60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 15

Today’s Task: Pursue 5 contract leads One of the best things that you can do as an entrepreneur is to always be selling. 😀  This was one of my favorite acronyms they taught us at Cutco. ABS. I remember when they first said that, I thought, “Automatic Braking System!” The racer in me immediately when […]

60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 14

Today’s task:  Meet with a financial coach. Not to be confused with ‘schedule a meeting with a financial coach’. 😀  I felt like 90 minutes of chatting and goal-setting was enough for one day. It didn’t help that I had spent the previous half hour letting tears run down my face. The trigger was a […]

60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 13

Welcome to Day 9 of the 60-day financial fitness challenge! How are you doing? Feeling as jazzed as I am about finance? I’m beginning to feel the game-ness spirit of all of this. How much can I grow in two months? Where will I be in 60 days if I already feel like I’ve made […]

60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 7

You did it! You made it an entire week through the 60-day financial fitness challenge. I’ll admit, I literally spaced posting this evening until I was setting my alarm for tomorrow.
