Today’s Best Fire Prevention Tools And Techniques
Although knowing how to fight fires and use fire extinguishers is important, the best tool to fight fires is fire prevention. If you can take adequate steps to avoid the dangers of fire and detect the signs early then you are much less likely to be involved in a serious incident.
Fire prevention ranges from knowing how to install smoke alarms to dialling emergency services and knowing emergency numbers. It also includes knowing where particular fire hazards are located and how to minimise these hazards so that fires can be prevented.
Here is a guide to the best fire prevention tools and techniques to protect your home and your workplace.
Smoke Alarms And Smoke Detectors
Smoke alarms (or smoke detectors) are one of the best ways to detect fires early, thereby preventing serious fires from occurring. They are particularly good for fires that might occur at night, which can be silent killers with smoke and deadly gases.
Make sure you have smoke detectors installed on every floor in your home and in regular places at work in accordance with the accepted national safety standards (BS 5839 in the UK).
You should also install a carbon monoxide detector, which can detect the deadly gas produced by fires and hidden electrical burning and, more commonly, gas leaks from boilers and equipment.
All detectors should be tested regularly to make sure they work and the batteries in the cheaper standard detectors should be replaced once a year. Better still would be mains-operated or 10-year lithium battery detectors.
Kitchens And Garages
Although you might think smoke alarms should be in the places where fires are likely to start such as kitchens, it is actually a bad idea to have “smoke” alarms in the kitchen or garage, as they can easily be triggered by cooking and fumes from car exhausts.
Instead, fit heat detectors in these two areas as they respond to fast temperature rises and will stop nuisance alarms.
Always make sure you can hear the alarms where you sleep - if you cannot, install more of them and use interconnectable ones. Also, fit the alarms on the ceiling away from any wall or apex, as those on walls will not properly detect smoke or fumes.
Keep Flammable Materials And Products Secure
Keeping dangerous or flammable materials secure is extremely important, especially when children are around. Matches and lighters should be completely out of the reach of children, and flammable liquids or materials should not be near open flames or places where heat could cause them to catch fire.
Also, never leave appliances on whilst you are out of the house, such as cookers, stove or space heaters, as these could potentially create a fire.
Fire prevention is an ongoing concern, and you should remain vigilant for potential fire hazards around your home or at work. If you see something that might be a risk, sort it out immediately, as you never know when that potential hazard could become a real problem.
As long as you remain aware of the potential dangers, you will help prevent fires from occurring and keep people safe.
Have All The Necessary Fire Equipment
Not all fire prevention is about stopping fires before they start. Fire prevention can also mean dealing with problems quickly before they become major incidents. With this in mind, it is important to have a range of fire fighting equipment to use.
This includes fire extinguishers as well as fire blankets and also having an escape plan so that people can get to safety and call for help from the emergency services before things get out of hand.
And, when considering fire extinguishers, do you really think that businesses need big ones and homes need tiny ones? Get real and get as big as you can afford and make sure they are on all floors.
Fire prevention is perhaps even more important than fire fighting, especially within the home setting. If you can prevent serious fires from occurring in the first place by having adequate detection devices and remaining vigilant, then your home or workplace will remain safe for all those who occupy it.

Shut Up And Take The Money -And What To Do When They Say, “Your Price Is Higher Than The Competition
While shopping one of the big box home store discounters for a client I watched a perfect example of overselling.
A woman standing by the store’s bathroom sink display asked the salesperson, “Does this sink come in rose color?” Immediately the salesperson replied, “It comes in rose, it comes in white, it comes in green, red, blue, almond, black, brown, gold.” He named at least another dozen colors. He then, without taking a breath, opened a book and began to read to her how the finish was applied and why it would never mar or discolor.
This all took less than a minute and a half. The women said thank you, turned and left. As she passed me I said to her, “Why didn’t you buy that sink?” She replied, “He would not shut up and sell it to me.”
are you over selling? Are you listening for the customers ‘Closing Statements?’ A ‘Closing Statement’ is anything the customer says that is positive about your product, service, business or you.
I first learned to shut up and take the money when my father taught me to sell tires. In the early 70’s the radial tire was introduced to the consumer market by Michelin tire company. It cost four times as much as a non-radial tire, with a starting price around $150 each.
