How To Be A Super Success (part two)
In my last post I referred to several people who are living super successful lives. Although these were all taken from the world of business, the qualities they displayed in pursuing their goals can be seen in all successful individuals whether from the world of business, sport, politics or indeed in non-famous people who have managed to achieve super successful lifestyles for themselves and their families.

How To Be A Super Success (part one)
One thing super successful people have in common is that they never give up if they feel their goal is achievable. They have a strong sense of who they are and they all display an iron-clad belief in their innate capabilities to make their dream a reality… In fact, if we are to learn anything from these super successful people it would be this: Action.

Saving Time At The Supermarket
Every other Sunday is supermarket day in our house and whereas Saturday mornings are my most loved, Sunday’s can be pure hell. For some strange reason. and I can never figure out why, my wife, “Y,” doesn’t seem to mind at all. In fact, she quite enjoys our fortnightly journts, but then she doesn’t have to battle with the trolleys (does anyone know how to make them go in the direction you are point?). [...]

Now that my wife’s expecting our first child, it’s really made me think seriously about my priorities and what I actually want from life.

[...]
Get Out Of Debt… Start A Blog
I’ve just been reading a brilliant article over at Zen Habits that shows us how we can improve our finances by basically paying off our existing debt and not acquiring any more. Sounds obvious right? But it’s surprising how many don’t seem to make the connection. Yes cutting up your credit cards figures prominently, but so does acquiring a long-term strategy and mindset regarding our spending habits. [...]
Do You, Parlez-Vous?
As many of you may know, my wife is expecting our first child in February. Needless to say her parents, who live in Japan, are really excited at the news and the prospect of being grandparents for a second time. Such is their excitement, they want to visit next summer, and there in lies the problem: I don’t speak that much Japanese and they don’t speak that much English! Or so I thought. [...]
