We're Bailing Ourselves Out!

Well, I'm am excited out my upcoming financial seminar! In the process of planning this event, I've met some wonderful and interesting people. I'm driven by their stories of financial triumph and how many of them have decided to take the reigns when it comes to their money.

For instance, Doug, who said he wanted to go back to school, but didn't want to go into debt to do it. We talked about him only taking one class per semester and picking up an additional job for a few hours in the evenings to cover the cost. This was doable since his classes would only be one night per week.

I've been able to encourage others as well, who aren't quite there yet, who don't quite see the light at that end of the tunnel. Just keep pushing forward, continue with your diligence and one day you'll look up and the pile of bills won't be so high, the creditor calls won't be so frequent and you'll have some money left over when the dust settles.

Don't let debt and monthly bills steal your joy or peace. Develop a plan, stick to it and determine not to be stressed.

For those of you in the Metro Detroit Area, come on out tomorrow night, I'll be discussing nuts and bolts solutions to managing your money. Joining me will be:

Tanya Thornton, President of Thornton Insurance Agency http://www.farmersagent.com/tthornton1/

DeShawn Johnson, President of Black e-Commerce

For all my out-of-towners... don't worry... I'm coming to a city near YOU!
