Mr. No Monkey Offers Strikes Back

[ 20 ] September 3, 2010

Where did the week go?  I have no idea how time moves so quickly.  I still can’t believe we’re in September.

Time Blocking and Prioritizing

[ 13 ] August 31, 2010

Today’s post isn’t about real estate investing….or coffee!
There’s a lot going on with both businesses, but today I want to talk about making room for things that are important.

[ 10 ] August 15, 2010

Hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend!  This weekend was “Tax Free Weekend” in the retail stores which means that it was a horrendous weekend for me to choose to go last minute back to school shopping for my daughter (she’s going into 4th grade…can’t believe it).  Sure we saved a few bucks, but I would’ve [...]
