Make Each Day Your Masterpiece

Those who have followed this blog for a long time know that I don’t have many personal heroes. There are a lot of people who have valuable things to say, but there are very few people who have reached such a trusted level with me that I tend to put extra value on the things they say just because that person said them. One of those few people was John Wooden, who passed away this past week (I mentioned it briefly in my reader mailbag on Monday). A few years ago, I wrote about how John Wooden had taught me… Read the whole article...

The Public Humiliation Diet: Five Things Worth Learning About Your Money and Improving Yourself

One of the best articles on self-improvement I’ve ever read popped up recently on the Deadspin blog. Titled The Public Humiliation Diet (note: some language NSFW), it describes how Drew Magary, the author of the post, lost sixty pounds in five months without doing anything too incredibly radical. He just implemented twelve simple rules in his life, and here they are, in summary (the whole article is worth a read, though): 1. I bought a scale. 2. I weighed myself daily. 3. I posted that weight daily on Twitter. 4. I never ate after dinner. 5. I didn’t snack except… Read the whole article...

Adam Baker and Unautomate Your Finances

I am not sure when I first ran across Adam and his blog Man vs. Debt. All I remember was how impress I was with Adam and his story. I knew then that his blog will become an influential force in personal finance blogosphere. And it didn’t take long before Adam’s humble little blog becomes a top-tier personal finance destination. Recently, Adam surprised me again with the launch of his Unautomate Your Finances Guide — somehow calling it an eBook just doesn’t cut it. Once I learned about this, I asked Adam for an interview, so that I can share… Read the whole article...

The New Frugality: Consume Less, Save More, Live Better

By Lynn Truong Last week on Patt Morrison I heard Chris Farrell talking about "The New Frugality" and the trend towards a sustainable lifestyle. (I actually called in and mentioned Wise Bread -- you can hear me on the segment.) I was stoked that he was familiar with Wise Bread (really, we're on his blog roll!). After the show, I read his new book, The New Frugality: How to Consume Less, Save More, and Live Better, and reached out to Chris about doing an interview. I felt this topic was extremely relevant for us at Wise Bread. When we started… Read the whole article...

Want to earn more money? How to find your first 3 paying clients

Want to earn more money? How to find your first 3 paying clients 35 comments — written on January 21st, 2010 Maybe it’s uncouth to say, but most of the advice on earning money via freelancing is terrible. That’s because when it comes to finding clients, typical advice goes something like this: “YEAH! Just start blogging! Create great content and someone’s bound to come along someday!” “Make a website and do some SEO on it so you always get free traffic!” “Do something unique and eye-catching, like creating a viral video to get lots of viewers and show off… Read the whole article...

Ask the Readers: Hope in a New Year? (Chance to Win $10)

By Linsey Knerl As everyone relaxes from a whirlwind of holiday activity, cleans their houses and settles back into their regular routine, many are looking ahead to a bright future in 2010.  Others aren't so convinced of the new year's promises, as the job market may be bleak in their area or tax time signals new financial difficulties.  With each passing year, however, we like to reflect upon the old and look hopefully toward the new, and this year is no different.  What about you?  Are you hopeful for what 2010 may bring?  Are you scared?  Do you prefer to just… Read the whole article...
