48 Days of The 48 Laws of Power - 1st Law

I first read the 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene about 8 years ago and it was quite possibly the most powerful book (besides the Bible and the Qur'an) I have ever read.

Robert Greene lays out the book in The Art of War fashion. He uses stories from a time that once was as a examples for his 48 Laws. This book has been infamous for being read and studied by CEO's, Executive Managers, Politicians and Royal Families alike.

I am currently on my second read of the book! I also heard in an interview with the ever hustlin' rapper/entrepreneur 50 Cent that he is currently working with the Author to make the new book: The 50th Law! An addendum to the original book. Look out for that. I will be reading that one too.

For the next 48 days, I will be sharing some information from each law with my friends and followers. So stay tuned. Here's the first Law:

Law 1: NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER!

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite - inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.

Credit and Banking Industry News - This Just In!

This Just In:

Some major Credit Card Companies such as: Chase, AMEX and the like have been changing the monthly minimum amount of cash you can pay them for their high balance customers.

The minimum amount you usually pay on your balance is about 2% of the entire balance. Now the Major Credit Card Companies (b.k.a Banks that charge ridiculous interest rates to suck us dry of our hard earned money) are raising that balance to 5%. You say, "that's not that bad!" Well, if you weren't the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to your math lessons, let me break it down for you:

2% on a $5,000.00 balance is $100.00
5% on a $5000.00 balance is $250.00. A monthly difference of $150.00.

If you have a balance of $20,000.00 you could see your monthly minimum payment go from $400.00 to $1,000.00 at once. Not gradually. The worst part is the banks are not informing the people. They're not changing the interest rates. Just the amount of the minimum monthly payment.

This really effects the people who have switched all their credit card debt to one major card in hopes of controlling their debt and lowering their payments. Now that their debt is centralized it makes their balance(s) higher than usual.

Most people are not being fore-warned. Check with your credit card issuers and make sure this won't happen to you.

Be blessed.

Thoughts of Prosperity... even in hard times!

I was just sitting here thinking... Sometimes we can let everything get in our way of achieving prosperity. Bills due. Bad economy. Kids going crazy. Spouse acting not acting accordingly. etc. etc. The list can be endless. Anyway, we let all kinds of roadblocks deter us from reaching the levels we can realistically reach.

Think about this: "we are exactly what we think of ourselves."

Confucius once said, "the man who says he can't and the man who says he can find that they are both usually right." I know. Deep right?

So for today, do as I do, have done and will continue to do. That is, keep your head to the sky and your feet moving forward your goals. No matter how slow the motion may seem.

Be mindful of our thoughts because they become your speech. Your speech becomes your actions and your actions ultimately become YOU.

It was reported by CBS that the President said that now is the time to buy stocks due to the latest weakening of the stock market. Is he right or not?

Well, I guess that's for you to decide.
