Wisdom

 

I have often wondered why the life of servitude made me a victim of greed. For years I looked for a way to earn a living while staying at home with our children.

I love helping people, but in our pursuit of trying to have a business that could help us serve others, people took advantage of us and over the course of several years, "robbed" us of thousands of dollars.

It was hard for me to comprehend how people could live with themselves after taking money from people who were already poor, and instead of actually helping them, tried to upsell them.

On top of that, I wasn't interested in becoming a millionaire! I wasn't interested in having a million dollar home or a brand new car right off the sales lot! I enjoy traveling, but I don't need to vacation 12 months out of the year. I actually like staying home & being with my friends and family and serving others.

My desire was to serve the Lord and help others, but it became increasingly difficult as I hadn't yet learned to take care of myself. I had a lot of things to sort out in my head. Why did I feel guilty selling to someone who I thought could not afford what I was offering. Was I being selfish for trying to earn money? I've learned much over the last year in starting a few "side hustles."

On my search for a "work from home opportunity" I ended up spamming myself with emails of basically lead generating websites. Most of the "offers" required me to pay money up front, which never turns out well. I feel sorry for those who fall into that trap, like I had.

Well today I found a way to give people $10 so they can afford a $7 product. From there one can learn as little or as much as he wants. There are several "free" options and directions on how to do a lot of the work without paying someone. Or there are options to invest some money (WITHOUT spending thousands of dollars, although I suppose you could) and make a higher profit. Let me know what you think!

STEP 1: Click on this link and download the Strike app. It's a FREE app; doesn't cost you anything. This is a referral link, and they will put $10 in your account and pay me $10 for sharing. You don't need a credit card or debit card. It is a very secure app and needs to verify that you are who you say you are (and that no one is trying to open an account in your name).

STEP 2: Click on this link. (Again, this is an affiliate link where I can make a few bucks for sharing this link when someone else signs up) and you pay only $7 (one time fee) to sign up for a lead generating program. That's not much of an investment, and if you've actually done step 1, you actually earn $3 just for checking it out. What you do after that is entirely up to you. I'm not here to hound you or chase after you. Remember? I love helping people.

Thanks for reading this far! I wish you well on your own journey. Don't forget to enjoy life as you search for whatever it is you're looking for. Have a blessed day! ~Lori

    Wow Lori!

    Thanks so much for sharing and thank you for being a person of value, integrity, and willing to give back and share now that you've learned your way through some valuable lessons.

    That's truly what this industry 'should' be about and it's so refreshing to see someone who gets it and now willing to share this opportunity with others! Looking forward to more great content from you!

    And YES, the free strike app & lead lightning systems are both amazing!

    Thanks again.

What is a Side Hustle?

Image
 When I first heard the term "side hustle," I thought it referred to illegal activity. I look back and laugh at how naive I was. Many people are realizing that their 9 to 5 job just isn't cutting it. Either they have increasing bills that they just can't keep up with, especially with the price of inflation. Or their job is taking up so much of their time that they don't really get to enjoy the things they're working so hard to get. I read about a man who was very wealthy: he bought a huge house with a gorgeous view; beautifully landscaped with a deck & fire pit. Nothing wrong with having nice things. But in order to retain that status, his job required him to work 6 days a week. And because it was a long commute every day, he would leave his home well before 5am and return around 9pm. In the back of my mind, I was thinking, "when do you get to enjoy this beautiful view from your house, if you are never there during daylight hours?" More and more ...

Why Stop Dreaming When You Wake Up?

Image
 I have been encouraged over the past few months to "dream big!" What is it that you really want? I had been stuck in my small world of contentment, not realizing I was actually being complacent. I was truly happy doing what I loved. I did not care that I did not own a big house or new car. I loved the simple life, and did not seek after high paying jobs. But my jobs were not paying the ordinary expenses of life. I realize I have potential - I could be doing more  with the gifts God has given me. I admit to being lazy and undisciplined. I take the easy route when given a choice and avoid hard things, telling myself it's not worth my effort or energy to pursue. (In other words, I didn't want it that badly.) So as I look towards my future and what I could be , if given the opportunity; I had to realize it was going to require work. What's that saying? "Anything worth pursuing is going to cost you in one way or another." I had just not been willing to attem...

Working on Multiple Streams of Income

Image
  As an online preschool teacher, and homeschool mother, I enjoy the work I do. I love preparing and delivering lessons; I love creating activities and printables that get children excited to learn. As I learned the technology to deliver classes online, as I'm continuing to learn varying marketing strategies, I am constantly coming across new "money making opportunities." I have heard from different entrepreneurs, that you need to have multiple streams of income, if something suddenly stops working. Being away from the 9-5 job that most of my friends have, I'm not worrying about being laid off, but being my own boss requires me to be diligent with my accounting practices, because I don't earn a paycheck every Friday. When one is self-employed, there are so many things that you have to consider, that you may not have thought of before as simply an employee. As I look into various affiliate programs, and educational platforms, I want to promote something I believe i...
