Donna Fox’s diary of participating in the Enlightened Millionaire 101 Day Challenge - fascinating and with lots of diversionary links (which all opened in a new window thank goodness!).  She’s still got about 70 days to go so it’s worth checking it out…….the goal [...]

Peter Thomson again…….but it dovetails into the Millionaire Mind Intensive nicely so bear with me!  Another quote from my notes is from when Peter said "People will never consistently do, who they aren’t"
He means that in order to take on board a new way of behaving, you first have to change yourself into the kind [...]
