Heading for Bali…

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — Ben @ 1:19 am

Hey fans, family and friends. We are in the Priority Pass lounge of KL airport, waiting to board for Bali. This lounge is much better than the equivalent at Heathrow and has a mini-golf hole, massage, showers and better food.

We had a fantastic time at the Traders Hotel in KL, with amazing views of the Twin Towers, a great roof-top swimming pool and spa area and food available all day in the Traders Lounge. For just over 60 quid a night, we really can’t complain.

KL is a lovely place, and we had just about the right amount of time there. With 7 Ringgits to the pound, we had great buying power. For example, dinner for only 6 quid at times, and a full afternoon private guided tour for under 15 quid.

We have some lovely photos, and no time to upload them at the moment. Save to say you’ll all be subjected… erm I mean treated… to them when we get back.

With love, keep healthy and think positively.

Alive and kicking on our honeymoon

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — Ben @ 12:04 pm

Immediately after the wedding an elite squad of family and friends had a wonderful lunch in Chelmsford, a far cry from Leez Priory - although enjoyable nonetheless.

Made our way to Heathrow painlessly, and were delighted to be upgraded to The Sandhurst Suite at the beautiful Radisson Edwardian hotel. Three rooms of luxury for under 120 quid, can’t be bad!

The 13 hour flight to Kuala Lumpur was comfortable. On arrival we were accosted by hoards of taxi drivers trying to sell us cab rides! Got airport endorsed taxi driver, who had no concept of stopping distances or lane divisions – Lizzie feared for her life and was so knackered by then that she still managed to sleep!

We got to our beautiful hotel in KL, and we thought the Radission was great! This beauty has a swimming pool on the roof, and overlooks the Petronas Twin Towers. We even get a lounge with free food all day, so stocked up on sushi & miso soup, then dozed by the pool.

Lizzie slept, Ben had a full-body massage. Went for a wander around the park at the bottom of the hotel, admiring the tropical plants & Malaysian sparrows, stopped by a shopping centre that could have been anywhere in London, Paris or the US, apart from the large quantities of sushi.

Feel free to comment, we may upload photos later in the holiday if we can be bothered with the technology.

Be good :-)

WealthDyamics Profiles can help you know yourself…

Filed under: Self development — Tags: , , , , , — Ben @ 11:01 am

Over a year ago I took a Wealth Dynamics Profile, and I have found it incredibly helpful in helping me to know where to focus my talents and efforts, in the context of wealth generation.

Wealth Dynamics was developed by Roger Hamilton, a British born Entrepreneur. It basically tests for any deviation for normal balance in your thinking style, by measuring two dimensions…

  • Sensory vs intuitive thinking
  • Introvert vs extrovert thinking style.

This test runs on the same basis as DISC, Briggs, Belbin and other Jung based systems. I find Wealth Dynamics to be particularly powerful in terms of its output – see my profile as an example.

I feel that, if you’re the sort of person who applies what they learn, spending $US 100 on this knowledge is an excellent investment. I have attached an example of my Wealth Dynamics Profile, so that you can see the sort of output you get for your money.

Simply visit www.wealthdynamicsprofiles.com if you’d like to take your profile now.

Until next time
