I know. Let me give you the story: In 2007, I posed for the MILPH calendar. MILPH stands for Mothers in Life, Passion, and Health, a concept started by this fit, gorgeous mother-of-three in Marin. So, according to the definition, I am a MILPH... a play on words for the more sinister acronym. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;So in 2009, I say move over Mr. Rich, Mr. Smooth, Mr. Commitment Phobe, and Mr. Dark Chocolate, and hello Mr. Right. I know it's kind of bold - to be so confident about a relationship so early on - but I say screw it... fortune favors the brave. I approach life with a very "It's either Hell Yes or Hell No attitude," as many of my friends can vouch. There is no luke-warm, 'middle-of-the-road' conundrum for me - it's either on or it's off. And when it's on... watch out.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continue reading here ... &lt;a href="http://www.milphworld.com/milph_blogdetail.php?blog_id=45"&gt;MILPHWorld.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-6867027114393158286?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/6867027114393158286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=6867027114393158286' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/6867027114393158286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/6867027114393158286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-am-officially-milph-pronounced-milf.html' title='I am officially a MILPH (pronounced MILF!)'/><author><name>Alicia Dunams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05155091447765164426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74005584407409860.post-3327461407833489941</id><published>2009-01-08T12:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-08T12:10:34.257-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gift Give-Away until Jan. 31</title><content type='html'>I'm feeling mighty generous, and I want you to start the New Year with a BANG!!

It's something I do that generates 1500$ of income a month - with little effort.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, unless you live under a rock, you have no-doubt heard that the World's economy is in a bit of a melt-down. Not everyone is worried though, like Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, and moi - because I just got creative. (You guys must know me by now - I thrive on challenges!) &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the sub-prime loan crisis, people are losing their homes by the droves. This actually creates a unique opportunity: a hot rental market (because people have been forced out of their homes and purchasing a&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;home&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;is more difficult) and great real estate deals (one of my clients is buying a short-sale condo in Vegas for 210K, it was valued at 550K two years ago.) &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, this Creative Money Technique is to capitalize on the former - a hot rental market! &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't need another investment/rental property to capitalize on the hot rental market - just look no further than that spare bedroom with the boxed x-mas tree and wrapping paper, or that unfinished basement vying for some TLC.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those SPACES are money-makers; they just don't know it yet...&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here of some examples of "thinking outside the box" and making money on SPACE...&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;1. Residents in the town of Wimbledon, England rent their garage and driveway space for hundreds of dollars a day during Wimbledon.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;This is called profiting from pain. The pain for Wimbledon fans = no parking. The solution = provide parking and profit. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;(Why do you think bottles of H2O at Disneyland and other theme parks are like 5 bucks? They're profiting from our pain, baby!) 2. A friend rents out her spare bedroom to a business man who comes into town once a month. Interestingly enough, the business man sometimes doesn't come for months on end, or when he does it's for a day a so. He just wants a physical address to receive packages.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;So my friend is getting a monthly check without anyone really being there.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;3. A couple who has a large 2 bedroom house, but wanted to make better use of the space. So they particle-boarded off two extra rooms to rent out to foreign exchange students. The rent from the foreign exchange students pays 2/3rds of their mortgage.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;4. A financial savvy women who will be an empty nester next fall when her last child leaves for college. Her large beautiful home in Marin is almost paid for, and she is converting her basement into a turn-key flat with a separate entrance. She will live rent-free and the rent she receives from her beautiful home will be a significant source of income.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;5. One of my girlfriends, who is also a single mom, rents out her extra room to another single mom. Instead on money, her renter provides day-care and domestic duties.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;6. A college student who bought a 4-bedroom house and rents out 3 of the bedrooms. Her mortgage is paid for by the rent.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These stories motivated me to simplify and cut costs. So I now rent out my extra bedroom to female Korean international students. I am completely pleased with the situation, as they provide company for me and my daughter when they are here, but most of the time they are at school or traveling on weekends. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Besides, I get a kick out of other people contributing to the mortgage bucket each month. That way I can take my extra savings and apply it to my personal goals - like living the entire summer in Europe next year.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;So, you want to make money on SPACE? Here are a few steps:&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;1) Take inventory of where you live. Is there something - an extra bedroom, storage unit, garage - that would be more valuable rented out rather than just used as a place to store junk? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;2) Take inventory of the city you live. Every city has some sort of redeeming qualities that make it sought after. Is it a college town? A tourist destination? A business center? Scenic?