He suggested to think about how to help Haiti by means of using a Meetup. Obviously if you’ve donated your share already, kindly pass this information to someone who likes to further help. Honestly your word-of-mouth p …

I was looking for a group of fellow self directed IRA owners on Meetup and did not find one, so I decided to start one up. I am looking to start a group where we can exchange ideas and possibly even form partnerships to help us grow our retirement accounts. While a self directed IRA offers us great opportunities, it requires a lot more work and education than just putting money into an account and leaving it up to someone else to grow or lose our money. Let's see if we can work together to share …

Ours is a book club on the old model: a long-term, ongoing group of women that reads and discusses a variety of books and enjoys great friendships. We're now just over a year old, and while people have come and gone, a core group is in the process of forming. Our meetings are fun, boisterous affairs where lots of interesting and often diverging views are aired. The books we read span a wide spectrum: fiction, biography, non-fiction, classics, etc. We don't read self-help or how-to books, …

But I realized through my interactions with students and clients that you do not need someone to teach you about the Law of Attraction just like you do not need someone to teach you about the Law of Gravity! What is helpful though, i …
