Re: [ET2] Intro & Prosperity

Hello all!

I'm new to this group and just decided to read the archives to
familiarize myself with this group.

This message particularly got my attention as I think I'm not in my
business to make money, but to satisfy some needs and as you can
guess I'm not making a fortune. I make enough to live and then I just
do what's satisfying my needs of creativity and accomplishment and
all.

Having said that, where do I go from there? How do I make money and
fill my needs and have fun at the same time?

I know how to use EFT, NLP, and PS. Don't know enough about Emotrance
yet, it's on my list.

Do you have any idea of where to start?

Thanks!
