Do my kids really get the money thing?
Published April 26, 2012 | 
On Sunday, I was over at a church members house finishing up some yard work I've been helping them with. My oldest was with me helping serve this family. I asked if she was still interested in babysitting. She was a bit dismissive in her answer, so I asked if she still wanted to make some money doing it. Then she lit up a bit. She asked me how much she could make, so we talked about it a bit. We finished the conversation and kept bagging up yard debris.
Last night, she shared the two Read more [...]

When Opportunity Knocks…
Published March 3, 2011 |
What do you say when opportunity knocks? Are you ready? Do you tell opportunity to come another day? Are you ready? Are your finances in order?
I was at a presentation that my good friend and mentor, Greg Sofio, put on today. He was speaking on his book, Honey, I Quit My JOB. The main focus of the talk was the 3 Mindsets we need to truly create wealth. He shared this quote that got me thinking…
“One Secret of life is for a man to be ready when opportunity comes.” – Read more [...]

Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1 Tim 6:9-10

Tips to Save $$ on Memberships
Published January 30, 2011 |
I was at the book store today. I visited 2 actually. At each I was offered a membership to their premium club. The membership offered a 10% discount on any purchases I make with the store. The cost was $20 annually with each store.
The question is whether the 10% savings is worth the $20 annually. Will I save or will I not save is the real question. Of human nature, I’ve discovered that we all inherently have a desire to get a good deal on our purchases. We all have a desire deep Read more [...]
Procrastination Kills Progress
Published January 21, 2011 |
Why don’t people do what they say they want?
Why do people say they want something they’re not willing to work for?
Why do people say they “already know that” when told how to get out of the mess they’re in for not “doing that”?
“Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.” James 4:17
It’s an interesting quote from scripture. James was ahead of his time. He’s not necessarily talking about financial goals in this passage, but Read more [...]

It’s Time to Rethink Financial Freedom, 3 things the Bible says…
Published December 21, 2010 |
What comes to mind when you hear the words Financial Freedom?
I think of the unprofessional folks on the internet trying to get me to join their home based direct selling business. Don’t get me wrong, but many of these people don’t have a clue and aren’t making any money in their ‘business’. Who’s been trying to peddle you a gimmick or a gadget that is the way to easy money?
Well, let me tell you there is an easy way to financial freedom, but it has nothing to do with the size Read more [...]
Money doesn’t grow on trees…
Published December 20, 2010 |
I hear this all the time. Would you like to know how to grow money on trees and make it a permanent change in your financial life? I believe money does grow on trees, but most people don’t know how to grow it…
