Brain Vomit Questions

  • Define your nightmare, the absolute worst that could happen if you did what you are considering.
  • What steps you could take to repair the damage in advance?
  • What are the outcomes of more probable scenarios?
  • If you were fired from your job today, what would you do to get things under financial control?
  • What you are putting off out of fear (that one call, conversation, action)?
  • What is it costing you to postpone action?
  • What are you waiting for?

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