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Commuting difference from a major city or landmark? This is how you will market your space and find potential renters.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;3) Research how much money you can charge for your offering. (Check out similar postings on craigslist, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;4) Put all three together and rent it out. Cha-ching...&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, now you are one step closer to your vacation in the Bahamas or trekking the Himalayas...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-3303584696312048319?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/3303584696312048319/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=3303584696312048319' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/3303584696312048319'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/3303584696312048319'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/creative-money-technique-numero-uno.html' title='Creative Money Technique numero uno!'/><author><name>Alicia Dunams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05155091447765164426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74005584407409860.post-1981459983209497187</id><published>2008-09-19T10:38:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-19T10:42:47.810-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ambition... sin or virtue??</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;A few weeks ago I was in LA lying out on my girlfriend's couch after a fun, yet exhaustive week at Disneyland.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;My friend was at work, my daughter was asleep, and so I decided to pop in the DVD, The Other Boleyn Girl, for a little entertainment, R&amp;amp;R, 'me time.' Good movie... but there was one line that rocked my world for about 10.7 seconds. It was when Anne Boleyn's mother states:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;"Since when has ambition become a virtue - not a sin?"&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;%$#*! I never knew it was a sin.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like many people I know, I have always been ambitious. I mean, for me it's always "doing this, doing that." Going here, 'goal'ing there. Ambition is like having air in my lungs - it gives me a kick in my step, like a bit of lavender oil. Truthfully, it's been a driving force since I did my first 'bucket list' when I was in 7th grade, which read something like:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Travel around the world-&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Swim the Great Barrier Reef in Australia- Be a fashion model- Be an oceanographer- Feed the children-Etc.-&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Well, I've achieved some of the above, with varying levels of success (which is up to one's own perspective). But those 'bucket lists' are like my shopping lists... they navigate me through my time on earth. Maybe I won't get to all of them, but my drive to achieve them opens up new doors and experiences I may not have considered.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, going back to ambition. Is it a sin? Well, maybe sin-like, if I trampled over other people, small animals, and children to get to my goals, like how Tonya Harding ruffed up Nancy Kerrington on her way to Olympic Gold. (oh no she didn't! oh yes I did... brings back memories, huh?)&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;But in Tonya's case, was that a sin or a decision that lead to a lifetime of challenges and lessons that has made her who she is today? &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Sometimes I get the odd question like "did you use Rich Men to get the material for your book." (which I can totally understand some people thinking.) Of course, I say NO because after I decided to write my book, I told everyone I dated about my book. And, in almost every case, that would lead to an interesting conversation, in which my dates would give me sound bites and their advice on chapter titles... "No, you should name it this!".&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And it was actually one of the men I dated who encouraged me to write the book.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I will continue being ambitious, while doing my best to keep everyone happy and adding 'good ' to the world. (and remember 'good' is relative.)&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Dr. Wayne Dyer that said, while pointing to his mostly bald head with a few white tufts, "This is A LOT of hair in a bowl of soup."&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;It's all perspective, baby!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xoxoxox&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Alicia&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Love your emails as always!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;BTW...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Join my FB page... &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=562050966"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=562050966&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Follow me on Twitter... &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/AliciaDunams"&gt;http://twitter.com/AliciaDunams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-1981459983209497187?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/1981459983209497187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=1981459983209497187' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/1981459983209497187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/1981459983209497187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/ambition-sin-or-virtue.html' title='ambition... sin or virtue??'/><author><name>Alicia Dunams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05155091447765164426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74005584407409860.post-4141874654762042342</id><published>2008-09-19T10:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-19T10:39:40.555-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='travel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Connie Umebenhower'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='himalayan boot camp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wellness'/><title type='text'>india or bust...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;It may sound like all I do is travel and date.