Even though the cost was extremely high, my father sold well over half of his customers Michelin tires. I know sometimes the tires were worth more than the cars we put them on. He did it by listening for the customer’s closing statements. When he told them, “This tire will last 40,000 miles, over twice as long as a non-Michelin radial tire, give you a much smoother ride, and is a much safer tire.” They would say, “I like that.”
My father then shut up and wrote up the sale. He taught me to listen for closing statements like, “That will work”, “My wife will like that”, “I like that”.
Some closing statements are questions: Can you deliver it today?, What is the guarantee? , Can you put them on the car right away? Do you have financing? Do you take credit cards? (Of course you answer them as you are writing up the sale).
Make sure you listen for closing statements with your eyes. Watch the customer’s facial expressions. You will know when they are pleased by something you say.
Another approach is to get the product in the customer’s hands. As soon as the customers take the product I am handing them, I start writing up the sale. Possession becomes ownership. Writing up the sale transfers ownership.
Sometimes the closing statement is, “Your price is higher than the competition’s.” Yes, that is a closing statement. They are telling you they like your product / service. They want to buy it. You have simply not given them the right information to let them justify spending their money. You have not proved to them that buying from you is worth more than buying from the competition.
All you have to do is use the ‘Higher Price Agreement Close.’
Here is how it works.
They say “Your price is higher than the competitions.” You do not get defensive. They can sense your fear. You simply nod yes and say. “I understand how you feel, and yes it is a few dollars more.
That is the same way other customers felt before they realized when you purchase your (name the product / service) you also get
(Name 3 things you give the customer the competition doesn’t).
Example: I was always the highest priced dealer. One of the television lines I sold was GE. Everyone and their brother sold GE televisions. It was the easiest product for the customer to compare shop.
Every time I heard, “Your price is higher than everyone else’s,” I immediately started writing up the sale while saying, “I understand how you feel, and yes we do charge a few dollars more. That is the same way other customers felt before they realized when you purchase your new color television from us you receive 7 days a week service, not 5. We give you a free extended warranty, and we guarantee you the top trade-in value, in writing, for your television 5 years from now, whether it is working or not.
Then I shut up and waited for the customer to say something. The first one who talks loses.
Stop thinking you have to tell the customer everything about your product / service. You don’t. All you have to do is inform them enough for them to think your product / service will help them solve their problem, need or want. And when they think it they usually make a closing statement. Shut up and take the money.

Niche Marketing in the Hospitality Industry
Welcome to our glorious capitalist society, where every entrepreneur may stay busy at whatever industry they like for as long as they wish to be industrious. Just look at those busy wheels of the marketplace turn, will you! Beautiful to watch it all go round, but when you dive in, you’ll notice that you have this little factor against which you must struggle to make your business succeed: competition.
Yes, it is kind of a kill-joy that so many of your customers have the option of taking their business somewhere else. Particularly in the hospitality field, where restaurants, bars, hotels, and casinos are so commonly found everywhere. You can compete directly, trying to outdo your competitors on either price or quality. But when that fails, a possible strategy to consider is going for a niche market.
Here, you specialize in one particular category, and profess to do that one thing well and do it exclusively. The Starbucks coffee franchise is an excellent example: They started out as a small chain of espresso shops in Seattle, Washington. That’s it, that’s all they’re known for: coffee. Although their success has helped them branch out into tea and other drinks, as well as snacks and pastry. So now they’re more of a chain of cafes mostly known for their coffee.
It is arguable that Starbucks would not have existed without the college/techie crowd. The chain became the “happening” place for college students and especially technology entrepreneurs, two groups who are known for their enthusiasm about coffee beverages. The decor and atmosphere of the earliest Starbucks stores reflects this very well: a hip, urban, sophisticated atmosphere, where you wouldn’t at all be surprised to find a poet scribbling on a legal pad, a programmer or blogger tattering away on a laptop, an artist quietly sketching the crowd, and a couple of old intellectuals playing chess at a corner table, all the while with the alternative music on the speakers providing the subtext.
Bars are a prime candidate for niche specialization. We’ve all discovered the country/western themed bar, the disco club, the working-class “fern bar”, the biker bar, the sailor bar, and the popular sports bar. Bars cater to a wide range of specialties, and there are establishments dedicated to singles, bars exclusively for the members of an alternative lifestyle to meet and mingle, or bars themed for the fans of a particular genre of music. Bars, being for recreational purposes anyway, lend themselves easily to having a theme. You also see bars marketing to an age-based niche, such as establishments themed as “speakeasies” or catering to a jazz-loving crowd. Anything from a 1950’s “sock hop” to a 1990’s “yuppie safari” can be styled with a bar.
