Get Uncomfortable. Face Your Fears!!!

I recently joined the 60 Day Video Challenge hosted by Natalie Gouche’-Mogul Mom on Facebook. I had been so scared to do videos and to put myself out there that I didn’t start the challenge right away. Everyone is on day #12 and I’m just uploading my first video! After Natalie blasted me in a post, I figured, “what the hay?” and just went for it. Like my grandpa says, “Ain’t nothin to it but to do it!”

So check out my very first video and if you’re “bout that life” join the challenge here.

Are You Suffering From The Desperate Housewife Syndrome?

This popular show about the secrets and truths in the lives of female friends in the suburbs after the suicide of their friend came out in 2004 and was a big hit. What I wanted to emphasize is all the trouble the women kept falling into due to them having a huge amount of time on their hands. This is what led to this post...I wanted to shine a light on this and how it can affect your life and what you can do to "cure" it.

What are the Symptoms? Are you spending most of your time during the day watching the latest episodes of your favorite ”not-so reality” TV series? Do you find yourself on the phone a lot discussing (aka gossiping) about who your neighbor had sleep over last night? Or are you the soccer mom just wishing you had something better to do with your time? If you are in one of these or a similar situation, you may be suffering from The Desperate Housewife Syndrome.

Here are some tips to cure the Desperate Housewife Syndrome:

1. Find a Hobby.  There are plenty of things to do instead of watching t.v. or talking on the phone with friends. I suggest Reading. You can read fiction books or books that help expand your knowledge. I am currently reading The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles. I am going to be introducing a Book of the Month Club where I will choose a book to read and host discussions. I believe that it is important to never stop learning and growing and we can do it together!

2. Do What You Love. For me it was writing, but it can be anything from taking your kids to the park to crafting. Anything to help keep your mind occupied. As my grandma used to say, "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

3. Start a Business. These days there a literally thousands of ways to make money. Choosing which one can be a doozy. Check out my previous post about Ways to Make Money in 2013. I recently did a post on ways to make money online in 2013. Also, click on the Income Opportunities tab where I have added a few of the programs I am involved in to make extra cash.

Ways to Make Money in 2013

This post is just a little late since we are in the 2nd quarter of the year already. I had been wanting to write it for a while since there are a few people I know that either have been trying unsuccessfully to get a job or find something to do with their free time. I have compiled a list of ways that I know for sure can make you a little extra money in today's economy.

There are programs online that can help you get some extra cash in your pocket IF you put in a little work. What have you got to lose?
Here are a few ways to make Passive Income in 2013
These are just a few of the ways that myself and others use to make extra money online that are legit and they work!

1. Blogging. This is an awesome way to get started making Passive Income online! It helps to establish yourself as an expert in your niche. There are a few free platforms to choose from such as Blogger, Weebly, and WordPress to get you started. I have a Blogger blog because I am just learning the ropes. I also have a blog with the Empower Network. Its a small investment and you will receive 100% commissions when you sign someone up to the blogging system. Email me to get started making 100% commissions today!

2. Partner with Paul. What is PWP? it is both a cost per action affiliate program and a regular affiliate program. The goal of PWP is to sell its work at home kit but even if you do not sell the kit you will get paid $2.50-$5 every time someone opts into the form. There are no costs to start and no credit card required. There is unlimited earning potential! Click on the Income Opportunities Tab on the home screen to learn more about Partner with Paul now!

3. Write an Ebook. Are you well versed in a particular subject? Do you have a "story"/message that you would like to be heard? Well share your ideas with the world...and get paid for it! You can sell your ebook and its another way to establish yourself as an expert in a particular niche. If you send me an email I can send you the easy steps to getting your ebook published!

4. Affiliate or Network Marketing. I'm sure you've heard of companies such as Mary Kay, Avon, ViSalus, Herbalife, etc. These are Network Marketing companies that allow you to sell their products and receive a percentage of the sales. This is a great place to start in internet marketing as you will become vetted in the art of selling and making money online.

If you want to learn how to get started with any of these opportunities send me an email and I will be glad to help you.
