Blogging is a lot of fun and can be very rewarding, but if you’re new to the blogging world and you’ve been watching videos and reading books, you’re probably starting to get exhausted by all of the tasks that you need to get done. I must admit, I don’t have any friends or relatives that blog. I am new to blogging and have learned many of the things I now know through research, reading relevant books, and taking courses. Here are some common things that can make some bloggers give up on blogging shortly after starting.

Writing a book? Here are some tips to help you!

Writing a book can seem very difficult if you aren’t familiar with the process. Now I must admit, there are some tedious steps involved in writing a book, but it’s not anything to pull your hair out over. I remember when I first thought about writing a book. It was in March or April of 2016. I started off by researching what I needed to do. In that research I came across a few articles stating “Writing a book was a waste of time.” I read the articles and it instilled a lot of doubt. From that point I struggled with starting to write my book. I would begin to write and then think that it wasn’t good enough and ended up starting over and over and over again. Eventually, I began to get frustrated and I gave up completely. I didn’t believe in my writing and I wasn’t disciplined enough to keep at it. Have you experienced this before? If so, you are not alone. Well, it is now 2021 and I am happy to report that I am in the editing phase of my novel. Here are some tips that can help you get started and keep going with writing a book.

How can we teach our children about finances? Here are 10 ways!

Leave a Comment / Family Balance Sheet, Financial Literacy, Investing in Yourself /

Finances are just for adults, right? If you said yes, then I respectfully disagree with you. We sometimes say to ourselves “I wish I started learning about finances when I was younger.” So, why is it that our children can’t start learning about finances at a young age? In the times that we are living in now I believe we should, if we haven’t already, share our view of finances with our family in our household. Now, I am not saying that your child should know how much your credit limit is or the balances on your loans. What I am saying is, a child should know the basics of finances like not to go over 30% of credit utilization and staying under 10% is preferred. They should learn about budgeting and investing. They should learn about APR and amortization schedules. You don’t have to show them your financial statements if you are uncomfortable with that because there are plenty of examples on the internet. Our schools do not teach this information, so we have to start finding ways to do it ourselves. Here are 10 ways we can teach our kids and young adults about finances.

12 ways to relax & improve our mental health

Leave a Comment / Investing in Yourself, Mental Health /

Mental health has been a big concern for many people this past year. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many to have high anxiety and fear. The way we would normally approach our day has changed. We now have to be very conscious of where we go, how close we stand to others, and remember not to leave home without a mask. Parents had to adjust to accommodate their kids schooling at home. Some still had to report to their jobs because working remotely wasn’t an option. Many have gone an entire year without seeing family or spending the holidays with them. With stress, frustration, and thoughts of giving up on the rise, I decided to do some research and create a list of ways that we can relax and improve our mental health.
