I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage you to hug the next man that walks by your computer- be it a co-worker, janitor, boss, husband, roommate, boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, son etc. Then look them in the eye and say “Congratulations” because what I’m beginning to understand from reading Ask For It- is that this gender has been doing an outstanding job of negotiating since the beginning of time!

Bravo boys!

Now move over! It’s our turn to give it a go! Heart you.

Of course its not as simple as “asking for it” – that’s why we’re reading this book. We need skills yo! And this book is gonna give’em in spades. Yes, even if you negotiate for a living, you could always improve. N’est pas?

Soon you’ll be saying: Look at me at go: I negotiated a better salary, new title, better mortgage rate, my age to go down, my ass to shrink, my bonus to increase, more sun to shine, my hair to grow, my money to grow and more cuddles after sexy time. Wow- negotiating is fun!

Read the book: Ask for it.

Then, we’re going to meet and talk about it- and its going to be fun! Then you’re actually going to ask for it! Yeah you are! And you’re going to love it. Oh, yes you will.

To wealth and beyond Wilmas!

Or, a super rich old fart in a bear market. Yeah, that’s it.

Hiya Wilmas,

A ‘bear market’ is the term used to describe the interesting market (economy) that we’re in right now (Wiki ‘bear market’). Notice I didn’t say “bad” market? It's not a bad market at all actually (give me some rope on this...), cause there are a lot of folks making a ton of money in THIS market. So lets change our negative hats (brims filled by the media) and get educated and thirsty for honey! Or err money honey! Shall we?

That means- yep, another book for the Wealthy Wilmas! Did I hear a whimper? A whine? Didn’t think so… you’re gonna love it (lucky ducks). Or we’ll all hate it together (its about risk!). Remember, I’m in this with you. I know as much as you- but I’m spit determined to sit on my yacht sipping cocktails made by a 25 year old hot Italian male model who doesn’t speak English counting my cash… with of course, a select group of Wilmas who are as serious as me. Is that you?

We’re reading “The New Buffettology” by Mary Buffett and David Clark for Wednesday May 6^th- 6:30 start time in your city.  This book is about the strategies of a super rich old fart: Warren Buffett and how he bankrolled in a ‘bear’ market.  Go to my site to see what the book looks like- there are a lot of books on Buffett; be sure to grab the right one. The one we’re reading has gold squares on it.

Who is this old fart?

“Warren Buffett was ranked by Forbes as the richest person in the world during the first half of 2008, with an estimated net worth of $62.0 billion. Buffett is noted for his adherence to the value investing philosophy and for his personal frugality despite his immense wealth.

He’s old and quirky!

"Buffett currently lives in the same house in the central Dundee neighborhood of Omaha that he bought in 1958 for $31,500, today valued at around $700,000. Buffett also is a notable philanthropist. In 2006, he announced a plan to give away his fortune to charity, with 83% of it going to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation."

In the third quarter of 2009 Buffett met an inspiring book group called the Wealthy Wilmas. He told the Wilmas where they could find his strategies to his immense wealth. He made it clear that he hid his strategies in a book.  The Wilmas are projected to uncover his wealth tips by reading said book and will be the first group of female billionaires. Melinda, of Bill & Melinda Gates, has been spotted complaining loudly to her maid “ I want to be a Wealthy Wilma! But Bill says we’re already toooo wealthy! Stupid PC. I’m getting a Mac. Screw him!" 

That’s it Wilmas. Happy reading. Get’er done. Is May 6th in your calendar yet? How about now? Now? What about now?

Happy reading.
