    Hypnotherapy

    All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. It is not possible to be hypnotised unless you are fully willing. A better term for it is self-suggestion, this doesn't conjure up images of a man with spinning eyes, swinging a pendant in your face. It is just suggestion, but suggestion can be a powerful...

    Bill Gates to retire...

    Thinking of buying a business

    Be sure to take a look at the detailed accounts covering a period of a few years. The gross profit means very little on its own. The net profit could be just £20K for all we know.

    Crimewatch and Chinese people

    Credit Card Fraud - never thought it would happen to me

    extra income schemes?

    The only legal way to get rich is sustained hard graft over a long period of time. Work for yourself and work like a slave and you will make a million eventually. Give it 5 to 10 years.
