Who doesn’t, right? Even the economy seems to minutely be recovering, it is still a long ways off from getting more from the almighty dollar. The sales industry gets a worse rap than it deserves–mainly because of all those pushy people don’t understand the phrase “No, thank you”. But within that industry, you can make the money you need to make ends meet or to have money to play with. If you are considering this industry, why not sell something that can sell itself and something that is worth it?
This country is finally becoming a little more health conscious. And as a result, the masses are in need of a way to get their nutrition in one easy spot. Exfuze is a company that sells a health drink filled with antioxidants and healthy fruit juices, including:
- Fucoidan
- Goji
- Blueberries
- Mangosteen
- Seabuckthorn
- Noni fruit
- Gac
Exfuze is currently looking for distributors of their new health drink. This is where the money comes into play. By selling Exfuse’s health drink, you can have the extra money that you’ve been wanting. And why not sell something that will make a difference in people’s lives.

without spending tons of money. It is possible. You just have to know where to shop and what to shop for. I’ve recently become a fan of wholesale shopping. And I don’t mean for food. But there are actually places that sell wholesale clothes, shoes, accessories, and jewelry. You can get fantastic clothes and even better prices. And no one even has to know that you bought it wholesale. Now we can all pity those who pay full price for everything they wear. One day they’ll learn…

Whether for your business or for personal use, there is one thing everyone should look into: data backup. Because most of our lives revolve around the computer and digital documents, it is essential to protect them. Person after person loses everything on their computer due to natural disasters, thefts, and just general computer problems and failures. And if your important documents haven’t been stored off-site, you can never get those things back. So, to protect yourself, look into some form of backup software. Believe me; you’ll thank yourself later.

Have you ever seen or heard of new ideas, new innovations and thought why you didn’t think of that? It happens to me quite a bit. When they debut, they seem so brilliant, but so obvious at the same time. It makes me just want to smack my head and say “How simple. Of course!” But alas, I have not yet had an epiphany. So here are my top three “Why Didn’t I Think Of That” list:
- Customized Vitamins: Code Nutrition offers customized vitamins based on your DNA. This is brilliant because we all kn0w and have heard over and over again that genetics have a lot to do with our health. All you have to do is send in an at-home cheek swab and they will start analyzing your genetic makeup. Innovative and new…and I didn’t think of it.
- Amazon: Buying books without having to go to the bookstore. Think about it: no line, no wait (except for shipping, of course). I wonder if the inventor of Amazon.com knew that it would take off the way that it has.
- Gummy Bears: Yeah, I said it. You know you wish you could have thought of that too. And now it is a favorite treat of children and adults alike. I do sometimes wonder just how much the gummy bear empire is worth. But maybe I should just find something more productive to think about.

I seem to be constantly flip-flopping between being in control of my debt and drowning in it. And quite frankly, I am tired of it. So, I’ve made a new resolve: I am going to get out of debt once and for all! I know it will take work and dedication, but it will be better in the end. I am going to pay off my credit cards, my school and car loans, and then look into some accelerated mortgage programs.
One by one I’ll pay these things off and put that extra money towards the next thing to pay off. It is like my new year’s resolution…but in July.
I imagine that once I pay off all my debt, I will feel exactly like this:

It is important to shop around for the best pricing. My little sister has just announced that she is getting married pretty soon–probably sooner than she should be getting married. But that is another story. Because of how soon the marriage is scheduled, I have been put in charge of finding the right Utah caterer to make this the perfect wedding for my baby sister.
I just have to keep reminding myself that I don’t have to settle for the first caterer that I come across. I can take my time and really take a good look around. And I have already found that by letting the caterers know that I am looking around, they have offered me better deals than they would have otherwise.

One thing that all businesses should consider (but hardly any of them put this into real consideration) is on hold music. Many businesses think this is trivial, but in all reality, it is crucial to great customer phone service. Try using something that is entertaining and will make the time that your customers are on hold just fly by. You definitely don’t want to have complete silence–honestly, who likes that? There are even specific companies that specialize in creating customized, entertaining on hold messages. All you have to do is ask for a simple on hold music quote–and you’re set!

A couple of posts ago, I mentioned that I had recently read up on a money merge account that will help you with an early mortgage payoff. Since then, I’ve been doing everything I can to find out as much as I can about it. I thought I’d share. Here is a great website that has tons of information and the ins and outs of having a money merge account.

I am completely and utterly ecstatic! I just got my economic stimulus money yesterday. Ever since I heard about the economic stimulus payments, I’ve actually been adding to a long list of things that I will buy. Because of the fact that my home renovation projects had to be put on hold because of the horrible economy, something from Insinkerator is first on my list–maybe an instant hot water dispenser. Yes! That sounds good.
After that, I am going to buy some clothes, of course.
And who knows? Maybe I’ll be semi-responsible and make an extra payment on my credit card.
What are you going to spend yours on?

I recently came across some awesome information about how to pay off your mortgage quicker–and it doesn’t have to do with making three monthly payments. I do believe it is relatively new here in the United States. It is called a money merge account. Basically, it takes every single penny that isn’t being used and puts it towards your mortgage. It is making your money work for you. So now every time you see a penny in a parking lot…pick it up and think of what a whole bunch of those could do to your mortgage!
