$50,000 in 3 months | (failure rate = 75%)
TRUE STORY: In a fresh internet chat room 20 strangers made a pact together to make $50,000 revenue in 3 months by getting their ideas out there as fast as possible. It was a big but serious dream, especially considering some members were close to broke! In just 9 weeks two of the people in the group exceeded $50,000 and a few more are close behind and making great progress. However, at the same time over half the group is barely making a dent. So what's the difference? Why are some racing ahead and others being left behind? All 20 people work in ...

The Time of “Us & Me”, Not “You & We”? | Correlation of Social Trends & Stock Market Booms & Busts
The above statement refers to a broad change in behavior that has begun to kick in with increasing force since the stock market top in 2007, and also from the previous top in 1999. The implications of this are overwhelming! Just look at the events of the last two years. Economists, businesses, the media and just about everybody appear surprised and shocked by the evolving change in society's character. "CHANGE" - that's been the big buzz word of 2009, but all this change need not be such a shock with a little perspective... It is no coincidence that when the ...