Restaurants are another frequent candidate for niche specialties. Virtually any ethnic variety of food is represented in a restaurant somewhere. But restaurants have many more options for finding their niche than just their national identity on the menu; and so we have truck-stop diners, wine-country bed-and-breakfast inns, swanky upper-crust establishments, sidewalk cafes, family-oriented pizza parlors, and specialties like bakeries and ice-cream shops.
It could be argued that pizza, by itself, is no longer identified with Italian food. The national “Chuck E. Cheese” chain demonstrates that very well. Founded by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell in San Jose California, they knew their target market was suburban families, and so they set up a restaurant not just selling pizza, but arcades, shows, and a wide variety of entertainment aimed mostly at small children. The chain remains today as one of the few reliably family-friendly establishments to offer a viable option for a night out for the whole household. The restaurant is suburban and Americanized; you will find very little references to Italy aside from the menu.
Even hotels and casinos get in on the niche marketing action. Here, the niche marketing is less important, since these establishments are too large to not be aimed at being for everyone. Casinos especially aim for a specific theme to style everything after. A cruise of the Las Vegas strip will reveal casinos themed after an ancient Roman emperor, a Western saloon, an Egyptian pyramid, the city of Paris, the city of Venice, and so on. Many casinos now target fun for the whole family as well, and include everything from movie theaters to full scale amusement parks with rides, live shows, and attractions.
Whatever niche you pick for your own business, you should be able to understand your target audience. Think of it as a system of points. You score one point for your Asian restaurant if your menu is authentic enough that a member of that country could eat there and not know the difference. You score more points if the business is decorated with a theme of the country; for an Asian restaurant Foo dogs, Buddhas, and bamboo and water fountains are all popular touches. You score another point for your Asian theme if you offer chopsticks as an alternative utensil. And so on. Each point you can add to the score card represents one more way you can provide your niche market customer base with an authentic experience.

How Lean Six Sigma Can Bring Quality And Efficiency To Firms
To ensure the success of lean Six Sigma implementations, the project manager should not only have the requisite Six Sigma qualifications and training, but should also have knowledge about the basics of Lean 6 Sigma. Given below are some of the basics of Lean 6 Sigma, which are applicable to manufacturing firms that are in the process of implementing Lean Six Sigma.
Data Authenticity
Even the most advanced computerized systems installed in an organization will not be effective as long as the data or information that is used as input is incorrect. This is why it is necessary to concentrate efforts on gathering genuine data relevant to the needs and requirements of a particular Lean 6 Sigma improvement initiative.
Managing Performance
Lean Six Sigma implementation projects require team effort. If a team were strained with the personal egos of individual team members, it would become quite difficult to achieve the desired results in time. The project manager should continuously try to motivate team members to contribute their efforts towards the achievement of common Lean 6 Sigma goals and objectives.
Production System
Lean 6 Sigma lays stress on employing sequential production techniques, rather than depending on the obsolete shop scheduling production technique. The fact that sequential production techniques are quite effective is easily evident from the use of such techniques by manufacturing behemoths. This however does not imply that this technique is only beneficial for large corporations. Small and medium sized enterprises can also derive the same benefits from this new production methodology.
Effective Logistics
Lean 6 Sigma stresses building a simple yet effective logistical platform that helps in reducing inventory-carrying costs, while improving efficiency at the same time. Such a logistical system is characterized by continuous flow of raw materials and finished goods from point A to point B.
Cycle Time Management
Lean 6 Sigma methodologies stress reducing long cycle times, which are a reflection of inefficient manufacturing processes and excessive non-value-added costs. The focus is on eliminating the root cause of extended cycle times, rather than devising short-term solutions.
Linear Production Model
Lean Six Sigma stresses designing a production model that can be configured as and when needed, depending on the existing demand. It should be flexible so that the production can be decreased or increased according to seasonal variations, without affecting the quality of the end product.
