Resale Rights: Using Expired Royalty-Free Content to Generate Passive Income

Do you know the most common characteristic of all highly successful information business owners?

3 Ways to Respectfully Handle Your Less-Than-Ideal Clients

If you're charging what you're worth then you're going to be cutting loose the bottom 10-15 percent of your clients each year. But nobody likes to be "the bad guy" so when the time comes to move on what do you do? The answer isn't to just pack their bag and say, "See you later Charlie!". Nor is it to hang on to the guilt--and the clients--"because you don't want to hurt their feelings."

First let's be clear about the clients I'm talking about. They're the ones that they love you and what you do, but typically can't afford to pay your top fees. They're still a fan of yours, although they're unlikely to make the kind of changes--and get the kind of results--your top clients make. In a nutshell, they're nice, you like them, but they're always on the fringe of your core service.

Can I Invest In Tax Liens With Money From My Retirement Account?

Here's a question that I get often; "Can I invest in tax lien certificates or tax deeds with money from my retirement account?" The answer to this question is yes, if you have a self-directed IRA or solo 401(k). But what is a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) and how can you tell if your retirement plan is self-directed?

A self-directed IRA is an IRA account - it could be a traditional IRA or SEP IRA, or Roth IRA, that lets you direct where the money is invested. The bad news is that many brokerage houses say that their account is self-directed, but they don't let you invest in anything that they don't sell -- this is not a true self-directed account. A real self-directed retirement account is held by a custodian that doesn't sell any investments. They can offer you education about different investment opportunities that you can participate in with your IRA, but they are not legally allowed to sell you the investment.

You Can't Admit Me - I Have Jimmy Buffett Tickets!

Monday morning we were in San Antonio on the final day of our annual family reunion. We spent four days with my husband's five siblings and had a great time together. We spent one day at Sea World, sat in the splash zone for Shamu, and got soaked on all of the water rides. We laughed, appreciating having fun without using grandkids as our excuse for being there.

When I got up on Monday, it was just like any other day, or so I thought. I showered, packed my bag, and went to the other room to talk to anyone else who was already up. As I walked into the living room, I felt a pain in my chest that immediately spread up my neck and into my head. It was a sensation I had never felt before.
