Throughout the years, I’ve had people tell me I’ve been wrong when I’ve suggested to them that certain things couldn’t be done. They’ve insisted I was wrong because, they’ve assured me, they had been able to do whatever it was I was saying couldn’t be done. They’d done it themselves, no problem. Recently, for example, […]
I’m reviewing and clarifying my ideas related to the Five Flags theory of diversification in preparation for my opening remarks at the Wealth Summit I’m hosting in Belize in October.

The teller had to call over the branch manager to help with the paperwork. Once the manager saw I was transferring […]
The idea behind Maya Spring Estates is privacy and elbow room. The developer has allowed for only 20 lots, each one big enough to serve as a base for a fully self-sufficient lifestyle. Lot sizes range from 2.5 acres up to more than 9.5 acres, meaning you have enough room to build a house and […]
This is Carnival week. Depending where in the world you find yourself, that’s more or less a big deal. Here in Panama, Carnaval (yes, they spell it with an “a”) is a very big deal. I managed to avoid the drinking, the loud music, and the up-all-night craziness by staying in Panama City. Most all […]
Now I just can’t go anywhere without that sacred cell I think that I might die if I miss anything at all Text me, send me an e-mail, link me up, give me a call I’m ADD on AOL tryin’ to read the writing on the wall –Jimmy Buffet, “Everybody’s On The Phone” This weekend […]