Timely Decisions
To make the most of what the market has to offer, manufacturing firms need to be proactive in making essential strategic decisions, such as when to downsize and when to start recruiting. A timely decision is one of the main factors that make the difference between a lost opportunity and increased profitability. Lean Six Sigma is beneficial because it helps in making timely business decisions.
Having knowledge about the above stated Lean Six Sigma basics will help project managers to complete the implementations successfully and within the specified planned period. It will also help in ensuring the long-term sustainability of the implemented Lean Six Sigma project.

Your Blog Can Make Money
Do you own a blog or several blogs? If you do, then do, then do you know that you can make money from your blogs? If you are already making money from your blog, do you want to know how you can make even more money than what you are making now?
Many of you are probably aware of Google’s Adsense money making program. If you own a blog and are not taking advantage of this program, then it is such a waste as you are throwing away making easy money opportunities. For those who are wondering what Adsense is all about, they are advertisements Google put on your blog or websites.
If you are a regular internet surfer, you would have probably come across links the words “Ads by Google”. Those are adsense advertisements and Google pays a commission to the blog owner for every click on the advertisements.
Some of you may even have tried it, but are not making decent money while others makes 5 figure incomes monthly. Why is there such a disparity? It is because there are many things you need to do besides merely placing adsense advertisements on your blog and hoping people will come to your blog and start clicking away on your advertisements.
If you know how to get people to come to your site and click on Google’s advertisement, then you are on your way to earning a passive income and if you have many blogs, then you will have multiple streams of passive income. The best part of all this is that this program is free. You don’t have to pay anything to start a blog and earn commissions from Google. That means that there is zero financial risk.
Now the trouble is that most bloggers thought that by just inserting the advertisement, money will come rolling in. Yes, it can be that simple. You can see some money coming in quickly, but it will be merely peanuts. If you want to earn more money out of your blogs, there are more things to do.
Here are some things you need to think about and learn if you want to make more money blogging on your favorite subjects.
a) How to get traffic onto my blog? There are many ways to do this such as making your blog search engine friendly and ranking well on search engines. There are many information on the internet on how this is done or you can visit my blog for more tips. The link is at the bottom of this article.
b) How to get my blog visitors to click my adsense ads? Believe it or not, where do you place your ads, what format and colors are your ads can influence whether your visitors will click on your ads.
c) How to get ads that are paying me more money?
If you have the answers to these questions and are putting them to good use, then you can sit back and wait for the fat paycheck that Google will be sending to you month after month.

Importance Of Six Sigma In The Business World
Better Than TQM
Six Sigma is important because it scores much higher over other quality improvement techniques such as TQM. Business organizations employing TQM just focus on achieving predetermined quality levels, which certainly improves efficiencies but does not allow the organization to realize the full potential. Six Sigma is different as the focus here is to make consistent quality improvements until business processes are fully optimized. As soon a certain quality level is achieved, the organization shifts gears and starts concentrating on achieving other levels of quality. The whole process continues until all the business processes are fully optimized.
Data Driven Approach
6 Sigma concepts and methodologies stress the use of statistical tools and techniques for improving quality and reducing defects. The dependence on hard facts and figures automatically ensures that whatever decisions are taken will have the desired affect on the quality of goods or services and the efficiency of business processes.
An experienced production manager may be the right person to make quality-improvement decisions but if the decisions are based solely on gut feelings and preconceived notions, the decisions may not have the desired effect, especially if the task is to make adjustments in a complex business process. The inherent ability of Six Sigma to produce the desired results has thus increased its importance in today’s business world.
Helps Increase Customer Satisfaction And Build Loyalties
Another reason for the ever-increasing popularity and importance of Six Sigma is that it really helps when it comes to handling competition, which has increased considerably in today’s business world. Business organizations worldwide have realized that in order to beat the competition, they will have to offer better quality products or services to their customers and that too at competitive rates.
Six Sigma helps because it enables business organizations to achieve the above stated objective, which ultimately results in greater customer satisfaction and helps in building customer loyalty. Having a loyal group of customers is always important for any business because it ensures a constant flow of revenues even when there is a cyclical downturn in the industry.
The importance of 6 Sigma has increased manifold in the last two decades and is set to increase even more in the coming years as more and more businesses realize its benefits. 6 Sigma is anticipated to maintain its dominance over all other existing quality improvement techniques because it is flexible and can be altered to suit the requirements of new businesses that might come up in the near future. We can never be too sure about the future but as far as the present is concerned, Six Sigma is certainly calling the shots across all types of industries worldwide.

