This week’s post is written by guest blogger, Jessica Larson, SolopreneurJournal.com The coronavirus pandemic left many of us with a feeling of fear unlike any we’ve ever experienced. Faced with a new illness no one previously knew about — one which still poses plenty of uncertainty — we’ve been forced to change our lifestyles drastically…
DetailsI am going to pose a scenario. Don’t get caught up in the language… if you aren’t self-employed, or don’t work 1-to-1, just change the language to reflect what you do. Imagine an acquaintance contacts you. S/he says, “You do That Amazing Thing You Do better than anyone I have come across in recent history…
DetailsHave you heard the phrase, “How you do one thing is how you do everything”? It might be your outlook on life, or it might be ingrained behaviors, but whatever results or challenges you experience in “real” life might also be showing up in your money life.
