How to Establish “Brand Presence”

By Mark Morgan Ford | 12/11/2008

Economy and Markets Often Go Separate Ways

By Andrew Gordon | 12/11/2008

Can Cellphones Really Give You Cancer?

By Dr. Al Sears | 12/11/2008

The truth is, cellphones have not been around long enough to give us the kind of long-term studies we really need to know for sure.

And the research is conflicting. Some studies show no increased risk. So I’m not ready to tell my readers and patients that cellphones definitely cause cancer. The FDA says, “The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones.” But they then add, “There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.”

The Circle of Life

By Robert Ringer | 12/10/2008

Consider Investing in Long-Distance Properties

By Dean Graziosi | 12/9/2008

Some of the most successful real estate investors you’ll ever meet will tell you one thing: Invest where you live. This is the advice I give to my students, especially if they’re newbies. Though you may hear about hot areas a hundred miles or more away, think carefully before investing there. Why?

And even if you can get a snapshot of knowledge that can carry you through a successful purchase, you won’t be around to notice the nuances of change that could signal the need to sell before problems set in.

The Unexpected Side Effects of Making Money (and How to Avoid Them)

By Mark Morgan Ford | 12/8/2008

My life changed when I decided, one day, that “make a lot of money” would be my number one goal. Focusing on that goal and making it a priority changed my income… from about $50,000 a year to seven-plus figures. It changed my business status from that of a nameless employee to that of an employer of hundreds. It changed my lifestyle from one of making minimum payments on credit card statements to the kind happy movies provide for their heroes.