I think we all need cathartic travel outings, like this one, to regroup and focus on what truly matters. It gives us time to relax, focus on personal growth, but also the time to be creative in dreaming up and visualizing our life’s goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I know what some of you may be thinking... "OMG, I don't have any money." "The economy is in the toilet. I just can't." “I don't have the time!" Well, that kind of thinking often times keeps you in that 'stuck mode’... maybe in a job you hate, a relationship you are not happy with, and otherwise in a deep, down dirty FUNK. Does that sound like you? Isn’t it time to get unstuck?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I hear these concerns often, beginning tomorrow, I will send out my 5 Creative Money Techniques to FIND and SAVE money. I say FIND because money is out there; you just need to open your eyes to receive the abundance. Look for the #1 Creative Money Technique tomorrow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Alicia Dunams&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goaldigger.com/"&gt;www.goaldigger.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/inbox/#/profile.php?id=562050966&amp;amp;ref=profile"&gt;http://www.new.facebook.com/inbox/#/profile.php?id=562050966&amp;amp;ref=profile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-4141874654762042342?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/4141874654762042342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=4141874654762042342' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/4141874654762042342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/4141874654762042342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/india-or-bust.html' title='india or bust...'/><author><name>Alicia Dunams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05155091447765164426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74005584407409860.post-4273402095825547424</id><published>2008-08-14T19:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-14T19:51:50.267-07:00</updated><title type='text'>my date with an ex-pat, Part 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I know y'all are dying to know - yes I went on a second date with  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;the ex-pat. He is still tall, good-looking and very much an&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;eligible bachelor, but, alas, he is back in England, as of&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;yesterday. A couple of you emailed me and asked where I meet such a&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;fine-looking thing, and I say with a red face: Craigslist (CL). &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;I know, I know. Craigslist is for desperate, lonely people right?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Well, I was desperate and lonely back in England a couple months&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;back, after coming back from my cousin's wedding where there so&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;much 'love and ceremony' in the air. (Bah humbug! LOL! Just kidding!)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;So, I put an ad on Craigslist - it read 'American Girl in London',&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;and holy moly, within minutes, I was flooded with emails from some&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;fantastic male candidates. I mean, I've done CL in SF one or two&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;times and nothing, and here I am in London getting emails from&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;CEOs, entrepreneurs, Hedge Fund managers, barristers, etc.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;(I am&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;surprised I didn't get something from the Prime Minister). So I was&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;contacted by some major heavy contenders, including my ex-pat. (I&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;also got a few obscene pictures and someone offering to suck my&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;toes... so not all good, but pretty impressive in regards to CL&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;standards.)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Many of you may not know this, but I have been single for three&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;years! Other than Mr. Rich - whom I talk about extensively in Goal&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Digger - and that was anything but a regular, loving relationship.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Far from it...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;So, my friends, I am ready to turn a new leave and give love a&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;chance, and Mr. Ex-pat may have entered into an auspicious&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;situation.... Alicia Dunams wanting to settle down.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;OMG, say it ain't so!! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Yes, I know, I know it's been only two dates, yet I approached it a&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;bit differently than from other dates in the past three years: I&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;decided not to tell him about my book. The reason: I find that fact&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;about me scares men off a bit... or I can definitely say it&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;separates the men and the boys. Since the publishing of Goal&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Digger, it seems that only older, wealthy gentlemen can handle my&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;sass and gumption, while younger, regular-type guys systemically&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;"head for the hills."&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Nonetheless, after Date 2, I ended up sending him a text message&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;about my book, as I felt dishonest holding that fact back. So I&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;figured I may not hear back from him. But I did. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;So, on another note, the ink is drying on my Korean publishing&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;deal, and in celebration I am offering a 'two-fer' deal: Two Goal&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Digger books for the price of one - both autographed. Go to&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goaldigger.com/"&gt;http://www.goaldigger.com&lt;/a&gt; and enter 'two-fer' or 'two for' - they&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;both work,&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;to get your books TODAY. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Also, email me with questions. And I love your feedback: I read&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;every last one of my emails. Keep them coming....&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Follow me on &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Join my FB page... &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=562050966"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=562050966&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Follow me on Twitter... &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/AliciaDunams"&gt;http://twitter.com/AliciaDunams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Regards and Kindness,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Alicia&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;P.S.

