Having a balanced schedule does not mean giving up all the things you love to do in order to do the things you need to do. It simply requires that you manage your time and eliminate the things in your life that don’t enhance your goals or that do create more work. 10 Steps to…
If you want to get to know someone then the only way that is going to happen is to spend time with them. There is no method that you can follow or plan of action that will help you to know every person you come in contact with because every person is different. My oldest…
When I first started to try and make money online, I was clueless. Even though the internet was not exactly new to me, the workings were. Computers have been around for most of my life, but speaking their language was harder than German (no offense to the German language, but I had enough problems with…
Keeping records is not as easy as I thought it would be. The theory is simple enough, I just don’t do it. I’ve got all the receipts in one place this month (which is definitely a leap forward), but the amounts are being kept a secret until further notice ;). It’s connected to everything else…
