Every year between Halloween weekend and Nov 14th I make a list of my plans for the upcoming year.  I take a weekend to look at the previous year and think about where I am right now and ask myself 3 questions; Who do I want to be? What do I want to do? Where do I want to go? I have my list outlined and ready to go for the upcoming year. I have my rudder, my Google Maps, I have my direction. Now i...

From June 17th through the end of August 2022 I documented my journey going through the 75 Hard program.

Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 7 - Build Wealth & Give is the goal. The Baby Steps Dave has outlined all work together to lead you to this point in life. Take back control of you time and money, live the life you want to live, help others along the way. Once you have complete control of your time and income you have options to do darn near anything you want. Going through the Baby Steps in order...

Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps 4, 5, & 6 - Investing, College, & the Mortgage all happen at the same time in Dave's plan so I wanted to cover them all at once in the same episode. Baby Step 4; Invest 15% of your income for retirement. Baby Step 5; Save/Invest for kids college. Baby Step 6; Pay off your home mortgage. These steps are where most people disagree with Dave and his process...

Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 3 - Save A 3-6 Month Emergency Fund is the one I resonate with the most (so yeah, continuing a series on DR). Dave Ramey’s whole platform is to build wealth because building wealth allows you to have control of you time and money, which will let you live the life you want to live rather than the life you are handed. Once your debt is gone the next step in the plan is t...

I want to talk about Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 2 - Pay Off All Non-Mortgage Debt in this episode (so yes, we are doing a series now).

Debt is an obligation that requires one party, the debt...

In recent months I have had numerous conversation with people telling me why Dave Ramsey is wrong and how his system (The Baby Steps) is only for people who do not know how manage their money, or those who are deeply in debt. I couldn't disagree more. Dave Ramey’s whole platform is to build wealth because building wealth allows you to have control of you time and money, which will let you liv...

Recently I keep hearing this word over and over in my life in various places and various forms, and once I decided to pay attention things began to become more clear in my own head and life. That word is Focus. When you get clear about what you want your priorities will begin to form and fall into place. At that point you can either listen to the messages they are giving you about what to focus on...

This year (2022) I've put my photography endeavors on the back burner in order to pursue other goals.

I am ready to start using affiliate marketing as a part of my business model and with 4 websites, 4 podcasts, a YouTube channel, an email newsletter, social media and more this is essentially leaving money on the table. Time-for-dollars has got me here with freelancing, 1-on-1 gigs in photography and coaching, but that is not something that is scalable. I want to add new revenue streams with the g...
