Go forth and automate your income!

Flipping products, information, or real estate can be lucrative, but is it an unintentional prison? Do you long for the days when you can leave it all behind to jump on a plane to Paris?

Think strongly about automating your income, not only does it simplify life, but it can serve to free you from some of the things which keep you from making those life changing memories for you (and your family).

Some of my best vacations have been those last minute jaunts, where you just drop everything and take off. There's no better feeling in the world to leave everything behind and on autopilot. Pay your bills online, outsource chores, make friends with your neighbors (so they can watch your house while you are away). Most important, get rid of some of your stuff! Less stuff means less to worry about while you are living life, if its that important, lock it away in a safe deposit box.

Flipping Willie Horton

In politics, flipping is everything. No, not flipping as in changing sides, but flipping information or ideas, profiting not from their sale, but their acceptance. Willie Horton is again in the news, why? Well, put simply, the holiday political season has begun, and it ain't snow thats raining down. In 1988, Willie Horton was used to dessimate the Michael Dukakis campaign , you can't easily buy that sort of ammunition. What matters is not necessarily the facts, but how you flip the story and sell it to the viewers.

Appalachian State Football and Real Estate?

So what does Appalachian State have to do with Real Estate? Well, I was researching real estate in NC and got sidetracked with the news that Appalachian State beat Michigan 34-32. Talk about short attention span. Needless to say, in my Google searching, I came across Michael Bradford's Real Estate Blog . Funny how when looking for one thing you often find something completely different. Michael has some really good advice for those looking to flip, and has some examples of his recent flipping.

Don't just flip and run, reflection is the key to balance

"Reflection balances experience, it allows us to process our sensory data and file it away and make sense of the world." In Mind Like Water: Keeping Your Balance in a Chaotic World , Jim Ballard talks about meditation, reflection, and thinking in a mind like water state. I bought this some time ago and have been reading it slowly. It's definately a find at your local library, or used via ebay or Amazon .
