Hi Everyone!
Summer is almost over. It sure went fast. It's a bit sad but at the same time there's excitement in the air as that familiar "Back-to-School" feeling sets in.
After a restful few months, I'm looking forward to a busy Fall, including getting ready for my upcoming speaking engagements (details below). If I happen to be in your city, I hope you'll come by and say hello!
I’ll be in Vegas, Tucson and Scottsdale this month speaking at The Automatic Millionaire Conference. Registration is available online but seating is limited so register today!
September 7, 2006 Las Vegas, NV

What would you say if I told you that in the next few minutes you could save between $500 and $1,000 on your car insurance?
You'd probably tell me I was wrong. That's what my assistant, Liz, said when she was looking over my shoulder as I wrote this article for my Yahoo! column. "OK," I said. "You'll be the test case. Follow my tips and tell me what you find."
Just 10 minutes later, she told me she'd saved $800 on what she was currently paying -- for identical coverage. Read on to find out how she did it by clicking here.
Last month, I also wrote a column called "Five Steps to Getting a Bigger Raise." I've had a lot of people stop me on the street this summer to talk about that article.
The feedback (both good and bad) has been incredible. One woman named Barbara told me that she literally followed the steps to the letter and was able to increase her income by nearly 50 percent.
She had a meeting with her boss that lasted less than an hour, and after laying out her reasons for feeling she deserved a raise and adding a specific dollar amount to her request, her boss said "yes"! She was shocked, thrilled -- and mad, because she regretted not meeting with her boss sooner.
I had the opposite experience with a gentleman named Fred. Fred noticed me in a New York airport and proceeded to tell me I was "outta touch with reality." He said, "David, my boss is never going to give me a raise. I work for a jerk, the company is poorly run, and they don't care about their employees. So what do you think about that?"
My response was simple -- "quit." Fred didn't like my response, and that reminded me that often, what we know we need to do is sometimes the hardest thing to actually do.
