Taking the first swing

So, up to this point you have stabilized your home, prioritized your bills, learned to do a budget, reflected on yourself internally, and now you are ready to take the first swing.  If you are scared, I understand.  Why would you bother…

I shared this last year at Christmas time, but we've grown so much. I thought it would be nice for our old and new members can enjoy! Maybe this will become annual tradition. Enjoy...and Bee Merry this Christmas!

If you're looking for that little something extra, a gift that won't blow your budget, but you can't put your finger on it type gift, here it is!...You'll need a small empty box, small enough to fit into a desk or night stand drawer...And you'll need a length of ribbon to tie around the box...You are making a Hugs Gift Box...Type out the verse that follows on a piece of paper, cut it to…

It’s Not a Bad Job, But I Feel Like There’s Something More…



That’s what he told me.



He’s got a good job, he’s making decent money, and he’s been promoted a few times.



But…there’s something missing. I feel like God has something more for me.



It’s comments from a new…

I have had so many amazing wishes for my birthday today.  Friends and family have called, texted, emailed, sent cards, gifts, letters.  It is wonderful to be remembered no matter how old you get.  And for all of you who have asked.....the trip to Chicago was one of the best ever.  Dan and I relaxed and rested and just had a great time.  My favorite gift was the joy of seeing huge snowflakes falling as I walked down State Street watching the incredible Christmas light display mingled with the…

I’ve received a lot of request from folks requesting information on how I’ve managed to build an audience on Facebook rather quickly.  (In around 10 months as of December 2010)  So…… instead of continually having to go back through old emails and “cut and paste” information to send to a number of people on 48days.net (as well as a number of email…

I have started a business.  Something I am passionate about and something I would love to do for fun, but not something I see myself turning into a good income source.  Dan's podcast from last week hit on something very important to me and that is to start seeing an income within 3-6 months that could transition myself from "traditional work" to non-traditional work."  With the business I have started, I am not seeing that happen for myself within 3-6 months as I originally had…

The Christmas season is a time when we see Poinsettias everywhere for decoration...If you plan to give a Poinsettia plant as a gift, take into consideration if the household has children/pets and please purchase a good quality, real looking artificial plant that can be reused for years to come...With a home that has children/pets, live plants any time of the year may create a hazard so…

Justin Lukasavige and I are teaching a Free Agent Academy class this evening on how to get "free publicity". Click the link to participate online.

Send us your questions and we will answer them during the tele-class.

My wife and I just about fell off the couch laughing when we saw this poster. And, frankly, I just wanted to share it to bring a smile to your face.



Then, I remembered this line from the song “How He Loves” by the David Crowder Band:

"I don't have time to maintain these regrets..."

And I thought, what regrets am I maintaining? Unfortunately, the answer is quite a few. Though, I must say, I’ve always thought people who claim…
