Answer 1

Answer:

There’s a popular saying in the world of success that goes a something like this…

“Your network determines your net worth.”

Is that true?

Not 100%.

There’s more at play.

But I’ll say that the better your network is, the higher your net worth is likely to be.

Its not just about net worth. It’s about elevating yourself by surrounding yourself with better people.

I just spoke at an event where everyone in the group paid $50,000 a year to be there.

Those people were all high level people.

I don’t really believe in short cuts…but if I did…the shortcut would be to have a better network. (I hate the word networking btw.)

If you want to upgrade your network and hang out with high level people that are looking to improve their lives then I recommend you come to the Almost Passive Income LIVE event.

Interested in attending?

The event will be 2 days. (With a 3rd day for VIPs...which you'll learn about if you buy a ticket.)

It'll be in-person AND virtual. So you can attend if you're living in America or even if you're locked down in Australia. (This is a different event from the events at my house.)

It will take place in downtown Boise. Over the two days we're gonna cover 3 primary areas:

1. Your emotional and mental relationship to money. AKA your money blocks.

2. We'll do a session on email marketing. And a meetup for business owners to hire email marketers.

3. The second day will be focused on ONE core idea - how to make $100,000 a month in ALMOST Passive Income (API). Doesn't matter if you're just trying to make your first $1,000 in API or you wanna go from $50,000 to $100,000 a month.

We have a couple of amazing expert guests coming in on Saturday to teach you different ways to create API.

On top of that we'll have a stand up comedy show and party on one of the nights as well...that'll be free to all attendees.

We don't have the exact hotel or event location locked down yet but will share those details as we sort them out.

The event will be $500 per ticket...however...since this is our first event for Almost Passive Income we've decided to do something interesting...

For the first 100 people who buy a ticket it’s only $300.

After the first 100 people we will raise the price $25 for every 25 people who buy until the price

P.S. We already sold 88 tickets since I last checked so move quickly if you want the special deal :)

Answer 2

Answer:

To call an American writer a master of the short story can be taken at best as faint praise, or at worst as an insult, akin to singling out an ambitious novelist’s journalism or, God forbid, criticism as her most notable accomplishment. The short story often looks like a minor or even vestigial literary form, redolent of M.F.A.-mill make-work and artistic caution. A good story may survive as classroom fodder or be appreciated as an interesting exercise, an étude rather than a sonata or a symphony.

A young writer who turns up at the office of an editor or literary agent with a volume of stories is all but guaranteed a chilly, pitying welcome. That kind of thing is just not commercial. Contrary examples like Raymond Carver, who wrote almost no piece of fiction longer than a dozen pages, tend to confirm the rule. Carver, who died too young in 1988, was praised for his reticence and verbal thrift. He was a great miniaturist whose work grew in an anxious, straitened era, whose virtues lay in going small and staying home. But the conventional wisdom in American letters has always been that size matters, that the big-game hunters and heavyweight fighters take your pick of Hemingway-Mailer macho sports metaphors go after

the Great American Novel.

I hope this helps you... frnda...
