My first Idea Extraction call

Emilien Klein 2015-04-25

So last Wednesday I had my first practice Idea Extraction (IE) call with Esther de Boer. In this post I'm relating how it went, and (most importantly) I'm going over the feedback I received from Esther.

The Foundation: one month in

Emilien Klein 2015-04-24

It's been a month since I was accepted into The Foundation. Although the course only started on March 30, here is a small recap of where I'm at as of April 24. I guess you can see that as an intent to get accountability working for me!

Introduction to The Foundation

Emilien Klein 2015-03-18

If you're looking for a good introduction to the mindset of The Foundation, I've found episode 46 of the Smart Passive Income podcast to be that. In it, Dane Maxwell from The Foundation discusses the approach to building an online business.

I have applied to The Foundation

EDIT 2015-04-24: On March 25 I have officially joined The Foundation as a student!

I've done it, I've applied to The Foundation! As the thank-you-submit page says:

While you wait for your acceptance decision, sit tight, relax, and get ready…if you join us for this six month journey, you’ll have one of the most intense, life changing six months of your life.

Should I be accepted, this will certainly mean making time concessions, but I'm ready for it!

Heard on Farnoosh Torabi's podcast So Money episode 52 with Ric Edelman:

If a 20 year old wants to amass $1M by age 65, all they have to do is save $3 a day.

Emilien Klein 2015-03-12

These are the seven highlights of this video from The Foundation:

Clearly written Why
20 mile march, one hour of action per day
Skill of reflection
Accountability
Abundant mindset, giving more than you take
Figure out the how later, make commitment and say yes
Reach out for help

I'm each day more interested in applying to The Foundation...

Summary of The Science of Getting Rich

Emilien Klein 2015-03-08

As part of the 30-day challenge that I have accepted to read four chapters of The Science of Getting Rich book for 30 consecutive days, I wanted to write a review of that book. But as it happens, the last chapter of the book summarizes it much better than what I would have been able to do...

30-day challenge: The Science of Getting Rich

Emilien Klein 2015-03-06

After listening to episode 813 of the Entrepreneur On Fire podcast, I have bought the book The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles (published in 1910) and am taking the 30-day challenge to read the following chapters EVERY day for 30-days:

The book is rather short and can be read in just a couple of hours. Chapter 17 is a good summary of the book, which according to Aaron Young "will change your life" ;)

Will you join me in this challenge?

I will start counting back to 0 days if I miss one day. As of Tuesday, April 7 I've read the four chapters for thirty consecutive days. Challenge won!

Note: the book is freely (as in cost of 0) available on Wikisource.org. You can also get it in the form of a (once again) freely downloadable audiobook on Librivox. And to allow you to "read" the book while driving or partaking in actions that do not permit reading, I've concatenated the four relevant chapters into a single OGG audio file. So no excuses!
