New Book - Women Like It Both Ways

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:05:37 -0700

I'm please to announce an exciting new book for the men that are dealing with hair loss. Women Like It Both Ways: A Hairy Story by Christopher Sutton is an amazing book that follows Christopher's journey with hair loss and how he became a better man without hair.

If you, or someone you know, are dealing with hair loss, then you should pick this book up today!

About the book:

When great things happen to me I have always liked to give back. Shaving my head and never having to worry about my hair again was one of the greatest things that has happened to me, so one day before starting my daily meditation I asked myself the question What can I do to give back? The answer came during my meditation write a book about the emotional trauma you went through when losing your hair.

I had never written a book before, and quite honestly, writing has always been one of my biggest challenges because I am dyslexic. However, since this message had been so compelling, I decided to go the bookstore and pick up a book about writing. The title of the book I picked was If You Can Speak You Can Write. I knew I could speak, so I took on the challenge and started writing. I wrote and rewrote, wrote and rewrote until I finally felt that the book was at a point were I could present it to an editor without being embarrassed.

I am now sitting here with a finished copy of the book, and it feels great! I hope my book will become everything I wanted it to be for you or someone you know.

Here's what John Elway, former QB for the Denver Broncos, had to say about Christopher and Women Like It Both Ways:

"Having known Christopher since high school during his 'big hair' days, and now as a friend I call 'Gandhi', it was fascinating to read what he went through to get to where he is today. It's a great reminder to us all that the most important thing is what's in our hearts, not on our head. I guess we need to accept the fact that sometimes in the game of life there are no comebacks in relation to your hair." John Elway

Sly Bald Guys Stimulus Plan - Find Your Passions

Over the next couple of days I will make some posts about how to make money on the Internet. Before I start getting into the details on what you need to do to make money, there's a very important step that you need to take. You need to list all of your passions.

Before you can even think of making money on the Internet or anywhere for that matter, you need to find out what you are passionate about. You can be passionate about a sport, product, animal, food, routine, person, idea, or whatever. Take out a piece of paper or open Notepad on your computer and start making a list of things you really enjoy doing or things you really like.

Once you have your list, prioritize that list by placing 1 next to the thing you are most passionate about, 2 next to the next most passionate thing, and so on. Be honest. It's going to take some work to make money and having passion will help you make it through the tough things you'll need to accomplish.

Keep that list handy. Tomorrow I'll post your first step in making money on the internet.

Unleash The Warrior Within

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:49:00 -0700

I recently finished the book Unleash The Warrior Within by Richard "Mack" Machowicz and I have to say that I recommend the book to anyone that is interested in learning techniques for success and achieving goals. Many of you probably know Mack as host of the TV show Future Weapons. If so, you know that Mack is a former Navy Seal.

I have to admit that I was surprised that Mack wrote a book on achieving success, but after reading it, I now know why he did. The Navy Seals spare no expense in training their men in a myriad of skills to make them successful in their missions. After all, failure to succeed for a Seal often means death. Mack used the principles that he learned in the Seals and in his life and translated them into an easy to follow and powerful guide for his readers.

This book does not have the usual fluff that you get in many success related books. Instead, Mack gets right down to business and provides you with a seven step process to follow. This is definitely a book that you should have on your book shelf, but if you don't believe me, head over to Amazon.com and read the 82 reviews that average nearly 5 out of 5 stars.

How to build confidence - Take Control

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:46:48 -0700

When a guy loses his hair, he often gets obsessed with the fact that there is little or nothing he can do to actually stop or reverse the hair loss. This lack of control over his own body can really add to the group of things that start to break down his confidence. Its my belief that the feeling of losing control is one of the primary reasons that a man loses his confidence.

The second reason many guys start to lose their confidence is that they progress from not being able to do anything about their hair loss into asking themselves unanswerable questions like, Will people still find me attractive or approve of me? This is especially hard for younger guys in their late teens and early twenties because they have yet to find that person whom has proven that they love them for who they are, not what they look like. Though, this can still cause a problem for older men who think that hair loss might hurt their career or social life.

How can you take control? Its actually really easy and only takes about 20 minutes. Shave your head! Dont buzz it, shave it! Honestly, this is the best answer that Ive found and Ive talked to thousands of guys about their hair loss.

Why does shaving your head work? The act of getting rid of your hair is a very liberating feeling. Your head will feel a bit numb and with your bare scalp showing, your hair loss will be virtually invisible. Head shaving also works because it shows people that you are taking control of the situation and not letting it bug you.

The act of shaving your head, by itself can turn your confidence around. This is the first step to having your confidence back in 30 days.

