I confess that I had so much to do and so much fun over the holiday weekend that I just got to reading my emails from the weekend. And naturally, every internet marketer whose list I’m on had an Independence Day email for me.
Most of them had the typical “find your financial [...]

For most of us, multi-tasking is not at all an option. Entrepreneurs, it seems to me, are born multi-taskers. Not only do we accept it as a part of life, we demand it.

Gratitude is great. Most people completely underestimate the power of it. Not me. I start everyday thinking about all the things in my life that are great. A lot of times it’s the same things. But I always try to put a new twist on why I’m grateful.
