Eventual Millionaire, Man Vs. Debt, Smart Passive Income

I wanted to share a note of thanks and acknowledge some bloggers who serve as a real inspiration to me.

Depending on how long you’ve been hanging around my blog, you’ll know that real estate investing is not exactly my passion (*gasp*)….it’s simply one of our chosen strategies for wealth building and generating cashflow.

Achieving financial freedom, debt freedom, and helping others to focus more on their purpose rather than their paychecks by securing multiple streams of income? Now, THAT is my passion (hence Financial Freedom GPS and Diva Money Club)!

That said, I follow plenty of real estate investing blogs, but there are blogs outside of real estate that I absolutely love and and draw inspiration from. I’d like to share some of them with you today because I think if you like my blog, you’ll like these too!

Pat Flynn, SmartPassiveIncome.com

If you’re not following Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income blog, you are really missing out! What I absolutely love about Pat is his creativity, transparency, and obvious high level of integrity.

He’s a family man with a heart to help others and is totally kicking butt when it comes to developing multiple streams of income. The best thing that ever happened to him is that he was laid off from his 9-to-5. (I remember *wishing* that I’d get laid off! LOL!) Anyway, you can learn a ton by hanging out over on his blog.

He has multiple businesses that all run online…and I’m not just talking about affiliate marketing. He has an iPhone app business, niche websites, the Green Exam Academy, coaching, and more. He shares what’s working and what’s not working with ALL of that.

Pat, if you’re reading this, I just want to say THANK YOU for being you and for being such an inspiration!

Bolaji Oyejide, WhoisBolaji.com

Bolaji is one of my dearest friends, the father of my awesome godsons, and has also been my accountability partner for the past few years. I always knew he was meant to be a full-time entrepreneur and God apparently agreed because he kept getting caught up in lay offs in his corporate jobs. (Hmm…there seems to be a running theme here). But seriously…it happened so often that it became a running joke between us.

Anyway, Bolaji’s gifts are helping others build their personal brand (download his free Personal Brand Formula – it kicks butt), writing awesome children’s stories, and coming up with brilliant marketing ideas!

Bolaji, THANK YOU for inspiring me to be the best me I can be and for always motivating me to “up my game.” Loving your blog!

Jaime Tardy, EventualMillionaire.com

Jaime’s blog is relatively new to me (thanks Bolaji for sharing it) and since the day I checked it out a few months ago, I immediately knew it was a blog I wanted to read on a regular basis. Jaime, who is a debt free entrepreneur, business coach, and eventual millionaire (naturally!) conducts some awesome interviews with millionaires that you’re going to want to check out. She also blogs about debt freedom and always seems to have an encouraging word to share as well.

You might be thinking that Jaime got laid off from her job too….no, but she did QUIT her job! You have to check out Jaime’s story…as a former corporate rat racer myself, I LOVED her story: How I Paid Off Over $70,000 in Debt and Quit My Job (make sure to read all 3 parts of the story!).

Jaime, keep up the awesome work on your blog and THANK YOU for sharing so much of yourself as well as gathering so much wisdom from wildly successful entrepreneurs.

Adam Baker, ManVsDebt.com

Adam Baker (he goes by Baker) got my attention right away sometime in the middle of last year with his raw and honest blog posts. The tagline for his blog is “Sell Your Crap. Pay off your debt. Do what you love” which I think is pretty cool. If you’ve never read his blog before, I strongly suggest starting off here.

What’s great about Baker is that he – along with his wife and adorable daughter – truly live life on their own terms. I truly appreciate how freely he shares when things go right as well as when things go…well, not so right…in both personal and business matters. It’s clear that he’s enjoying the journey every step of the way.

My brother-in-law often says “Just do YOU!” so Baker, I just want to THANK YOU for just doing you. It’s an inspiration.

I encourage you to check all of these blogs out and see if they resonate with you as well. The internet is awesome, isn’t it?

P.S. Hope you all have a great remainder of the week and weekend! I’m running behind on my first Quest for Passive Income podcast, but I should have that next week for all of you along with some tips on using social media to build relationships with other real estate investors!

Also, if you know of any other blogs you think I’d love as much as these, I’d love to hear about them!