My date with an expat</title><content type='html'>Long P.S.: So I went on a date last night with this American living&lt;br /&gt;in London who is visiting SF for business. Nice chap. Mid-40s, tall,&lt;br /&gt;good-looking with three kids. We had dinner at Water Bar, and the&lt;br /&gt;conversation veered to marriage and kids. I would say it was more&lt;br /&gt;his veering than mine - definitely so. He loved the fact I was a&lt;br /&gt;mother, and went on to ask me those probing questions. You know those&lt;br /&gt;questions - the ones in which you feel you are being sized up for&lt;br /&gt;marriage. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a divorced man and I am a divorced woman. My marriage, which&lt;br /&gt;basically, ended in a "peace out" (how sad is that) had an "easy"&lt;br /&gt;divorce - we had no money and no property. But most divorces I hear&lt;br /&gt;about our long, belabored, and ugly. So, what happens if you are a&lt;br /&gt;woman marrying a divorced man who had one of these long, belabored,&lt;br /&gt;and ugly divorces or vice versa. What are the economic implications??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's where my friend, Adryenn Ashley, comes in. Her book launches&lt;br /&gt;today, and it's all about the economics of divorce and marrying a&lt;br /&gt;divorced man/woman, so check out www.marryingadivorcedman.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.S. I will tell you later what happens between me and the&lt;br /&gt;expat - if anything! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xoxoAlicia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;237 Kearny Street #174, San Francisco, CA 94108, USA&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-5284211002791260686?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/5284211002791260686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=5284211002791260686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/5284211002791260686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/5284211002791260686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2008/07/ps-my-date-with-expat.html' title='P.S.

When I was in Europe,&lt;br /&gt;I let my Korean intern use my car for her driving test. She has an&lt;br /&gt;international driver's license, but she wanted a U.S. driver's&lt;br /&gt;license as a souvenir, so to speak. So, I willingly let her use my&lt;br /&gt;car, and did what I had to do to be the responsible tax-paying&lt;br /&gt;citizen I am, like put her on my insurance, etc. blah, blah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She totaled the car the day I returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor soul, she went down a one way street the wrong way and collided&lt;br /&gt;head-on with another vehicle. Fortunately, everyone walked away&lt;br /&gt;unscathed, except my car, of course. And, needless to say, she&lt;br /&gt;didn't pass her driver's test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, something inside tells me I mentally caused this to happen.&lt;br /&gt;Since March, I have been thinking about going green, and giving up&lt;br /&gt;- gulp! - driving. I was researching ZIP cars and public&lt;br /&gt;transportation, and how much money I would save.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I cause this to happen??!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I don't know about that, but I know this for sure: Some&lt;br /&gt;people may look at this incident as "unfortunate" or&lt;br /&gt;"horrible." My mother, for instance, nearly had kittens (her&lt;br /&gt;favorite saying). But I look at this "challenge" as an opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the opportunity to 1) be green, 2) save money 3) stay&lt;br /&gt;fit w/out going to the gym (The Streets of San Francisco are my&lt;br /&gt;gym!!) and the very best one 4) walk hand and hand with my&lt;br /&gt;daughter as I walk her to summer camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, again you can't control outside circumstances or events, but&lt;br /&gt;you can always control your response. And mine is positive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, back to my intern, there were no hard feelings, of course. I&lt;br /&gt;love my intern, and she was very helpful in facilitating selling&lt;br /&gt;the rights of Goal Digger to a Korean Publisher. So Goal Digger&lt;br /&gt;(www.goaldigger.com) will be translated and distributed throughout&lt;br /&gt;Korea. Wow, fancy that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!!&lt;br /&gt;xoxoxAlicia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;237 Kearny Street #174, San Francisco, CA 94108, USA&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-4500369044519589450?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/4500369044519589450/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=4500369044519589450' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/4500369044519589450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/4500369044519589450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-korean-intern.html' title='My Korean Intern'/><author><name>Alicia Dunams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05155091447765164426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74005584407409860.post-2933879829910439670</id><published>2008-07-28T21:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-28T21:23:01.602-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What's your endgame??