How I did it
How to have a poem published
It took me
100 days
It made me
Uh-huh...

How I did it: However, over time, I came to realise that poetry dot come, at least at that time, was a damn fool marketing exercise.  I got junk mail from them for months afterwards demanding payment for something I'd not requested.So, ok, I'm counting this, but I'm not sure if I should!

How to get rid of everything I don't need
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I had a limit of five cubic metres and four suitcases, and everything I owned had to compress into that.  Most of it was in storage, so on the hottest day of the Queensland summer, I threw most of it out of storage and into a skip.There wasn't time to sell any of it, and I wasn't willing to haggle my way through my possessions either.  Some things went to friends and a new home.Some of it was very rough.  I personally don't think that the… Read how I did it…

Anyhoo, I ended up buying some very plain, very cheap, very comfortable, brown lace-up shoes. They looked horrible, as though they’d been painted. But they are a great shape and fit.

So I took them home, wore them as is for a day, sure, people pulled faces at them. But then, folks, the magic… I polished my brown shoes with black polish.

This immediately transformed them. It gives them a slightly antique look. Now I’m alternating layers of black and brown, giving it a few days between polishes to make sure the last layer is as solid as possible. They look great!

Buy my first investment property (read all 3 entries…)
Not yet... 21 months ago

I’ve realised that I was wanting to have an investment property to create cash flow.

It’s the other way round, duh! ONCE I’ve got cashflow (see my entry about Network 21) THEN I can get into property.
