Through a series of adventures and misadventures, David and I have got to the stage where we are now more or less making a living from property and related activities, and are setting our plans for 2013. Ok, so the belt may be a little tighter than we’d like and we have not yet reached the inspirational heights of owning a villa in the sun, flash car or being able to jet off anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice.

Not that the flash car really appeals these days. Must be a sign of age. A villa in the sun on the other hand … now that’s much more appealing. Particularly given the weather we’ve had in this corner of Wales recently.

Breaking the Barrier

So this year, we are committed to loosening the belt rather than tightening it, and breaking through the income barrier that seems to have been static for many years, regardless of what we do.

Towards the end of last year, when I realised that we had some sort of block going on, be it financial, physical or metaphysical or whatever you believe, I gave myself a daily ‘kick up the rear end’, immersing myself in positive reading or listening for an hour every day. Try it some time; it makes a tremendous difference to your outlook on life.

So I start this year with a determination – resolution if you prefer – to break through that income barrier.