</title><content type='html'>It's been quite a while since I wrote a newsletter email, so I&lt;br /&gt;thought it's about time I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just got back from an amazing three weeks in Europe. I take ?&lt;br /&gt;daughter to England every year to visit her grandparents who live&lt;br /&gt;in the English Countryside. While she is visiting them, it gives me&lt;br /&gt;a bit of free time to get some travel and adventure in, so I&lt;br /&gt;visited two cities I've never been before: Prague and Dublin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been known to travel alone, and I travel alone not only for&lt;br /&gt;the sense of adventure and intrigue, but in the hopes to find some&lt;br /&gt;tall European man to fall in love with and live happily ever after&lt;br /&gt;- a la EAT PRAY LOVE. But what usually happens is I find myself&lt;br /&gt;alone in a smoky cafe, people-watching and thinking too much --&lt;br /&gt;thinking about my business, how to retire by age 35, and WHY I am&lt;br /&gt;sitting alone in a smoky cafe people-watching. :) Ha-ha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always wear something distinctly American when I travel - 10&lt;br /&gt;years ago I traveled around the world with my trusty leather cowboy&lt;br /&gt;hat (not really American, as I bought it in Costa Rica!). And now I&lt;br /&gt;wore my favorite pair of roughed-up cowboy boots, aka.&lt;br /&gt;'sh*t-kickers.' I loved the looks I got from international&lt;br /&gt;passer-bys as I tromped through these delicate European cities - I&lt;br /&gt;never know if they are looks of utter disdain or simple admiration -&lt;br /&gt;or something in between. Anyway, the reason I tell you about my&lt;br /&gt;travel tales is that I always find myself MAGNETICALLY CHARGED and&lt;br /&gt;INSPIRED in new environments - I come up with great ideas and&lt;br /&gt;resolutions, and arrive home with an INTENSE sense of ACTION. My&lt;br /&gt;ENDGAME is always clearer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what do I mean my endgame?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Endgame is what you visualize your life to be 1 year from now - 5&lt;br /&gt;years from now - 10 years from now. It's what you want to be, do,&lt;br /&gt;and have. It's being content and grateful for what you have now,&lt;br /&gt;but focusing on something greater for the future. You need an&lt;br /&gt;endgame in order to even THINK about an action plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my endgame is to be retired by the time I'm 35. (Of course, I&lt;br /&gt;will still "work" because I'm an intrepid entrepreneur and I love&lt;br /&gt;the creative process. But my endgame is not having to 'have' to&lt;br /&gt;work at age 35. Big difference!) So let's see what happens -&lt;br /&gt;I have 2 1/2 years to go... On your mark, get set, go...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what's your endgame??? ...because you need to determine THAT&lt;br /&gt;before you determine anything else...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW...&lt;br /&gt;Join my FB page... &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=562050966" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=562050966&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow me on Twitter... &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/AliciaDunams" target="_blank"&gt;http://twitter.com/AliciaDunams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugs,&lt;br /&gt;Alicia&lt;br /&gt;www.goaldigger.com&lt;br /&gt;www.beawealthygirl.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. and BTW - I hope I didn't offend anyone with the term&lt;br /&gt;'sh*t-kickers'... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;237 Kearny Street #174, San Francisco, CA 94108, USA&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-2933879829910439670?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/2933879829910439670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=2933879829910439670' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/2933879829910439670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/2933879829910439670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2008/07/whats-your-endgame.html' title='What&apos;s your endgame??'/><author><name>Alicia Dunams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05155091447765164426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74005584407409860.post-8682742872162888023</id><published>2008-05-11T13:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T13:45:44.355-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;3/3/2008&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From: Alicia  Dunams, Goal Digger&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Hey Girl,&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Would you believe that I’ve been whisked around the world  in private jets by my millionaire boyfriends? &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;It’s true! Some days I would pinch myself to see if I was  dreaming.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It all started when I joined a dating  agency        for millionaires.