I’m rushing around on a Friday like it’s Monday morning. How did my week disappear? It can’t be Friday already. There’s still have so, so, so much to do.
As you’ve noticed, the site’s had some heavy machinery laying around lately. Kathleen’s busy creating a fresh, Stacky new look to our basement publication. Mom thinks some day we might even appear to be professional. That’d surprise her (and us). It’s exciting to bring you so many ideas each week (this will be post nine for this week!), plus a renewed energy on our Facebook page, more Twitter content, more giveaways from Doug….it’s been really fun….which brings me to today’s thought.
When is the last time you decided to change directions? ….to chart a new course? To decide that something which you’ve always found “scary” or “out of reach” was really the best way to go? Today I want to highlight some friends who have pushed the fear envelope away….either for themselves or for other people around them. Let’s walk around the virtual neighborhood, shall we?
Shannon at The Heavy Purse tackles one of my favorite topics….How To Break the Money Taboo Cycle. We’re afraid to talk about money, aren’t we? (Professionally, I’m also jealous….Shannon’s tackling video! I need to do that, too….)
Our friend MMD has a new eBook out, Save Better! Talk about pushing away fear. He’s teaching secrets of the wealthy to help people save more money. Many wealthy people became wealthy specifically because they were willing to try something new….or to change before they needed to change.
Kyle over at The Penny Hoarder shares 32 Legitimate Ways to Make Money At Home. I can’t wait to read the list of 47 illegitimate ways to make money. Will this be a series? (Seriously, the first suggestion….switching to Bing, was easy and I now score free movie tickets every month for doing…nothing that I hadn’t already been doing.)
If making money at home isn’t enough and you’re looking for entrepreneurship, try following these 5 tips to turn your hobby into a business from YFS Magazine.
People are always afraid of investing at market highs. Graham at Moneystepper explains why the market really may not be as high as you think it is on the latest episode of the Moneystepper podcast.
Here’s something silly. A guy whom I think is really smart, James Altucher, says you shouldn’t invest in your 401k. In the video he begins by stating you can’t get at your money until age 65….which shows how little he knows about this topic. Sigh.
I know many people who fear looking at their credit score. Well, at the very least you shouldn’t fear paying for it. Paula Pant teaches you how to just hack it.
Speaking of hacking it….we’re in the middle of hacking our new logo. Want to weigh in? Check out our Facebook page and tell us what you think…..