Black Belts Within A Company’s Structure
Investment
The immediate investment costs of training existing employees may be more than the monthly fees charged by an external Black Belt, but when we look at long-term gains, internal Black Belts are certainly the best choice. Investing in internal Black Belts would mean that the organization would never have to pay for the services of external Black Belts. The savings generated could then be used to provide Six Sigma training to more employees.
Employee Loyalty
Most of the employees who get Black Belt training are likely to be appreciative of the organization’s policies and pledge their loyalties for the organization. However, it is also possible that some employees may become complacent, thinking that they have gained immunity because of their past performance. Such employees must be dealt with, with an iron hand and not allowed to become a drag on the organization. Expecting loyalty from external Black Belts will not be wise because it’s obvious that their services are available to anyone who offers the biggest paycheck.
Familiarity with Company Processes
Existing employees have in-depth knowledge about the organization’s business processes, making it easier for them carry out the implementation work. In comparison, external Black Belts may require more time for understanding the existing processes. If for technical reasons, an organization decides to hire external Black Belts, then it would be wise to hire a Black Belt who has prior experience in a similar organization or industry.
Familiarity with Company Structure
Existing employees are quite familiar with the organizational structure and know exactly whom to contact for suggestions or solving implementation related problems. External Black Belts may not have the same level of familiarity, but they have a natural advantage because it has often been noticed that project sponsors and team members are more receptive to the ideas and suggestions of a professional hired from outside that those offered by existing employees.
Learning Curve in Six Sigma
Although existing employees are well versed with the organization’s processes, they might still face difficulties during the implementation process because they have very limited experience of using six sigma tools and techniques. In comparison, external Black Belts are professionals and know that if they do not perform, they will be fired. External Black Belts will certainly deliver the results as long as they get their paychecks.
Six sigma implementations can certainly help organizations to stay ahead of the competition. To ensure successful and cost-effective implementations, organizations should first analyze their needs and requirements in relation to the above stated factors and then make the decision of whether to opt for an internal or external Black Belt.

Are You Prepared For Baby Booming Chaos!
Could you allow your family to pay a potential 30 percent to 50 percent of increased taxes from the already current tax rate, so the upcoming baby boomers can hit the golf course at sixty-two while they drink gin and tonic all the way till they hit 85 years of age? Building a business or better yet, a wholesale business these days have never been so crucial for many of us than ever before.
The lack of discernment and consideration from our U.S government was to be expected. Those who were born from 1946-1964 are expected to cash-in for the baby -Boomsday- year. When many of our family members and friends hit the age of 62 years of age, as of now, it could mean $2.7 trillion in federal budget debt that would have to be paid up for generations to come!
Can you imagine what could be having the baby boomer generation, about 77 million and counting, turning 62 and 65 years of age from all US states and territories in this up ahead booming years, in exact facts, starting from year 2011 and beyond? With Iraq being a total mess and global warming being the spotlight for the potential years to come-what could your paycheck, savings and income mean to you and your family for the foreseen 2011? Will you leave that to George Bush, Al Gore-faith?
Get to know even more facts that could affect your job, investment and wholesale businesses. What are the approximate ages of today authority politicians in our US government? There is no need to perform much research for it, it sure is easy to deduct. With a quick realistic minimum view, more than 50% in positions of power are baby boomers. Do you think any politician with power or those who can be heard by others who outrank them will want their Social Security or Medicare plan to be affected in cost, upon them getting to retire?
Right now it sounds like first class tickets to Carnival Cruise are going to be fully booked for 2011. If nobody with higher ranks in our US government does something enlightening to fix this huge loophole of upcoming higher tax rates thanks to the millions of Baby Boomers that are up for retirement cashing in their social security and millions upon millions getting granted the maximum coverage of Medicare- many will hate the market, others will definitely love the market.
The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer. Inflation all the way through every industry, a regular sandwich costing more than Kennedy Space Center dinner for two and if you are between the ages of 18-35, instead of having 2 jobs like many people in the medium class have, you will have to get either an acceptable pay raise at your job to survive, potential get 3 jobs or in more calm ways of writing it without realistic up-ahead drama or sounding too cynic- you build businesses online!
