There is nothing easy with business. If you are a small business owner, then you know how much work is involved. I ran my online electronics business for 4 years building it from nothing into something great. I worked from 7am to 3am each and every day in order to succeed with my business. Right before the holiday season, I made a big decision. Read about what I did and why I did it.

My buddy Jim called me the other day and told me about an interesting decision his boss asked him to make. Jim works for a small company and had just been given his annual performance review with his manager. Obviously, Jim was anxious to learn what kind of salary increase he’d be getting, but his…

This age old debate is a mental and emotional struggle that everyone deals with. Some deal with it better than others, but there are some that allow it to completely consume them. Anyone that is trying to get out of debt must get a grip on this debate and find a common ground. Wants versus…

I have a confession my friends. It’s not something I’m really happy about, but the truth hurts sometimes. I have a problem and I’m working hard to fix it. I’m a hoarder, everyone. Yes, that’s right, I hoard, but not things, just money! I’m a money hoarder and I’m working to change it. While it…
