What way you can get the professional debt relief service?

Written on June 7, 2011 by admin

Getting out of debt is the most attractive and popular financial goal for many people today and companies supplying debt reduction services are considered major source of benefits for debtors. As the problem of debt becomes more personal, it is time to understand what steps you can take to overcome it, as debt reduction is really apt to get out of debt. Fortunately, debt reduction and relief can be achieved with a little help and guidance. There are several reasons for the increasing problems in personal debt. Among them would be higher unemployment, worldwide crisis, easy credit card ownership and lower pay. Without using the professional service of debt reduction, your debts tend to worsen, leading to potentially change consequences. Without the proper assistance, it is possible to get into a situation where your income is not sufficient to cover the cost of servicing your debt.

The inability to repay debts and loans could lead to cars being taken and at the end of the spectrum, foreclosed homes. Read more…

The GRS Garden Project: May 2011 Update

Written on June 3, 2011 by Cheryl Rankins

In my mind, Oregon has mild springs: plenty of rain, sure, but also lots of sunshine and hints of the summer to come. Since we started the garden project, though, that just hasn’t been the case. Our springs have mostly been cool and moist — just like our winters.

May was again — surprise! — cool and moist. There were some sunny days, and our rainfall was around average, but the temperature was much cooler than normal. (Well, long-term normal, not recent normal.) Still, our garden isn’t as stunted as it has been in years past.

Dan Miller on Debt, Life Missions, and the Changing Workplace

Written on June 3, 2011 by Cheryl Rankins

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Dan Miller of 48Days.net.  Dan was kind enough to devote several hours of his time to the Debt Free Adventure audience addressing the subjects of debt and career specifically focusing on breaking barriers while pursuing your passion and succeeding in the changing workplace environment.

Dan is a pioneer in the Life Coach movement, the founder of the 48Days.Net community, and two time best selling author who has helped millions of people transition from working jobs they hate, to leading successful, mission-focused work lives.  Dan is also a joyful Christian, father, grandfather, and successful Eaglepreneur.  Find more of Dan by reading his bio, reading his 48Days blog, and by reading his bestselling and powerful books: 48 Days To The Work You Love and No More Dreaded Mondays.

As an added bonus Dan is offering an incredible resource to readers for free his eBook 48 Low Cost Business Ideas.  Make sure you download and read the book its packed with unique and profitable business ideas that have very low start up costs.

Folks, this challenge and piece of advice from Dan is crucial and very powerful.  If you take nothing else away from this interview article be sure to spend a few hours contemplating the wisdom he gives below.

Dan advises us to:

Look inward first.  Take 2 hours to look internally and say, what are my unique skills and abilities, what are my personality tendencies, what are those recurring dreams that I keep having? From that you should be able to create a clear focus and then decide, what kind of work embraces all of those things that I now know about myself? That is the starting point, and that has been the freeing process for a whole lot of people that I have had the privileged of intersecting lives with over the last few years.

If you are ready for a change and want to take positive action toward that change take Dans challenge seriously and go do this now.

Please enjoy it was a great joy to interview Dan and I hope to collaborate with him more in the future.

Please excuse the quality of the sound and video it was my first attempt at recording a Skype call.  I wish the quality were better but cannot change it now.  I promise the quality will be better in future videos but also wanted to share this wise quote on the subject of publishing less than perfect content

Your Money This Week: Hackers and Low Stock Values Overshadow Free Doughnuts

Written on June 2, 2011 by Milton Reyes

The recession may be officially over, but Americans are still hurting financially. The Department of Labor reports hiring was down last month, and the disappointing news had a ripple effect on the economy as the stock market fell this week. The good news is it’s national doughnut day, and who doesn’t love doughnuts?

Identity theft has been a concern for as long as people have used the internet for financial transactions, which is why most would expect a corporate giant like Sony to have top of the line security protecting sensitive information. Apparently not.

Sony was recently hacked for the second time–the hackers call themselves LulzSec or the Lulz Boat and claim they used a SQL injection attack to compromise the personal information belonging to more than one million users. That information includes home addresses, e-mail addresses, passwords, birth dates and more. What’
