Know Your Worth

But also know…

  • Your rates
  • Your fees
  • Your limits
  • Your boundaries
  • Your cutoffs
  • Your pushing point
  • The distance you’re willing to travel
  • The company you want to keep
  • The type of clients you want to serve
  • The environment you want to be in
  • The choices you’re comfortable making
  • The dreams you want to follow
  • The sacrifices you’re willing to make
  • The people you’ll allow in your circle

Your worth is tied to so many elemnts that it is important to know it as early on as possible so you know what you will and will not stand for.

Can You Hustle At Your Job?

Can hustle at your job?

Sure! As long as your job isn’t your only hustle.

Your job, your employer, your boss is only providing you one income stream. Just one.

You cannot build wealth with one income stream. You cannot build financial security with one income stream. You can no longer retire as comfortably (or at all) as you would like with one income stream.

Yes, you can hustle at your job. Get that employee of the month award. Get that promotion and raise. Just make sure when you come home you’re writing, or blogging or building your YouTube brand. Maybe you’re into website building, graphic design, or preparing taxes. Just don’t sleep on yourself. You’re worth more than any W-4.

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr.

“Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” “- Martin Luther King Jr.

How to Use Craigslist to Market Your Side Hustle

Last year, I wrote a short eBook sharing five tips I use to market my side hustles. Many people did not and still don’t believe me that Craigslist helped me turn my notary hustle into a part time notary business.

What’s the difference between a side hustle and a part time business (or a business in general)?

  • A dedicated bank account
  • A dedicated website, self-hosted
  • An email address ending in your website domain and not in gmail, yahoo or msn
  • A separate business phone #
  • Business cards (yes, business cards still work)

I even had to explain to a woman in my LinkedIn notary group how I’ve been success using Craigslist to market myself because she didn’t believe it either.

I break it down in five simple steps that are not just applicable to notary publics, but anyone who has a service based hustle. It’s not magic and it’s not an overnight gimmick, but it does work. I’m using these tactics to this day, every week.

To learn my 5 steps, buy my eBook using this link: https://bit.ly/38TUGb9

And I welcome feedback and free thoughts!!

Save More Money

Save more money

No, you don’t need a $1,000 to start saving. Five dollars will do just fine. But save. And regularly. Saving is one element of building wealth and creating more income. Saving allows you to create a security net that doesn’t require you to borrow money from family and friends and definitely not a payday loan place.

You become your own ATM. You become your own bank. But in order you need to start saving. And monthly. And yeah, it could be that five dollars you have extra. Put it in the bank. Don’t touch it. Add to it. Keep working. Keeping adding to it. Watch it grow.

And if you, save more. That’s always the goal. The more you save, the more secure you’ll position yourself in case of an emergency. Or… an opportunity.

Save. Try to save more. Make it a habit.
