Margie, slow down take a breath

Margie,

This is going to be a long post so grab a cup of coffee and one of maamaw brownies and have a seat. ^..^

Slow down. Take a breath and start to think like the successful business woman you are. For the time being QUIT buying stuff that tells you how to make money on the interent. Most of it is crap (excuse my french) but that is what it is.

You must have had all sorts of sales people coming into your store trying to sell you stuff for you to resell. You didn't buy everything they had, use the same sense that you used then, to do business on the interent. If it smells funny, it is, walk away.

There is NO get rich quick formula just because it is the internet. The hardest thing to do is to drive traffic to a web site. It takes time to learn how to do that.

In one of the posts you mentioned that you did not want to take disability. Did you pay into disability insurance? Here in California it is part of our wage deductions. If you paid into it TAKE IT. You deserve it, it will also help your state of mind to have some money coming in no matter where it comes from. If you feel to proud to do that, swallow your pride and apply ASAP for what is rightly owed you.

Next thing to do is to look around your house and gather all the stuff you don't need and sell it on Ebay. The first things I sold on ebay was stuff from around the house that was no longer needed and made almost $400 in a week. You can do it to. Get a free copy of the bible of selling on ebay written by Syndey Johnston the so called queen of auctions. The 200 plus page ebook used to sell for about $25 but now give it is free. She takes you from being a rookie to being a veteran. Download a free copy at bottom of the page at (that is my affiliate link, to go there without using my link just remove the /peb.html)

Send back the Moreland book, you don't need that right now, plus it had a bad review on the Warrior Forum. You have to decide what to sell before you start placing ads.

Before buying anything from anybody on the net do a whois search on their web site. See if there is a name and a phone number you can call. If they don't put their name or phone number on the registration of their web site what are they hiding?

Use your woman's intuition, it gives women a much better ability to do business then us guys. Use it, if something feels wrong, walk away.

Make a budget/list of all the money you are spending, cut out ALL things that are not necessary. Most of us have a good amount of money we spend each month on stuff we DO NOT need. NEED is the key word. NEED NEED, do I/we REALLY NEED THIS. If not stop buying it. For example cable or satellite TV is not REALLY NEEDED it is a luxury.

I don't know if you have kids but if you do sit them down and explain to them what is going on and how you are now in battle mode. Explain to them that you have been forced into this new adventure so lets make the best of it. Kids can come up with great ideas on how to make money, let them help you, work as a family. Kids are so smart these days that they will sense it anyway, so explain to them that they can help out just by cutting unnecessary expenses.

The first project to work on together is the Ebay sales of stuff no longer needed.

Call me if you want, my number is on my web site. Keep the faith you can do it.
