Sometimes I come across things that I think are Super Interesting, but they don’t necessarily fit in with productivity, technology, or business development.
Here are things I found super interesting this week:
Debt Increases Young Peoples Morale
Researchers analyzed ongoing national survey data on 3,000 young Americans. The questions covered student loans and credit card debt, as well as some designed to measure the respondents’ self-esteem and sense of control over their lives
It looks like young people , in their early to mid-20s, like debt. All that debt actually seems to boost their self-esteem—possibly because they consider that debt an investment in their future. So says a study in the journal Social Science Research.
Americans’ Main Regrets Are Lack Of Romantic Relationships, Higher Education
On a survey, what regrets do we have the most?
America’s most common – focused on lost chances for potential romances, and relationships that did not live up to their potential.
Looks like eHarmony and Match.com are good business models.

No Affiliate Marketing if you live in Connecticut
Affiliate marketing is a way many internet marketers make their money online. I do.

"If you aren't getting Darin's daily email, you are missing out." -- Chris Smith, Inman News Chief Evangelist
I wanted to start to build a team and with Darin's coaching I have added 2 full
time buyers agents and a virtual assistant. We are getting so organized
and now I am able to prospect for listings like I should have been doing
before.
Darin is a KICK ASS coach, motivator and a genius. Yes, he has a mind that is incredible.
I feel that Darin is vested in my success both personally and professionally. He is a dear friend and I am excited we are now partners.

“Have I told you lately that you’re the greatest thing since sliced cheese? And that at least every other day Matt and I tell each other out loud about how grateful we are to have found you?
You’re a true blessing and are helping us like no other coach to make impactful changes within our business, at a pace that makes sense. And you ‘GET’ technology, too! Coach D, you’re a dream come true. “

"I have been working with Darin for 10 weeks now, I was looking for a way to take my business to another level going into my second full year of real estate. I closed 32 deals in 2011 and so far with the help, guidance and motivation I am on pace to double my transactions in 2012. The most exciting part about working with Darin is I am able to increase my production without adding hours to my week, Darin has taught me how to leverage my time and use it more efficiently. If you are serious about taking your real estate career to a new level, it is a MUST to start working with Darin Persinger as soon as you possibly can." - Ryan Shields
