My blog about hoping to get in on the upcoming initial public offering of Facebook stock was selected for the 361st edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance.
Hosted by One Cent at a Time, the carnival had a Mother’s Day theme.
Blog carnivals are collections of blogs about certain topics, such as personal finance. Each week, a different blog acts as host and selects the best of the blogs submitted to showcase in the carnival.
The Facebook IPO blog recounts my quest to be one of the “small” — emphasis on small here — investors eTrade is allowing to bid on IPO shares of the social media giant. I don’t yet know if I will be one of the chosen few. Read full post…
Savings Accounts and Money Market Rates provided by 21 December 2011 This is probably the most common question I get from beginner wholesalers. Not to worry, if you have a great wholesale deal you can get it sold quickly by following my advise. You can also always post a question on my blog to get an immediate answer from me if you have any wholesaling houses questions what so ever.
The quickest ways to get your deals sold when your first starting out are to let other experienced wholesalers shop your deal to their buyers list. Instead of cutting them into your profit just tell them what they need for the deal and let them add on whatever they want on top of that. Even though I have a thousand buyers in my local market I will still let other wholesalers sell my deals.
Back in the day, I vividly recall running to the mail box to look for our tax refund. It was as if Id found free money, even though I knew of course that it was just the IRS returning my own money to me. Still, tax refund day made me feel like I had won the lottery.

1. Direct Deposit This is exactly what it sounds like. The government will directly deposit your tax refund into your checking account.
An annual event began this week that enthralls nearly every male in the country: March Madness. College basketball fans have begun tuning in to as many of the 67 games as possible that are airing until the final game April 2.
Fans everywhere have been rushing to create brackets for their choice teams. Companies even offer bracket competitions for their employees. 
Male productivity suffers during March Madness. Of course, there’s the distraction from work. The employment firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas estimates that employers will pay distracted workers $175 million for unproductive time this year.
That’s not the only loss of male productivity: I read earlier this week on ABC that there is a correlation between March Madness and vasectomy operations.

People respond to good leadership! Period! It is in all aspects of our lives, not just business. A mother is a leader in her home; a son may be leader of a team sport or a daughter the leader of the debate team. A group relies on the person in charge to actually lead them to success. A true leader is highly ethical, honest and respected.
In our society we have leaders and followers. Are we born to one or the other? No! Can you hone your leadership skills? Absolutely!
The leaders that I admire seem to have all of these in place:
