What Are You Asking of Life Single Mom?
I came across this poem that Napoleon Hill included in the original edition of Think and Grow Rich:
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.”
~anonymous
What wage are you asking of life? Have you been asking and expecting too little? Just because you are a single mom, have been down on your “luck” and seem to struggle for the very basics of life, you don’t have to continue down this path. It’s time to start asking for more and expecting more.
The best way to do this is to start setting goals. Start simply but don’t hesitate to ask for big things. I am more than happy to show you how and share with you how life has been paying me big time. It’s no gimmick or sham, but through desire, determination, and belief I have reached too many goals to count.

Rich Single Momma Has Gone Mad! She’s Giving Away the Farm!
I am declaring 2009 as my Year of Giving. One of my favorite bible verses is Luke 6:38. It tells me that when I give I will get back even more, so much more that I won’t be able to hold it all.
When I give I am making deposits into the universal bank account. By helping others I help myself. At first glance it seems scary to give and expect nothing in return from the person I am giving to. Giving from the overflow in my life teaches me generosity and self-sacrifice. This is the only way I can truly reach my full potential.
You might agree that as a single mother I do enough giving.

Happy New Year! Design a New Life
Greeting to all my single mom friends! We made it into a new year and there is so much in store for us all. I am excited about my future and have been planning and planning out what I will accomplish this year. Have you been doing the same? I hope so.
It’s not enough to hope and wish that things will change in your life this year. You have to make the plans and make the opportunities. I think we’ve been conditioned to think that the wishing and hoping will change things but in reality it won’t. You have to know what you want then plan for it.

I just came across this annoucement on one of the social networks that I belong to.

“The US Census Bureau has announced they are hiring for Census Takers/Supervisors. The rate of pay is $18.00 per hour. Anyone interested should apply at the U.S. Census Bureau or link to http://www.census.gov/2010censusjobs/index.php or call 1-866-861-2010 to sign up for testing.”

Design Your Destiny
It’s the end of the year and like many people I am doing a lot of reflection on my life. It’s nothing depressing or anything like that because I have had an incredible year. This time of reflection is meant to help me decide what direction I want my life to take in 2009. What will I do that is life changing; will I go some place that I’ve never been before, who will I meet? The cool thing is that I get to choose the direction I want my life to take.

Sidetracked Single Mom: Organizing to Focus on Financial Empowerment
This is the story of my life. I think I have ADD because it never fails…I could be doing one thing and the next thing I know I am off on a tangent with something else. My mind works at 100 M.P.H. even when I am sleeping. I wake up thinking about the next thing I have to do.
So I’ve begun my journey of getting focused and getting over being sidetracked. The first thing I did was to go out and buy a planner.

Pimp Your Kids: How to Get Your Kids in on the Money Making Action
If you have cute and/or talented kids you could make a lot off of them. Every time you look in the newspaper, company catalogs, store flyers, or magazines you see pictures of amazingly cute kids.

Getting your kids in pictures is a great way to make money. It sounds horrible if you think about it too much but

We are living in a time when anyone can become an entrepreneur and make money on the web. Blogging is one of many ways to do this and is one of the easiest ways to bring in some mad money. I get asked all the time, “What is a blog and how do I start one?” The next question is, “how can I make money just writing about my life on a website?”
The most important question is, “what will I talk or write about?” For single moms the topics are endless. You can talk about your struggles and triumphs.

Side Hustle Series: Sell Your Body
I am always on the look out for ways to make money. I firmly believe in having multiple streams of income, because if one dries up you have other sources to fall back on.
So I visit Craigslist.org often to see what is on the jobs site, especially the ETC. section. There are a lot of interesting things there and that is where I find many focus group and survey opportunities.
Egg Donors Wanted
Recently there have been quite few ads for egg donors. Yes there are companies that pay you for your eggs, as in ovaries.

Get your life right in 2009