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.beawealthygirl.com/images/SouthernFrance.jpg" align="right" height="245" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="175" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I was tired of dating hippies and musicians with no aspirations. You know, the kind of guys who can’t commit to a job, much less a woman. I thought perhaps I could fall in love with (and maybe marry) a rich guy. As my mom always said, “It’s just as easy to love a rich man as a poor man.” &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p align="left"&gt;While the more obvious perks of dating millionaires include expensive gifts and fancy dinners in exotic locales, a lesser known (but more valuable) bonus includes...&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Firsthand access to the  “secrets” behind every millionaire’s bank account!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;p align="left"&gt;Over time, I found the millionaire men I was dating to be more fascinating than their riches. They gave me an up-close view of their minds, the way they thought, the secrets to their success, and finally, &lt;u&gt;entrée into  an exclusive club that, for the longest time, has been reserved for men-only.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, it was a completely voyeuristic relationship. I was the outsider looking in; the third wheel simply “along for the ride” with these men and their money. In a sense, I was always the bridesmaid, but never the bride, until one of these millionaires said something that would forever alter how I saw men, money and myself: &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Alicia, you’re industrious enough to be your&lt;br /&gt;     own millionaire…”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;p&gt;It was the lightning spark that turned into a raging forest fire. Why it took a man – a millionaire, no less – to instill in me the confidence I needed to pursue my own financial fantasies, I’ll never know. &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Initially, yes, I did sign up for a dating agency dreaming that it  would be nice to fall in love with a rich man. &lt;u&gt;After a while, though, I  realized it would be easier – and more empowering – to make my own money.&lt;/u&gt; So  I decided to write a book about my experience:&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Goal Digger – Lessons Learned From the&lt;br /&gt;     Rich Men I Dated.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.beawealthygirl.com/images/GoalDigger.jpg" align="left" height="237" hspace="0" width="175" /&gt;It’s a self-help book in every sense of the term. The 13 chapters run the gamut from the metaphysical and the philosophical to the practical and the financial, with a dash of juicy memoir mixed in for good measure. &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Not long after the book launched the letters and emails from women began pouring in. I had no idea that my 247 page “female diary turned financial lesson” would be received so well by so many women. They were learning to visualize success, become fearless, embrace risk, and duplicate everything else millionaires do to make their dreams happen. But that was not enough.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The feedback coming in from women everywhere is&lt;br /&gt;     that they desperately craved &lt;em&gt;MORE&lt;/em&gt;…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;p&gt;M&lt;em&gt;ore&lt;/em&gt; out of life, for starters. But also &lt;em&gt;more &lt;/em&gt;“how to” information on becoming a “Wealthy Girl” like the kind described in my book. These women were looking to me for guidance on how to navigate the new path I had just revealed to them. &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;After weeks of contemplating how I could use my skills and talents to help these women, the answer was finally revealed to me. I envisioned a nationwide event that would get the attention of young women across the country to empower themselves, in a radical fashion, to be the creators of their own success.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More than just an  event, this would be the kick-off&lt;br /&gt;     for a &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;movement&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;that &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;would instill women to&lt;br /&gt;       create wealth in all areas of their life.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Donald Hantula, a psychology professor at Temple University explains: “For the first time in history, women have access to the same resources men have always had – money, social status, power. Women can go and acquire them on their own rather than searching for a mate to provide them. “&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Although  this is true, the problem is that &lt;span class="highlight"&gt;most of the “how to” information on entrepreneurship and wealth building doesn’t address the unique financial challenges that come with being a woman&lt;/span&gt;… because most of them are created by men for other men.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For my event to be a true success I knew it&lt;br /&gt;     would have to meet the unique needs of&lt;br /&gt;     women everywhere.