Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Quite a few months back I did an article on Dr Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’, well today somebody sent me this version….much shorter…from the Oprah Winfrey Show. What an amazing man….dying with pancreatic cancer and giving this moving, motivating and inspirational speech.

His talk is about childhood dreams and how he just went for what he wanted…getting rejected along the way…but even keeping his rejection letters…finding them inspirational. “Experience is what you get…when you don’t get what you want”. Also making the point that you must always have fun.

Sadly, Dr. Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor lost his battle with cancer on the 25th July, 2008, leaving behind a wife and three young children. He was only 47 years old.

Watch…pass it along to your friends….I’m sure they too will find it motivating and inspirational. You can find the full lecture on ‘You Tube’, it has been viewed by millions…. is well worth watching.

I’m listening….so please leave me feedback..

Can You Afford That?
Monday, October 13th, 2008

What is the bottom line question people are asking themselves at the moment? Can I afford to retire? Can I afford to take a holiday? Can I afford to invest? Can I afford a new car? At present the world is in financial crisis. On Oprah’s show on Monday 13th October, Suze Orman will be her guest.
Suze is an Emmy Award-winning television host, New York Times bestselling author, magazine and online columnist, motivational speaker, writer/producer, and one of America’s most recognized experts on personal finance. Should be worth a look. Are you on track for retirement? It’s getting closer every day.
I started to invest for my retirement about 15 years ago, when I took a very wobbly step into share market trading after attending many courses on the subject. When I first started I had no idea about trading shares but after going along and listening, eventually started to grasp a few points here and there. I then started share trading, only blue chips and then went on to property investing. All the time I attended courses to increase my knowledge, but didn’t have the benefit of being able to read or listen to it over again if I didn’t get my head around it the first time. Here at Retire Wealthy Success Club you have the opportunity to download and listen to many experts in the different fields of investing and then if you didn’t understand it the first time, replay or read it again. Then put it into practice so that you can enjoy the lifestyle you deserve in retirement. You also have the benefit of 5 FREE Gifts and the $1 Test Drive for 21 Days. You are worth the investment!
