So today I'm writing because I have some exciting news. Getting results is fun! It is fun to receive an email notification that you have received funds paid into your account.

For me, right now, it is a little tiny baby step compared to what is ahead for me, but it is a step in the right direction and it feels just great! Check out this little video of “social […]

So, here I am again in the wee hours of the morning, your “Encore Career Entrepreneur”~ wannabe blogger ~thinking about what it is that keeps me going and going (kind of like the EverReady bunny) until these kinds of hours so often.

It is wonderful to know that if I'm feeling inspired, it is […]

(Okay, you don't have to love it, but it really does help if you accept what is actually happening!) Don't take things personally! (Most of the time, it really is NOT personal at all and taking it personally keeps us locked into a negative feedback loop that helps no one, especially us.) It is really up to us to figure out who we are at our core and accept that, and then figure out how to get that message out there to the people who […]

So, I was listening to a Gary Vee YouTube talk. I enjoy him. He's obviously VERY smart and kind of a wise guy too, and he's funny. His language is a little over the top for me, so I'll try to distill this without all the “F” words he uses when he talks and get the meat of the ideas for you. Gary Vaynerchuk's 10 rules for success: Bet on your strengths and don't bother at all about what you are not good at. Focus on what you are good at and put all of your time, effort, energy, and […]

My Private Facebook Group – Katie's Encore Career Entrepreneurs If you are interested in an encore career as an entrepreneur, you might have no idea at all where to start. I sure didn't when I got started! Here is a bonus YouTube video addressing that very dilemma that I recorded a little while back. Take a listen HERE I've set up a private Facebook group as a place where my “peeps” can go for encouragement, tips and tricks, to ask questions and find answers, and to share with other like minded persons. My private Facebook group is by approval only. […]

New Video Reveals Secrets Of Making Money Well Into Retirement If you are retired, or looking at retirement in the near future, you are probably wondering how you will ever be able to afford to retire. Generations before ours anticipated working at one company their whole career and being “taken care of” by that company via a company owned retirement plan. Now baby boomers are facing a huge financial crisis as the privatization of retirement plans has not quite worked out as anticipated or promised. We need new solutions that go far beyond what 401k and 403b or IRA plans are actually […]