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;p&gt;First  of all, &lt;u class="highlight"&gt;the faculty would have to be 100% female&lt;/u&gt;: women learning at the  feet of other successful women.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Secondly, &lt;u class="highlight"&gt;the event could not interfere with the demands many women have at home&lt;/u&gt;,  so the event must bring the voices of the world-class faculty right into the  homes of the students.&lt;/p&gt;                     &lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="133"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.beawealthygirl.com/images/logo.gif" align="left" height="155" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;         &lt;td valign="middle" width="457"&gt;&lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The result was a “virtual gathering” of 13 of the            brightest             female minds on wealth creation,            entrepreneurship, investing,          and financial  planning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Go to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.beawealthygirl.com/"&gt;www.beawealthygirl.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; to check out the fantastic offers now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td height="15" valign="top" width="457"&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;       &lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;         &lt;td align="center" height="200" valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.beawealthygirl.com/images/Christine.jpg" height="174" width="146" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;         &lt;td valign="top" width="457"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christine    Comaford-Lynch&lt;/strong&gt; has built and sold 5 of her own businesses, consulted with 2 White House administrations and 700 of the Fortune 1000, invested in 200+ startups (including Google) all without a high school diploma or college degree.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;       &lt;/tr&gt;       &lt;tr&gt;         &lt;td height="200" valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.beawealthygirl.com/images/Loral.jpg" height="174" width="146" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;         &lt;td valign="top" width="457"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Loral    Langemeier &lt;/strong&gt;is the author of &lt;em&gt;The Millionaire Maker&lt;/em&gt; book series.

I was so inspired by the speakers that I hired new people to be a part of my work team and made major marketing steps this past week! I was also inspired by your testimony on stepping out on faith and taking bold steps to build your business.  &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;I stepped out on faith this week and set up a business relationship with a business that caters to the same clientele as mine (i.e. they help clients property damage needs after a car accident and I help clients with their personal injury needs.)  The company just launched a $30,000 marketing campaign and has three locations in northern California. On Wednesday, I called the store manager and proposed that I be their legal advisor for all clients that are injured in their accidents. I am the only personal injury lawyer that has ever approached this company and set up this relationship.  As the company's new legal advisor, I'm going to benefit from all the business they receive from clients that have been injured in their car accidents.  &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Thanks for setting  up the Wealthy Girl Summit and writing such an aspiring book. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;blockquote&gt;         &lt;p align="left"&gt;- Bianca E., Lawyer&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;/blockquote&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;                                                     &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I want the information presented at The Wealthy Girl Summit to  be accessible to women everywhere…&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;u&gt;So I’m making the recordings available at a&lt;br /&gt;           fraction of the cost of the event!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Go to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.beawealthygirl.com/"&gt;www.beawealthygirl.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; to check out the fantastic offers now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74005584407409860-8682742872162888023?l=beawealthygirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/feeds/8682742872162888023/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=74005584407409860&amp;postID=8682742872162888023' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/8682742872162888023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/74005584407409860/posts/default/8682742872162888023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beawealthygirl.blogspot.com/2008/05/332008-from-alicia-dunams-goal-digger.html' title=''/><author><name>Alicia Dunams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05155091447765164426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