You might be saying to yourself, Whoa, I dont know if I can do something that drastic! What will people think? What if I cut myself? What if I dont have the right shaped head? Or even a host of other questions. I can assure you that Ive heard them all! The main thing that 99% of guys say after getting over these questions is Why didnt I do this sooner? But to provide a little more help with these questions, Ill answer the most common questions.

What will people think? Im not going to lie to you and tell you that everyone will instantly love you with a shaved head. Actually, the most opposition I hear of is from parents and spouses. But, rarely do friends and co-workers oppose to a guy shaving his head. Actually, almost all the guys I talk to report positive feedback from most everyone.

So what about the parents and spouse? Your parents and spouse want whats best for you, so if they dont like it in the beginning, then eventually they will see how happy it makes you and will realize it is the best thing for you. Give it time.

What if I dont have a good head shape? This is probably the second most common question I hear and the answer is simple. Everyone has a great shaped head for head shaving. Rarely is there a perfect head but the beautiful thing is that people dont look that closely at you do see if you have a perfect head shape or not especially when youre standing there with confidence. They are too busy trying to figure out how to get some of your confidence or get you to like them.

What will women think? I can tell you that women prefer a guy with a shaved head over a guy with patchy hair or a big bald spot. Even more than this, they prefer a guy with confidence. So, when you shave your head and start to get confidence back, youll start to see women becoming more and more attracted to you.

What will people at work think? Its a non-issue. They rarely notice or say anything unless you bring it up yourself. They are too busy worried about them to care if you shaved your head. If they do notice, its almost always a positive reaction.

Shave your head for 30 days straight and you will see an amazing transformation!

The Tax Game - Why The Rich Get More Taxes Back Than You Do

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 12:26:39 -0700

I just got back from meeting with my tax accountant to have my taxes done. Every year I meet with him he talks to me about how to play the "tax game" a little better each year. The one thing that he always reminds me is that there are two types of forms that are provided to list the things that you can deduct or "write off," a Schedule A and a Schedule C.

The typical American person or family will use the Schedule A to list deductions such as Medical Expenses, Other Taxes Paid, Mortgage Interest, Charitable Deductions, etc. It is good to have items to list on the Schedule A as it does lower your adjusted gross income (also known as the amount you get taxed on) but, it's not as good as having things to list on the Schedule C. Here's why:

A Schedule C allows you to write off any business expenses that you have accrued throughout the year. Things like Advertising and Marketing costs, Automobile Expense, Rent, Utilities, Insurance, and most other expenses that have to do with a business. How is having these things better? Without getting into the math, having Schedule C expenses write your income down quicker than having Schedule A expenses. For example, having $5,000 in Schedule C expenses will decrease your adjusted gross income by almost $5,000, close to dollar for dollar. Having $5,000 in Mortage Interest may only write your adjusted gross income down by $2,000 depending on your tax bracket. Remember, the goal is to LOWER your adjusted gross income as far as you can.

You may have noticed a couple of the items in the list of things on the Schedule C that you pay on a monthly basis, but don't get to write off; things like Automobile Costs, Rent, and Utilities. Yep, the people that own businesses can actually write off things like their Internet Access, Electrical Bill, Rent, and any miles they put on their car due to business and in 2007 that was 48.5 cents per mile or $48.50 for every 100 miles you drive. That's right, people are actually writing off the things that people like you use everyday just because they own a business.

If you're not happy with your tax return, or having to pay this year, then consider starting a business of some kind. It doesn't have to be a fancy busines that cost a ton of money to start up. Here's a list of 10 Legitimate Business that you can start for $20 - http://entrepreneurs.about.com/cs/businessideas/a/10startupideas.htm

Obviously, I'm not an attorney or a CPA, so don't take my word for this. Contract a tax accountant or tax attorney and find out how to play the "tax game" to your best advantage.

The 15 most badass bald guys - DoubleViking.com

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:27:29 -0700

Today, one of our forum members submited a link to a post at DoubleViking.com that outlines their thoughts on the 15 most badass bald guys. All of the badasses that they outline are really characters from movies, tv, or video games. Guys like John McClane, Riddick, Agent 47, Kane, and others (to view the entire list, go to http://www.doubleviking.com/bullet-points-the-15-most-badass-bald-guys-7575-p.html). They also include a video or picture of each guy that they outline along with a funny little bit on why each guy is a badass. Here's what they say about John McClane:

"In the first Die Hard, he had some hair. In the second, he had a
little less. In the third, his hair seemed to be making a beeline for
the back of his skull, and the fourth it was gone altogether. He is
John McClane, and his head is far too badass to tolerate simple hair
follicles."

I'm always glad to see sites (especially big ones like DoubleViking.com) to put bald guys in a positive light. Can anyone think of more badass bald guys that weren't listed?
