Free Lunch Anyone?

Nullum Gratuitum Prandium~There is no free lunch!

Seth Godin posted an article today, which is so simply transparent and blatant in its content, I’m amazed he posted it.

Of course he prefaces the article with:

You probably don’t need to read this, but I bet you know people who do.

Truthfully, we all need to read that article. It applies on all levels of doing business on the internet. Not just with the “instant” millionaire schemes. There are all sorts of folks out there, more than willing to take your money in exchange for doing you some favor, showing you some secret and helping you become the next “A” lister in your chosen niche.

If you’re out to make money with your website or blog, it is doable. Make no mistake about it.

However, and this is important, it won’t happen overnight! It is going to take some time, a lot of work, a healthy dose of  substanative writing, serious guerilla networking, and some honest, transparent conversation from you.

If you’re confused about how to start, ask questions. I for one am available to answer your questions openly and honestly. Read that again, honestly. Feel free to contact me at any time. I won’t always get back to you immediately, but I will get back to you and we will talk.

Ning Rings The Bell For Freedom

This week’s Remarkable Blogger© is a unique fellow. While requests from Bird On A Wire for an interview went unanswered, we did discover a few tidbits about David at MoneyNing.com.

David tells us why he’s driven to be wealthy. From a middle class family who immigrated to Canada, without his father (who was afraid he couldn’t secure employment), in the late 80’s; David talks of his mother going without “anything that was not a necessity for 1487 straight days”. His father, in those days was an Engineer by training, and opted to take an Operations Specialist position to better his salary and improve his family’s way of life. Now, here in the states when we think of Engineers, we think of highly paid specialists in Electrical, Civil or Mechanical fields. Things in Hong Kong just weren’t that way.

While David apparently missed out on time with his Dad growing up, he learned to savor what time he had with him and learn from the man a great deal about what it means to be a husband and a father.

Money Ning, the blog and the man, have a few unique goals.

I have decided to be as wealthy as I can be. My short to-do list includes:

• Earn as much as I can.
• Save as much as I can, as early as I can.
• Learn as much as I can on growing my nest egg and how to apply it.

This blog allows me to do all three in some way.

Regular posts from David include tips on personal finance, frugal living, personal happiness, and a map of his progress to self made wealth. I almost always find a tip in his posts that helps me through my day. David also sponsors some of the best contests in the personal finance realm. He recently married the love of his life and celebrated on his blog by giving away $1500. Money Ning is more than the sum of its parts and definitely worth adding to your daily reader.

Thanks David, for being a Remarkable Blogger© ! From our view, you’re well on your way to personal financial freedom! Keep on ringing that bell!

How To Freeze Your Credit Report

Red Tape Chronicles has a good guide for how to set up a credit report freeze at each of the three major credit bureaus. A freeze means no one can access your credit report unless you “thaw” your report. This means no new credit cards, loans, or mortgages, either by you, or by a potential identity thief.
