Stop spending. Start living.
I have an announcement to make…and it’s a doozy. At the beginning of April, I quit my job. I walked away from my super stable and well-paid 9-5 job and leaped toward the unknown. I put in 2-weeks notice but agreed to work until the end of the month…and now its done!
A few months ago, I wrote about how I was a workaholic. The truth is, that is probably an epic understatement. [Read more...]
Hey…..psssttt…..you over there. I have a confession to make. I want you to know that I’m barely computer literate. Shhhh…..What’s worse? I only pretend to know what people are doing on Twitter, and I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing on Google +. Not only that, but I actually send some of my blog posts to my mom so she can check the punctuation. My mother has some amazing grammar skillz and is good at pointing out when I am violating any rules. Thanks, mom! She also sews buttons back on all my clothes….but that’s a whole ‘nother blog post altogether.
Anyways, back to the point of this post. It’s that I suck at this stuff. So you’re probably wondering how I am managing to write a successful blog and make money doing it. And you’re probably wondering how I got hired to write for a bigger blog like Get Rich Slowly. Truthfully, sometimes I even wonder the same thing myself. On the other hand, I don’t think it’s rocket science or some secret formula. The answer is simple. I’ve been successful because I keep trying. I never give up.
When we first started our blog, the only person that read it was my mom…..and she LOVED it. She thought it was amazing. Or at least she said she did. Anyway, that gave me hope that more people might read it one day. And now that they do, I thought I should share a handful of things that I’ve learned since I started. [Read more...]
So…I’m pretty sure that I’m a workaholic. I’m not sure if it’s an actual problem or not,but I’m definitely finding that I am working waaaaaaaaaay more than I am enjoying myself these days. Yesterday, Johnny Moneyseed wrote about how to increase your income instead of waiting for a pay raise. Luckily, I’ve got that shiznit more than covered. I’m working in some way nearly every waking hour that I’m not spending with my kids. The results are wonderful, profitable, and terribly depressing all at the same time. Needless to say, all work and no play makes Holly a dull, dull girl. Anyways, I wanted to take a few minutes to explore my extreme tendency to work 28 hours a day and also to ask my readers how many hours you work on any given week. Maybe I will find out that I am not alone…or maybe I will find out that I seriously need to get a life…and quick. [Read more...]
