I found a recent list of the best places to move in 2009. Located on Yahoo I stumbled across some our country’s most appealing cities. Do you think that creating wealth has something to do with where you live? I would bet it does a little. Certain cities obviously cost more than others depending greatly on population, business base and other determining factors.

Even if where you live didn’t impact the ability for you to create wealth, you still could see a great change in mindset, comfort and confidence just by moving to a new location. I’m not suggesting you move by any means though.

Really it’s just a nice way to get your wheels spinning for the weekend to geqar up for your next big changes. Take the time to visualize your perfect home, settings and visitation destinations. You’ll feel recharged for the new days ahead and travel to your goals more effectively.

Remember wealth is nothing more than a concept, it all starts in your mind. If you can believe it you can achieve it. Best Places to Live, 2009 EditionTechnorati Tags: best cities, wealth, mindset, moving, travel, citie sin U.S., U.S.A., best cities

Calling Yourself a Family First Entrepreneur is a Guiding Light | Marc Warnke

Calling Yourself a Family First Entrepreneur is a Guiding Light
Submitted by marcwarnke on Wed, 08/12/2009 – 14:33

* Family First Entrepreneur

No one would dispute that life affects business and business affects life. They are complimentary to one another in a positive or a negative direction. So, finding a system where these two things remain supportive of one another, at all times, is the key. By calling yourself a Family First Entrepreneur, a distinct master is designated and decisions can be filtered through a calling that is greater than yourself.

There are two distinct facts, as a part of this, that deserve more attention. One, is the fact that EVERY successful system is led by a core or foundational ideology. It acts as a trump card in the decision making process that keeps you on track. By calling yourself a Family First Entrepreneur, you create a natural filter that can guide you as you make key directional, long term decisions in your business. Day to day decisions also become easier as all decisions will serve a greater calling—family.

It’s important to remember how easy it is to have a financial decision lead you down a path that does not support your ideas of what life should be like. One bad decision can lead to years of effort, only to find that you were shooting off the mark and you unintentionally landed somewhere else. (Please refer to the Ready, Aim, Fire decision making process in “ONO”) This is why it is so key to keep a candle lit concerning your core intention—being a Family First Entrepreneur. By owning this simple idea, you adopt a core level philosophy that will become your guiding light.

The second distinct fact, stated in the introduction to this post, was that by calling yourself a Family First Entrepreneur you serve a purpose greater than yourself. This is a key motivational piece. As parents, we can all identify with that place where we would put our own lives at risk to protect our children.

The human instinct of self preservation is arguably the most powerful instinct we have, yet, we can override it with the love of our children. The human fear of change is also very powerful, but it takes a back seat to self preservation. We can use that same powerful love of our children to overcome the fear of change. Overcoming fear of change is a necessary step to create growth in all facets of our lives. When we stretch and grow in our business life, with the right core focus (family first), we get to have it all.

Capture the power of calling yourself a Family First Entrepreneur. Let people you do business with know where you stand with this one simple statement. We only need to look into the eyes of our children to find the strength to implement change in our financial life to support our family life. Join us at www.familyfirstentrepreneur.com, where we gather and support one another.

How to Make Wealth

How to Make Wealth

May 2004

(This essay was originally published in Hackers & Painters.)

If you wanted to get rich, how would you do it? I think your best bet would be to start or join a startup. That’s been a reliable way to get rich for hundreds of years. The word “startup” dates from the 1960s, but what happens in one is very similar to the venture-backed trading voyages of the Middle Ages.

Startups usually involve technology, so much so that the phrase “high-tech startup” is almost redundant. A startup is a small company that takes on a hard technical problem.

Lots of people get rich knowing nothing more than that. You don’t have to know physics to be a good pitcher. But I think it could give you an edge to understand the underlying principles. Why do startups have to be small? Will a startup inevitably stop being a startup as it grows larger? And why do they so often work on developing new technology? Why are there so many startups selling new drugs or computer software, and none selling corn oil or laundry detergent?

The Proposition

Economically, you can think of a startup as a way to compress your whole working life into a few years. Instead of working at a low intensity for forty years, you work as hard as you possibly can for four. This pays especially well in technology, where you earn a premium for working fast.

Here is a brief sketch of the economic proposition. If you’re a good hacker in your mid twenties, you can get a job paying about $80,000 per year. So on average such a hacker must be able to do at least $80,000 worth of work per year for the company just to break even. You could probably work twice as many hours as a corporate employee, and if you focus you can probably get three times as much done in an hour. [1] You should get another multiple of two, at least, by eliminating the drag of the pointy-haired m
