2003 an amazing turn of events led to a massive flood of media coverage, which in turn sent a stampeding herd of free visitors to a brand new website.

Leonard Richard is a 52 year old farmer living down under in Victoria, Australia. He was out and about on his farm not too far from his house, when a branch fell and hit him hard on his head.

Leonard estimates that he must of been out cold for at least half an hour and was in a really bad way.

As luck would have it, Leonard's pet kangaroo called Lulu, discovered him and helped to raise alarm. I didn't realize this myself, but kangaroo's can make a kind of barking noise. The persistent and somewhat out of character barks from Lulu eventually managed to alert Leonard's family in his house nearby.

It's uncertain but Leonard thinks that Lulu may have also turned him on his side to keep his airway clear, although I'm not sure whether I believe that bit. Leonard was airlifted by helicopter to nearest hospital.

Lulu was credited with saving Leonard's life. The news of Lulu 'life saving' kangaroo soon spread. The RSPCA decided to give Lulu a very rare bravery award which resulted in a lot of media interest.

A Quick Thinking Entrepreneur...

On other side of Australia, a quick thinking entrepreneur and website designer by name of John (sorry that's all I could get), got in touch with Richard's family and offered to set up a website for them free of charge.

They would then be able to share their story across globe. The website didn't go live until April this year, just before RSPCA officially announced award. This was when media frenzy whipped up a real pace and website was literally flooded with visitors. So many, that they had to shut site down and upgrade servers. You can view site here:

An Opportunity To Bring In Some Cash

If you look at site, they've managed to take advantage of all this traffic by adding a few money spinners on site.

- They've got a small banner for GoDaddy website hosting, and they also adapted it to feature a picture of Lulu as part of banner animation (nice touch).

- They're selling T-shirts with a picture of Lulu on them promoting world peace.
