From the Publisher
Warmest greetings from the Up-Mobile team! We continue in this issue with the theme: Attitude. We have received positive feedback on the new format of our articles. A million thanks to those of you who sent in encouragement, contributions and constructive criticism!
Several subscription and coaching requests have come in from outside Nigeria. The feedback from abroad is surprisingly positive. We are glad that people beyond our shores are being helped by this ezine. We are happy to be a blessing to so wide and varied an audience. Please keep spreading the word!
Quite a few copies of Four Steps to Success have been sent out. Remember, we are only giving out 100 copies. Please do not forget to give us feedback when you have read the booklet; you can see the feedback questions at the end. We would really appreciate this as it will help us package the material as part of an e-book for you, later this year. Also remember, you can avail yourself of free coaching on completing the book. A coach could help you clarify what you really want in life. Sometimes we think we want something, but deep down inside we really do not. For this underlying reason, such goals continue to elude us. A coach can help you find out what you really want, map out strategies to get it, and then keep it. So, order your copy of the booklet today, and then consider coaching.
This issue carries an article on your attitude towards money, and how this affects your finances. We find that many Nigerians have an unwholesome money attitude, and a wrong impression of how to build wealth. While we cannot correct this with one article, we do hope that we can help foster a new perspective. Please tell us what you think of our articles. It will help us give you information you can use. And it is all for free! We also feature tips for getting more money. Simple though these may seem, please do not despise them. They are tried and tested tips. Remember, wisdom is often hidden in simplicity. Be sure to read the What’s New? section for some news.
Enjoy this 6th issue, and please keep the feedback coming. You are the reason for this ezine, and always will be.
Do all you dare in the next two weeks!
Serving with pleasure,
Oma Edoja,Editor/Publisher, Up-Mobile E-zine,http://up-mobile.blogspot.com

Motivational Article (1)
Your Attitude and your Money by Oma Edoja
With regard to money, what do you think and expect?
-To never have enough?-To have to borrow?-That it will never come to you?-That you are not capable of earning enough?-You have to do criminal things to be rich?-Godly people cannot have money?-There is none in this country; you have to leave for “greener pastures?”
Brian Tracy says, “When you confidently expect good things to happen, good things usually happen to you. If you expect negative things to happen to you, you are usually not disappointed.” Your situations mirror back to you what you expect. If your expectations and attitude toward money are negative, you will have an unpleasant money situation. The opposite is also the case.

Quick Tips and Ideas
Three Tips for Getting More Money by Oma Edoja
• Practice good stewardship. You are not the owner of the resources in your care. You met them here on the earth, and you will leave them behind. You are merely a steward of God’s wealth. A steward is one who manages another’s property on his behalf. A good steward increases wealth and multiplies his resources on behalf of the owner. He is skilled and businesslike in handling money. Whether great or small, a good steward will handle money well, and multiply it. A bad steward on the other hand, expends whatever money comes his way, often having nothing left. He frequently goes into debt, further decreasing his net worth. What kind of steward have you been? Identify ways that you can be a better steward of what you have. Get started with good stewardship today. Till you learn to manage the resources you have, an increased income will do you no good; you will only fritter it away. This is why some people never progress financially. Money only goes where it is well managed.

Where Does Your Money Go? By Oma Edoja
Did you ever hear the nursery rhyme where Mary, Quite Contrary was asked, “How does your garden grow?” Well if she were around today her accountant would probably be asking her, “Where does your money go?”
Perhaps you ask yourself the same question, month after month.And if you are like most people, you have no definite answer. You are not alone; there is a world-wide club of others just like you, whose salaries are “too short” and whose months are “too long”! (I almost said, “Welcome to the club!”)

More Tips to End Junk Mail

More on junk mail. These helpful tips are from the Washington Post
Junk mail is a triple threat: It tries your patience, jeopardizes your identity and spoils the environment. But without too much effort, you can give yourself peace of mind and an uncluttered mailbox.
Register with the Direct Marketing Association to remove your name from its national mailing list. The service is free if you register online, or $1 by mail.
Reject preapproved offers from credit card companies by visiting http://https://www.optoutprescreen.com or calling 888-567-8688.
Sign up free at http://www.catalogchoice.org, and the site will do the grunt work to get you off mailing lists for catalogues you don't want.
Pay a $20 annual fee, and GreenDimes will remove your name from catalogue and other direct-mail lists, plus plant up to 10 trees.
For $41, 41pounds.org -- named for the weight in junk mail the average adult receives each year -- will contact several dozen direct-mail companies on your behalf. In addition, $15 of your fee goes to your choice among the group's nonprofit affiliates.
