Creating Wealth & Success

Multiple Streams of Income

We've all heard that it's best to have multiple streams of income in this economy rather than putting all your eggs into one basket, both for current income and for retirement. Tax lien investing is a nice stream of income for me, but it is not my only source of income, nor is it my main source of income. My family's main source of income comes from my husband's job. If we were relying on his job alone, we'd be just over broke, but instead we thrive. We thrive because of our other streams of income: Tax lien investing, Internet Marketing, Equipment Brokering, and just recently added, Real Estate Investing.

My personal main stream of income is internet marketing, and I attribute my success in my online business to my online success mentor, Jeanette Cates.

Cooking Under Pressure

I feel like I'm always cooking under pressure!   When I worked outside the home, I think I was more organized with my meal planning than I am now.  Many times, however, I would stop at the store on the way home if I hadn't figured out what I'd cook before I left the house that morning.   Working at home, it's just too much trouble to run out and pick something up at 5 pm.  For one thing, this is peak traffic time because all the other moms are out there picking up their groceries for dinner!  Well, all those who aren't in a drive-up lane somewhere picking up food!

I can't remember married life without a Crock Pot, and it is one of my frequently used appliances.   Sunday is the day it gets used the most because I like to come home to a nice meal after a rather long day at church.

How I Sell Loads of My Products and Programs All Year Long

Once upon a time there was a coach who wasn’t making any money.

She tried to publish an e-zine, submit articles, learn about search engines, and host teleclasses.

Her colleagues told her to do more free sessions with prospects, but she had very limited time and, frankly, wasn’t really good at it.  Her coach told her to get out and speak to networking groups, but she had two children at home and didn’t want to travel.  Her husband told her to lower her rates, but that only attracted “nightmare” clients.

God Does Not Throw Us Away!

From  a distance, each horse looks like any other  horse.
But  if you stop your car, or are walking by, you  will notice something quite amazing….

Looking into the eyes of one horse will  disclose that he is blind. His  owner has chosen not to have him put down, but  has made a good home for him.

This  alone is amazing.  If you stand nearby and  listen, you will hear the sound of a bell.   Looking around for the source of the  sound, you will see that it comes from the  smaller horse in the field.

There Comes a Time

There comes a time in your life when you finally get it…

When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out—ENOUGH!

Enough fighting, crying, or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a temper tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world through new eyes.

Well, If She's Working With You, Then I Will Too! 5 Ways to Show Social Proof of Your Great Work

When your peeps are thinking about working with you or even purchasing a product or program, they like to see social proof of others who have had an experience with you.
In general, we like to follow the crowd, and we feel more confident in our decisions if we see similar people or people we know who are using the product or have joined the program.

I recently experienced this when a colleague was leading a workshop which she had invited me to attend.

23 Ways You Can Use Books to Help Your Business Grow: Part 1--Books for Employees

My father was the late Charlie "Tremendous" Jones. He started Executive Books for the purpose of changing the world one book at a time. I was organizing some of Dad's materials and came across a pamphlet which my assistant described as "really old." But as those of us with more than a few years of experience under our belt know, there is nothing new under the sun. Some of the most sage wisdom and business acumen come from the motivational classics of yesteryear.

What struck me was the relevance of the pamphlet's title, especially in today's circumstances. It was called 23 Ways You Can Use Books to Help Your Business Grow. The ideas listed may be applied to any size and type of business. How do you keep your staff growing and mentored when there's no room in the budget for travel, conference, or speakers.

4 Marketing Basics Will Get You to 6-Figures and Beyond

If someone had looked in a crystal ball back when I first started my business and predicted that I would create a 7-figure coaching business, I think I would have snorted, and said, "Excuse me, but what are you smoking?!" The truth is when I first started my business I just wanted to make as much money as I had when I was at my j-o-b. Believe me, that number wasn't even close to 6-figures, much less 7. But something shifted when I saw that 6-figures was possible. I became intrigued to figure out what it would take to reach that magical milestone. The biggest "A-ha!" came when I started including Divine Guidance (read, intuition) in every marketing or business decision. Now, remember that intuition is not fear or self-doubt. Those emotions are just trying to sidetrack you from stepping into your place of power. You can tell if it's fear or self-doubt because you'll find yourself saying things like, "It's not the right time" or "I don't think I'm ready yet." Sorry, gals, that's fear speaking. How do I know?

Beyond the Basics: Finding Out About Online Tax Sales

Recently one of my subscribers asked me to recommend a web site where they can purchase tax liens or tax deeds. They were really looking for a place where they could buy tax liens and tax deeds online and do their due diligence online as well. Here's what you need to know before you buy tax lien certificates or tax deeds online and some resources to help you.

First you need to know that although there are some web sites that sell secondary tax liens and deeds, you are usually better off buying them directly from the county.

Americans Hate Their Jobs

"Americans hate their jobs more than ever in the past 20 years, with fewer than half saying they are satisfied."

It's no wonder people hate their jobs. There's no job security anymore and that makes it tough to be loyal to your employer. When I was growing up, it wasn't unusual at all for a man to work for one employer his whole life. Now, people not only change jobs, they often change careers.

Some people work at jobs they hate just because they fear the unknown.
