A few weeks ago a guy wrote in about investing tips. My wife and I are considering starting our own business part time and hope to go full time eventually. We don’t have a lot of money to invest; less than $500. Any hot tips? Signed Grateful Dear Grateful, Thanks for the kind words. I will start by telling you to never invest on a tip. It’s the fastest way to poverty I can think of. With so little to invest I would suggest investing it in your education which will continue to serve you well for your entire life. You didn’t mention which business you are considering but I would suggest going to the local big time book store and investing in some good books on the subject. Buy books from people who have actually succeeded in business, not just in writing about it. You will find at my web site See Al LeBlanc.Com a gems page that has a link to my e-book about home business and a link to Robert Kiyosaki’s material a little lower on the page. At your level both will be helpful. Your mind is the most powerful tool you have so treat it with respect and feed it knowledge. Your subconscious mind will serve you well. Remember it only responds to information not emotion. Understanding the nature of this truth can make you wealthy. Al Dear Al, I caught my husband having an affair a year ago. We’ve been through counseling and it’s helped some. I’ve forgiven him and he has promised never to do it again. I can’t get it out of my head that every time he is intimate with me he is thinking of her. I know her and she is younger and prettier than I am. A friend told me this happened to her and she went out and had an affair of her own to get back at him and it helped because it made him jealous and made her feel better. Don’t think I haven’t considered this. Now my husband is trying to make me feel guilty because he says I’m frigid! Any advice? Signed Hurt Dear Hurt, Pardon my directness but your question took a lot of the column space. I feel it’s time for the whole bunch of you to grow up! First off you haven’t forgiven him in the least. You’re still very angry and feeling betrayed and you want to hurt him back so you probably have been a little cold. Your friend’s solution is immature and simply puts her on the fast track to a probable breakup in her marriage. If this is your goal keep it up and you will end up in court like she’s going to eventually with that attitude. Your self image is not what it should be. We are attractive from the inside first and it translates itself into a physical appeal that overrides physical beauty. When you learn to love yourself appropriately others will respond to you in kind. Your husband was wrong but he seems to have tried to put it behind you but you won’t let him. I know it’s hard but if you want to stay married to this man you must put the past in the past as difficult as it may seem. A counselor can’t help people who don’t want to be helped but would rather revel in their misery and “poor me” attitude. Life is tough and we sometimes get dealt an unfortunate hand. The real key is how you play that hand. Let it go. Your mental gyrations are going to ruin what little glimmer you have left in this relationship. True forgiveness requires adult maturity. Are you up to it? I think you can do it. Think hard about what you really want. Revenge or a life. Al _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ Recent revelations have appeared in the press that quotes some of the captured terrorists as well as John Lind that two additional attacks were scheduled for our nation, each to be more horrific than the last. As the national debate over Iraq rages about the inhumanity of killing innocent people as we take out Saddam, think about how much the other side is worried about your children. Could anthrax have been the second attack which we managed to contain? Is a dirty nuclear bomb smuggled into the UN by a courier from another country under diplomatic cover the next? It could kill millions. I for one say let the president do what he must. He has intelligence available to him that none of us can or should have access to. On a second point. I was incensed to see the national distribution of a cartoon on the editorial pages of our newspapers depicting Secretary Rumsfeld addressing the President as Hitler. Shame on Scripts Howard Publishing and all the other outlets who used this left wing trash. Our President is a God fearing man who loves his family and his country. If you don't like his leadership you'll have another election soon enough. The editorial staffs of the nations newspapers should hang their collective heads in shame. Just my opinion. Don't like it?
