Russian Wall Street Journal, Despair Poster

I was recently published in the Russian Wall Street Journal/Financial Times publication called Vedemosti. The reporter who did the interview, Victorya, was kind enough to send me a physical copy of the newspaper I was in:


The problem is, I have NO CLUE what it says about me! Everything is in Russian. On the other hand, I am extremely facinated by seeing my picture and not being able to read what the text says.


I will probably frame this article just for its conversation starter appeal.
I'll also at some point translate the interview. I know the guy who writes HowToBePoor speaks Russian.


*Update: The article was translated for me.
----------------------------

A website I've liked for some time now is Despair Inc. They sell demotivational stuff, which I think is absolutely hilarious and brilliant.

I recently bought this poster to hang over my VoIP phone which I use mainly for business purposes. The poster is so absurd that it makes me want to do the opposite.


Surprisingly, the package the poster came in was from an Austin address not very far from where I live. I'll probably swing by their office to see what goes on there, just purely out of curiosity.

Congrats on the plug in Russian. It certainly will be a conversation starter.

Nev, I've translated the article from Russian and posted it on my blog because I wasn't sure of Blogger's limitations on number of characters.

Check it out.

Congrats on your international acclaim. You may also be interested (or at least curious) in Debt Elimination using Personal Fiscal Trainers as a business.

You may have already heard about various accelerated debt reduction techniques and strategies. The www.go2self.org/stop site offers a step by step training program with the option of getting a proposal before subscribing to the training. There is a fee for the training but the final cost is guaranteed to be zero, nothing, nada.

The ‘new’ accelerated debt reduction technique is also a bill paying method that has aided 100’s of people by independent agents in face to face presentations and subscriber services (view the Case Studies). Training is now available by e-learning using MOODLE to either self-train to develop at your own pace or with the aid of ‘personal trainers’ to quick start the learning, training and method application process.

Training occurs in stages to accommodate the various levels of subscriber needs and wants however the subscriber may choose to enter any training level without the need of prerequisites. The training program also provides written guarantees to match the level of training.

Training stages are:
Pocket - training helps subscribers understand budgeting to pay bills on time, keep control of cash, design and apply a biweekly payment plan to a target debt.
Premium – training develops a systematic payment shifting plan that reserves the payment amounts used for debt service until debts are eliminated and demonstrates the most effective use of credit cards by timing purchases.
Professional - training is the application of the Systematic Expansion of Leveraged Financing method.

Yahoo or Google ‘unlending’ to get to the SELF Management site www.go2self.org.

That's hilarious. You'll probably have a huge Russian following now. Maybe you should sell your pixels in dollars and rubles.

Congrats!

I think it should be fascinated though, not facinated. :)

I'd just assume put a babe poster up. Perhaps a door size Vanna White or Kim Basinger.
