Welcome To Bonus Ideas

I recently had a chat with an old friend on social media who wanted me to share the simple steps he can follow to become financially independent. He's got this job that really isn't paying well and he seems to be struggling financially. I know a lot of people out there may be going through the same predicament, so I decided to provide this simple guide to address the issue of financial freedom, at least from the standpoint of commo n sense. As we begin, I like to submit that some of the ideas I'll be sharing here are obtained from sources I believe to be reliable and from my own personal experience as an entrepreneur, but your due diligence is still needed in the application of the knowledge or ideas. That said, I want you to realize first and foremost, that you are the vehicle to your financial freedom. You are responsible for your success or failure in the financial front, and you are the only person to depend on. You can choose to be financiall

I saw a YouTube video of Ben Carson in a Sirius-XM interview which sparked outrage late last month by saying poverty was a "state of mind" The New York Times summarizes the remarks that generated what it calls an "intense backlash"... "I think poverty to a large extent is also a state of mind," he said, according to a transcript of the interview that was later released online. "You take somebody that has the right mind-set, you can take everything from them and put them on the street, and I guarantee in a little while they'll be right back up there." He added that helping people may not better their lives. "You take somebody with the wrong mind-set, you can give them everything in the world - they'll work their way right back down to the bottom," he maintained. Most people obviously overreacted not trying to really understand the real meaning of his statement. The real takeaway here is you can never outp

You'll probably remember the quote by Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. that "If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us..." In relating this with the search for truth in unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomenon plus the quest to make sense of our existence, I've come to realize that "The Truth Is Out There", meaning that there is always an answer out there, if you go and SEARCH for it. This is how I approach life. There is truth, a way to create results in life. But I have to go out there and look for it. I learned the truth about building my business by going OUT THERE, acquiring the necessary skills and connecting with people who would require my services. I never met someone who created success with his business or career by staying home. As an individual who wants to move forward, you must resist the natural tendency to be inert and still. You must go out there, take risks, tr

It seems a lot of young people are so eager to get married these days that they ignore some important signals in their current relationship. Many of them think that if things aren't perfectly okay with their current dating relationship, getting married and "sealing the deal" would fix everything. Big mistake! Marriage does not, and NEVER WILL, solve your problems. As a matter of fact, marriage doesn't fix a relationship, it only MAGNIFIES what's already there. So if your relationship is plagued by problems, marriage will MAGNIFY those problems. If your relationship is on-and-off, then your marriage will be EVEN MORE on-and-off. Similarly, if your relationship is harmonious, then marriage will MAGNIFY the harmony. If it's fulfilling and enjoyable even when things are not yet in perfect shape, then your marriage will be even MORE enjoyable. That's why it's extremely important to get the basics down before committing to a mo

One of the best ways to save yourself from carrying unnecessary emotional garbage as a single is to develop the "next" mindset. The "next" mindset is a simple paradigm where you refuse to think too long about any relationship partner who rejects you and, instead, move on to connect with better people who share your values. It's a fact that not all dating relationships will result in a lifetime commitment. It's a reality that's hard to swallow, but that doesn't make it less real. Ignoring this fact is like refusing to acknowledge that if you jump from a plane without a parachute, you will crash. A lot of singles especially ladies hold on far too long to dating partners who ditch them or try to take advantage of them, instead of moving on fast. They try to analyze why their effort did not work or why their love wasn't reciprocated. While it's a good thing to improve and learn from your mistakes, you can't afford to st

You've surely noticed that the world is going through rapid changes. UK is intensifying efforts to leave the failing Eurozone. Trump is already giving a big finger to the political establishment by becoming the POTUS. Asia is becoming the #1 middle class in the world. You also have a bunch of bad people who want to destroy everyone who doesn't believe what they believe. AI and robots are slowly but surely getting more and more into our life. New start-ups are disrupting old industries, leaving no one safe. Despite all these rapid changes, there's nothing to fear. You can suffer from change or you can use change. I choose to use change when, in 2012, I decided to start my own business even with very limited experience and no capital. Because to survive in times like this, you only have two things to focus on: Mastering human relationships, and building financial freedom. Notice that I said "mastering" and "building". Not "dabb

Have you ever struggled for a long time but kept going and, eventually one day, things got better? I know it happens often to me. I might be trying to reach a goal or solve a problem. Days passed - even weeks - where I accumulated disappointment. But I kept going every day, and one day, I got what I needed. It could be an idea, meeting the right person, or the problem just solved itself. This is the day when it gets better. To get to this day, you obviously need to be action-oriented, but also to have FAITH. The faith is the part that can be hard to sustain. Especially when your results show you otherwise. Whether it's meeting a relationship partner, executing a project, or business, things can take a long time without getting tangible results. You need to keep going with faith until you reach the day when it gets better. To help me, I pray and ask the Father to guide me towards the right path and give me the energy to take intelligen

One of the best ways to experience marital bliss is to clone successful marriages. In my many years of analyzing and gathering information about marriage and love relationships, I've noticed the consistent patterns that happy and successful marriage partners follow. They engage in weighty efforts to build strong bonds, take responsibility for bringing out the best in each other, and are quick to patch the holes in their relationship . These consistent patterns revolve around the fundamental principles that I call the 10 commandments of a great marriage. 1. YOU SHALL FORGIVE EACH OTHER'S FAULT AND LEARN TO SAY SORRY If there's anything you must learn early about relationship and marriage, it is to understand that love thrives on forgiveness. It's paramount to constantly forgive your spouse for their eccentricities and annoying habits, and also forgive yourself for any mistakes you make if you truly want to be happy in your marriage. The reaso

Last Saturday, I was watching the Champions League final. After watching awhile, that got me thinking... It's amazing how the sports industry is its own industry. A universe with its stars, fans, awards, global events, and billions of dollars in revenue. According to Forbes, the sports industry is expected to reach $73.5 billion by 2019, just in North America. In Europe, professional soccer stars are often criticized in the media for their 7 and 8 figure salaries. Despite this, their salaries are higher than ever. Two things you won't find in professional sports are political and social considerations. This universe is hermetic to anything going on in society and that pretty much explains why it's such a successful industry. This is very similar to how I encourage you to live life. Create your own universe or planet with your own rules. For that, you must 'isolate' yourself from the rest of society, particularly social issues. The sports

From the day you are born, you are surrounded by rules. They manifest themselves through statements, like "should", "must", "never", and "always". Some of these rules exist to protect you. For example, never drive drunk and always respect one another. Unfortunately, other rules are unnecessary or irrelevant. Rules like, you should always "keep your thoughts to yourself", and you should get a higher education and get a good job. We are fed these rules through parents, the school system, and mainstream media. When you reach 25 for instance, you've been conditioned for 25 years. Some people are in their 40s and don't even realize they are still living their life based on old rules. They stay at jobs they don't like, and believe they can't quit to start their own business. Fortunately, the brain is plastic. I don't mean that the brain is made of plastic… Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity - refers
