Good day! I hope your 2nd week of 2016 was swell. Here’s what I’m digging this week: THOUGHT I was contemplating the chances of winning that huge Powerball, and the odds were pretty darn slim. I didn’t buy a ticket. But then I remembered a thought that I’ve had at various times since I was ten or eleven years old: what are the odds of me being born?

So, I created a mini-series with some strategies that can help you right away. Drop in your email address and watch the videos here:…
