Friday Ramblings-Free Book Covers
I’m using my ‘outside office’ to write this. Outside office translates into deck. I’m making the most of the just right temperature before tomorrow when there’s a heat advisory. High heat combined with humidity isn’t my thing so I make the most of the great outdoors while I can. It’s been a week of doing this and doing that. I’m taking part in a few more upcoming bundle giveaways, so I’ve been planning out those. I’m also close to finishing a new product for the BSG store. I’ll give you a hint, it’s for bloggers. I just signed up to become an affiliate for Maria Silvo’s newly created site Artsy…

What’s Your Relationship With Money?
This week we’ve been talking about FIRE. Sometimes achieving financial independence involves changing the way you think about money. Sometimes we don’t know about the bad relationship we have with our money until some major setback happens and we realize we’ve been spending more than we earn or the savings account has just a few pennies in it. What better time to look at your how you view money than to take part in Angela of Laptop YOUniversity’s upcoming Money Master Challenge. Recently I asked her some questions about it and here’s what she had to say- BSG-How did you come up with the idea of the Money Master Challenge?…

Instant Gratification Can Extinguish FIRE
It’s Sunday late afternoon, heading into early evening. The neighborhood’s been quiet all weekend but suddenly the sound of lawnmowers ruin the tranquility. You look out and see people in their yards rushing back and forth behind the mowers, sweat pouring from them, and an anything but happy or peaceful look upon their faces. In fact, they look worn out, they look downright miserable because once they’re done with this chore, it’s a quick meal and then to bed, ready to get up the next morning and head to work. Why do these people leave the lawnmowing chore until Sunday evening, and why the less than happy look? They’re the…

Let’s Start Talking About FIRE
Fire, no, not the type you use to keep warm or start to cook food, but FIRE otherwise know as Financial Independence, Retire Early. One or both of those things might sound good to you. I’m probably not going to go with the Retire Early part, but I’ve always loved the idea of financial independence. Yes, even before it became a catchphrase. The having enough money as not to be dependent on something else be it a person or otherwise for your everyday needs and long term survival. Never having to worry about losing your job because you’ve got enough saved to tide you over until another one comes along.…

Friday Ramblings-Freelance Survival
It’s been a hot and humid week which has meant that I’ve spent more time inside. I’d generally see this as a bad thing as I’m an outdoors sort of person, but it’s allowed me to finish one of my products for BSG. In fact, I uploaded it the other day and it’s the Freelance Survival Pack. It’s something I wish I’d gotten my hands on when I launched my freelance writing business. Whether, like me, you’re a writer, or a coach, artist, graphic designer, whatever, you’ll find 30 checklists, templates, planners, and tips to help you either get started as a freelancer or if you’re already freelancing, help make…

Budget Smart Girl-Budget Planner
Have you wanted to keep track of where your money goes? What bills need paying and when? Can’t figure out how much is in that rainy day fund? While I consider myself pretty good with keeping track of my money, I’m lousy at keeping all the information in one place. I’ve been known to have slips of paper with how much I need to invoice a client, jotted on it. How much royalty I just got paid scribbled on another. Sticky pad notes stuck on the fridge, reminding me the car tabs need paying this month. I see you shaking your head and thinking ‘me too’. So, last week, while…
