Birth of a logo
Comments Off on Birth of a logo
This week was exciting!!!! The birth of my logo has occurred (to be posted once trademark protected), I got my LLC tax payer ID so I can now open up my checking account, and the book is in clean up phase! I will make a June 1 completion date for the book to finally go to the editor!!!!! Better late than never.
Minnesota’s weather has been miserable this spring and I blame myself for the deal I made with Mother Nature (please don’t let the
weather turn nice until I am done with the book) who knew I had so much pull. Today will be a full read of the book with tweaks here and there. I feel as if my need to tweak will never stop, but the editor is my backstop. I just need to make sure I can get in all the important things that are flying around in my head. Just Friday, I found a new statistic in reading Sarah Lorge Butler’s article “One Small, Surprising Way to Ensure Your Kid Gets to College” quoting from the College Savings Initiative, “kids with a savings account in their own name are six times more likely to attend college than those without an account.” How is that for incentive to teach your kids to save money!As the Nike tag line states, just do it, go and open a saving account for your kids today!

Springing into the season with a full Money Bag!
Comments Off on Springing into the season with a full Money Bag!I am not sure what is more shocking, that it is finally reaching 70 degrees in Minnesota or I am updating my blog!
The last couple of months have been stressful. My goal was to have the book to the editor by March 1st, but between burnout, writers block, two ski weekends, and tax season, that was a lofty goal. Gratefully, all problems have passed and I am ready! The book is looking good and I am excited in the direction that it is going team task management app. My draft actually looks like a real manuscript with an introduction, table of contents and organized chapters with headings! I have cut chapters out, moved them around, revamped and polished. I still have to rework four chapters dealing with debit/credit cards and marketing.
Though it appears that I have been on hiatus, things have been progressing. Aaron Fruit has been working on my logo and we are close to the finished look and picking a color palette. Also, I have been researching money traditions and have to laugh because when I search via Google® I only find “witchcraft type spells for money.” Thankfully, I have found a couple of books to give me some ideas, but neither of them touches money with a ten foot pole, not even the Tooth Fairy! I also have reached back into my childhood, playing some board games to make sure that I still think they do a good job in teaching money. I have also
been exploring some new games to see if they will work for the book.In the spirit of spring time, make sure to plant a tree, flower, or some vegetables with your child. This is a great way to begin working on delayed gratification. Explain to your kids that planting this special tree, flower, or vegetable plant is similar to money. Money grows slowly and you have to nurture and make sure it is safe. If you feed it (save more) it will grow beyond your expectations and provide you wonderful flowers, a bountiful harvest, or shade for your nurturing and patience.

Minnesota has finally ‘Tique cheap jerseys turned into the cold tundra with freezing rain and a sheet of ice on the roads and walkways. After winning a Spider Solitary game (the first one in months) I am ready to focus. However, I was not ready for the ◆無駄なチカラ その１ one page chapter to take Complete two hours!
Today, I tackled explaining credit/debit cards. With my goal to make each chapter teachable, memorable, and fun, it another took awhile to think of an analogy that would do just that, but my determination paid off.
After that earth breaking speed, I went back to my office and pulled the trigger to print five Motivational copies of the manuscript to be cheap nba jerseys read and receive feedback from my friends. I know I am on the right path when I hear people say they don’t know how to teach their kids. I cannot get this book out fast enough! I have stepped out of my comfort zone by letting my work be seen in such an incomplete state, but I want and need cheap mlb jerseys their feedback. I am open and able to handle negative comments, but I think they are going to love Kulit what I have done.

Living a Money Bags Life
1 CommentI had an awesome day of thinking/writing on the book last Sunday. I was lucky enough to have a good friend that was out of town and gracious enough to let me to work from her house. The environment is the lap of luxury, but still inviting. To top it all off, Eddie her big yellow striped cat was there to keep me company. Since she had been gone almost two weeks touring Ireland, I was a welcome site. Two things are always a fact when I see Eddie, he loves to snuggle via a human like hug nudging my chin (he just cannot get close enough) and I am always wearing black.
Since the environment was ideal, it was a great day to take a fresh look at the organization of the book I am writing. I feel this is the cheap NFL jerseys hardest part of the book since money is not lieniar and cheap MLB jerseys there is so much to know. I spent most of Are the day just working manual style with pages all over the wholesale NBA jerseys counter. Move this chapter forward and that one back.
I also got wholesale NFL jerseys crystal clear on the age of my target audience’s kids. Initially, I was trying to have different seniors for older wholesale NFL jerseys kids, but this weekend when the decision to focus on younger kids made it more concise.
I am excited, because with the progress I made, I feel one more good weekend will allow me to reach my goal of getting the book to the point where I am comfortable sending it du out for input from my good friends, family, and colleagues. It is kind of funny how everyone thinks I want them to edit, but in their defense, with my awesome spelling skills Family and lengthy sentences (note sarcasm) I am sure it will be natural. My goal Lifetime… for them is to let me know if I am hitting the mark. Are Disclaimer there chapters that need tweaking or do they even have a story or lesson to add?
The one thing that I am excited by and envision happening is feedback and stories from you, my audience. I envision people giving me their stories and tools for teaching that cheap NBA jerseys can incorporate Amy le in book two or its own book.
Finally, wholesale NFL jerseys the retainer to hire Beaver’s Pond Press is to be mailed this week! This company is a dream come true. It allows me to hire professionals, but maintain control of the overall decision of the book. With their professional guidance I am in the driver seat, but get to delegate and use their strengths. I have enjoyed meeting Milt and Amy and trust that they will help me create the book I am envisioning.
I ended the night by making the needed edits and nailing the bartering section — that never seemed right to me!
The thought that wholesale MLB jerseys this time next year, the book will be published is still hard to imagine, but it is going to happen!
