A few months ago, I wrote a post about why your house is not an asset. I recently found the YouTube video below about the very same topic.

But that doesn’t mean that I won’t provide you with any value. I was browsing some blogs the other day, and I [...]

The question of hiring a website designer is an issue I wrestled with when I first got that entrepreneurial itch. I was someone who wanted to start a business, preferably an online business, from scratch and with little to no money.
The major roadblock, however, was putting up a website. I didn’t want to spend $500 [...]