You have a plethora of options to choose. Would you like to work harder and more, or would you rather work harder for a proper amount of time with financial purposes counting family and stay relaxed when the bad days come? The facts are all over, will you be swept away by hope and belief in our current government or will you carry the torch for the years ahead with so many facts about our upcoming 2011 -Boomsday- year. You should ensure your financial future for the years ahead, make smart decisions based on the already available facts and you should be more than fine!

Making Money Is An Inside Job
Do you have enough money to pay all your bills and expenses, with plenty left over?
If you’re like most people, the answer, unfortunately, is no.
You’re always a step behind and trying to catch up.
What is the psychological reason behind this phenomena? Or do you still think that they (whoever they are) are doing it to you? That somehow the problem lies outside yourself.
If you are willing to take responsibility for yourself, willing to accept that you are the one who is creating your experiences out of an infinite choice of experiences, than you may find the following idea insightful.
The reason you (and everyone else, too) has insufficient income is because you are resisting it. On the surface, this may sound absurd. After all, you are actively working 24/7 to make money. Yet on a subconscious level you associate pain to having more money.
Usually, this pain comes in three forms.
1. You have your parent’s money script, which is based on some level of emotional pain associated with money.
2. You have to do something you dislike to earn enough. In other words, your job or income source is painful. You have to deal with unpleasant people or pursue uncomfortable experiences to make money.
3. In the past, you have been embarrassed by not having enough when you needed it. Thus, again you are associating pain with money.
In all three instances, money equals pain. It may be the pain of having too little, losing it, earning it, or spending it. Regardless of the source, what your subconscious mind registers is pain. Because it wants to keep you in control, feeling safe and approved, your subconscious mind then works on blocking the source of your pain. In this case, it keeps you from having more money. After all, it reasons, since money creates pain, the less you have of it, the better you will feel. The fact that this is simply not true is obvious to the conscious mind, but since it is only about 10% or less of your mind, it does not have that much of an impact. Instead your irrational moods, random feelings, and surges of debilitating apathy control you.
The result, unfortunately, is that you don’t have enough money, and because you don’t have enough to meet all your needs, you are not able to expand your life and express yourself in the way you really desire. You short yourself of the materials necessary to expand your consciousness, including getting better food and lodging, transportation, health care, exercise or education.
Since you resist money because it is the source of pain, you end up with money problems. Thus, in an attempt to avoid pain, you also avoid money. All this, of course, is happening at a level below conscious awareness. It is not a logical way of thinking, but, then again, logic is not the domain of the subconscious mind. It’s chief concern is to help you survive–even if this means depriving you of money
Working on these three areas of emotional pain alone will do a tremendous amount to boost your income and give you a larger life. Of course, there may be other areas, depending on your personal history. However, you will only find out once you embark on a journey of personal self-discovery. You cannot heal emotional wounds that you are not yet aware of.
When you have no resistance, when making and spending money is joyful, then you will open the floodgates to bringing in a lot more money into your life.
When you clear your subconscious mind of the emotional pain associated with money, you give it permission to start making the law of attraction work for you to bring a lot more wealth into your life.
Abundance exists in our world. Walk around any big city and you will notice that you are surrounded by billions of dollars worth of real estate, vehicles, and other expressions of money. There is plenty of money, and if you feel that you can’t get your hands on a larger section of the pie, it is because of some level of inner resistance.
At any point in time, you can learn a better trade, apply for a better job, or come up with a unique money-making service. If all of this seems too difficult, it is not because there is a shortage of opportunity, but because something is draining your joy around having more, being more, and experiencing more from your life.
Does money make you happy? Perhaps it does, perhaps it makes no difference. It all depends on who you are. However, when you feel happy, you will make more money. Why? Because you will communicate more, be more self-expressive and giving, serve others out of the sheer joy of it, and have more creative ideas and insights about the nature of social contribution.
What, then, is the inner block that keeps you from a joyful, abundant life, rich in contribution to yourself and the world? What is it that keeps you from feeling happy right now and seizing wonderfully uplifting money-making opportunities? It is pain, emotional pain residing in your subconscious mind. Pain that arose due to a negative experience in the past associated with money. Pain that can be eradicated with some inner work.
Life is all about choices. You can choose to heal your money wounds and move to a prosperous and deeply fulfilling life at any moment. Once you set that decision in motion, the way to fulfill your dreams will unravel itself.
