Post #1
For some of us, life can be hard. You can get knocked down, have everything taken away, and when the dust settles you have to stand back up - sometimes with nothing more than a "lesson learned" to show for it.
But no matter where you are in life, you always have the gift of Choice. You can either plod along with life as it is, or you can make an effort to change things. Even if you can't always control where you end up, you can ALWAYS make the effort to point yourself in the right direction.
Like it or hate it, for most of us money is a requirement to be able to function in our society. It follows, then, that part of your efforts to keep yourself pointed in the right direction should include attention to your finances. True: having a lot of money can't buy happiness. But also true: a lack of it sucks. Some people are trying to make sure they can put food on the table, while others may simply want to pad their vacation savings... But no matter your situation, nearly anyone could appreciate some extra cash.
So, here's the game plan. I'm going to start a year-long project and I invite anyone interested to join me. Over the span of 1 year, I'm going to see how much money can be generated starting with only $1. Or, as I like to call the project: One Slice of Cheddar.
It may sound crazy - but I know from experience that it can work. Modest beginnings combined with a sprinkle of focused effort CAN end up influencing lives. Two years ago I started with free stuff and slowly - with a few mistakes along the way - it has morphed into an eBay store that grossed $17,000 in sales last year. (I have since given the store to my grandmother, so I'm looking to start anew!)
This project was born out of a desire to inspire action. People are amazing creatures, and we're all capable of more than we could ever imagine - provided we make the choice to get TRY. I want us to feel like we can take control... do something (or do more) to help get ourselves to where we want to be. We all have different destinations in mind, but for all of us part of the journey includes dealing with money. Let's make a little cash, have some fun doing it, and see if we can end up making our lives even just a LITTLE better in the end.
