- Inspiring others to assist you in fulfilling your vision instead of doing all the hard yards yourself
- Overcoming masculine habits that are exhausting you and keeping you down
- Attracting the kind of men you want, while not compromising your values or giving up on your dreams

a question…
Does anyone know where the saying “you must have killed a china-man” comes from? Is it an Australian thing? It’s a bit weird. I’m intrigued do other countries have different sayings for “gee you’re having a run of bad luck at the moment!”? (That’s what our very odd saying translates as I think!) I would like to compile a list!

Something for all entrepreneurs to think about (and those that criticise them)
Greg sent me through this from a newsletter he recieved. It hit a chord… Enjoy!
THE TRUTH ABOUT TAXES
This anecdote has appeared in a previous newsletter, but with the elections coming up I thought it was appropriate to include it again.
It purports to come from a lecture by a college professor in the USA.
Every time the government cuts taxes you hear the cry “It’s just a tax cut for the rich!”, and it is accepted as fact. But what does that really mean?
The following explanation may help.
Suppose that every night, 10 men go out for dinner at a bistro. The bill for all 10 comes to $100. They decided to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, and it went like this:
* The first four men (the poorest) paid nothing.
* The fifth paid $1.
* The sixth $3.
* The seventh $7.
* The eighth $12.
* The ninth $18.
* The tenth man (the richest) paid $59.
All 10 were quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner
said:
“Since you are all such good customers, I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20.”
So now dinner for the 10 only cost $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.
The first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free.
But how should the other six, the paying customers, divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his “fair share”?
They realised that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth and sixth men would each end up being paid to eat. The restaurateur suggested reducing each man’s bill by roughly the same percentage, thus:
* The fifth man paid nothing (like the first four) instead of $1 (100%saving).
* The sixth paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
* The seventh paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
* The eighth paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
* The ninth paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
* The tenth paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).
Each of the six was better off, and the first four continued to eat for free, as now did the fifth - but outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
“I only got a dollar out of the $20,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man “but he got $10!”
“That’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too.
It’s unfair that he got ten times more than me!”
“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for dinner. The nine sat down and ate without him, but when they came to pay the bill, they discovered that they didn’t have enough money between all of them to meet even half of the bill!
That, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore.
