Another good money post, this one by Darius Foroux
by
This note made me smile from Darius Foroux: “All my problems will be solved once I have a little bit more cash on hand.” Sorry to disappoint you, but that will never happen. As your bank account grows, your problems will too. As Profit First advises, as your income grows so will your expenses. Foroux…
Justin Jackson on Finances and Cutting Expenses
by
Jackson says in regard to his $4400/month expense burn: This wasn’t as big of a deal when revenue was high. I was able to pay my expenses, and still pay myself a good salary.

You’re interesting and we need it
by
From Austin Kleon: In the (perfect) movie adaptation, Hannibal calls Clarice on the phone, and he says it just a little differently: “The world’s more interesting with you in it.” This is important to remember all the time. Especially when we are going through tough times. There is always a group of people that would…

On Sketchnotes from Alpha Efficiency
by
So about Sketchnoting: I like to call sketchnotes notes plus because they’re just like the notes you take now, with drawings, icons, and lettering added for emphasis. The addition of visual elements help you remember ideas more clearly and make note-taking more fun. Sketchnoting is all about being in the moment and relying on your…

Jeff Brown has a great podcast on standing out. I use one of these strategies to serve his book group well by participating extensively in it. I’ve even produced audio reviews for member only. What are you doing to stand out?
