You see it everyday...predators taking advantage of well meaning people.
Sometimes because you work on yourself and want more out of life means
you attract people who don't give a damn and who just take.
Sometimes you're just so pushed for time or you're just too tired, the
kids are being so exhausting...and that's when you get exploited.
I was having lunch with One of my best friends Stephanie [not her real
name of course] in Princes Square yesterday. Steph is 39, married with
two adorable but demanding children [her words], and a husband who humours
her interest in self-help, though deep down thinks its all mumbo jumbo and
common sense pop psychology.
I know for a fact that as long as she's still a "yummy Mummy" and the kids
are happy, then he's happy [His words not mine]. She's using visualisation
and affirmations and wonders why they're not working. I told her that
I've got more books on visualisation than I ever visualised I'd have...
They're just back from a sailing holiday in Spain on their new boat, and
to all intents and purposes they're "living the dream", but here's the
honest truth - she's miserable. She says she feels old before her time,
tired and invisible. I should also tell you that Steph is very touchy
feely, has very strong morals but keeps attracting pushy salesmen, tradesmen
and sleazy Spanish letharios [her words not mine!]
So we got into a deep and meaningful discussion about what people really
want and The Big Lie - that we've been sold the idea that we should buy
things, when what we really want is experiences. I asked her 4 short
questions, and she gladly paid for lunch in return! But it left us both
wondering, and that's where you come in...
I think I'm right about the experience vs. things idea - and I need you
to tell me if I'm right. Which side are you on?
For the Big 4 questions I asked Steph, and 2 gifts for just sharing your
opinion, please go to

and help me out.
Take care,
Jonathan
P.S. Even though these gifts are free...don't discount the value of them.
In fact, they hold some clues to getting everything you want far faster
than you might think, and I had to go to Hawaii to learn them. Let me
know what you think now:
