August 19, 2010

Yesterday, I had lunch with my BFF, Peggy, at our favorite little hole-in-the-wall Mexican food joint that we’ve frequented for decades (literally) and I made a choice that affected the remaining part of my day and virtually the entire night.

Are You Having A Financial Affair?

June 10, 2010

I know, I know. Just the idea on ‘an affair’ makes people crazy…though it’s usually associated with a relationship of some sort.

Positive thinking, powerful prayer, and raising your vibration. Is this how you’re going to create financial security? Without getting real with your money, none of this will make a difference.

April 21, 2010

Most of us define Financial Freedom as follows… “Financial freedom is when you have more money coming in each month passively (i.e., you’re not trading much of your time and energy for it) than you have going out in expenses each month.” Makes sense, huh?
