Member Mind Change Makeover
In the same way that we issue challenges, we also take challenges upon ourselves. What we do has nothing to do with intellectual skill. It is simply the result of hard work and dedication. Anyone can apply the same principles that we espouse to their own lives, and achieve equal or better results. To this end we have decided to take on the ultimate challenge. We are going to take a regular hardworking single African-American woman and apply the principles of investment to her life. In between now and the end of the year if our advice is scrupulously followed, There will be a significant and dramatic change. We are also working with what is at this time an anonymous client. Who we hope will be willing to share her information also. Every two weeks we will provide updates on each client until they are debt free and have a positive net worth... Neither one owns a home, and they are both having difficulty getting ahead. They have both agreed to think outside<BR>the box since conventional wisdom is not working for them.<BR><BR>Name: Aminah<BR>Age: 32<BR>Status: Single <BR>Occupation: <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1223856191_0>Entrepreneur</SPAN> (Owner of several businesses)<BR>Monthly Income: $2,350<BR>Expenses: $4,265<BR>Net worth: -$25,000<BR>About Aminah.<BR>She is a Realtor in <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1223856191_1>California</SPAN>.
