    Learning Something New and Black Friday Challenges

    We’re in the homestretch for both our November challenges. Did you learn anything new this month? Something fun? I’m hooked on the idea of trying to expand my skill set and while I won’t be doing it every day, I’m going to aim for learning a couple of new things per week in 2021. And how about the Black Friday challenge? Do you have three products ready? I have mine ready to do, but yesterday I got into a panic. I loaded everything into the store, but for some reason, I couldn’t upload the files that customers will download on check out. I thought I’d have to alter my plans…

    The 30 Days of Learning Continues

    We’re half way though November and the learning something new each day continues? How are you doing and what have you learned? Anything fun? Anything that’s going to save you money? Have you acquired a skill that could make you money by turning it into a side gig or even a business? Still on my to learn list, is making vegan cheese…I ordered all the ingredients and it’s on this weekend’s things to do list. There are a couple of brands I like but they are pricey so I think if I can figure out how to do it myself, I’ll save money, even after buying all these ingredients. I’m…

    What Did You Learn Last Week?

    Week two of learn something new each day. Following along? It’s not too late to start. In fact, my motto is it’s never too late to start anything. If you have been following along, do you want to share with us what new skills or knowledge you’ve acquired? Last week, I focused on learning how to make homemade shampoo bars…love those things but the price is high. I also watched a tutorial on making your own air fresheners, and one on making lip balm. Also, on my list was making mug cakes. I love baking but I have to be honest if I make a whole cake, it’s a too…

    Monday Motivation-Make A Difference

    If you don’t think your business in impacting someone’s life in a positive way, think again. Your coaching could inspire someone to dream big and achieve something that’s always been in heart. Or even give them the confidence they need to take that first step. You might even be providing a product that puts a smile on someone’s face after a long day at work. This is one of my favorite sayings because many of the products and services we have today is all because someone else put in all that work, sometimes years ago.

    What Have You Learned So Far?

    It’s day three of Learn Something New Every Day Challenge? Learned anything useful? Something that could save you money, make you money, or something that’s just plain fun? Here’s what I have so far. On Sunday, I learned to make tempeh bacon. Turned out pretty good although I did have to double the marinade and I think next time around I’ll add something with a little more kick to the ingredients. This was in my save money category because if you know anything about vegan food, especially the ‘fake’ meat type products, they’re expensive. While I was looking for a recipe, I think I fell down the learning something new…
