Still, I left my job and replaced my income in 19 days.
At this point I’d been to…
Illinois will crush affiliate marketing if you don't act now.
A few days ago I posted a warning that the state of Illinois is about to pass a law that adds sales tax to online commerce if an affiliate in the transaction lives in Illinois.
The resolution has passed both the House and the Senate in the Illinois legislature.
An insider has told me that emailing the governor will do no good. If you did so, nobody’s reading it. Here’s what I want you to do instead:

A lot of folks are cynical about new years resolutions, but you should set them. Zero goals = zero personal accountability. Nobody ever drifts into a major accomplishment.
Planet earth is FORCING you into entrepreneurship
Long-time Renaissance Club member Tom Meloche mentioned this to me the other day. He’s absolutely spot-on. The Big Bad World Out There has a big giant buggy whip and it’s driving people into doing something for themselves.
Do you remember a time when a concept known as ‘job security’ actually existed? I’m not sure anyone even uses that term anymore.

12 Days of Christmas Day 12: Boldness and Faith — even Romance! — in the Face of Disaster
My friend and neighbor Joy Sherfey has a close relative, Lisa Fox, who’s been to surgery for the second time for a brain tumor. Lisa is a 39 year old mother of young children, and this has not been a fun time for anybody at the Fox household.
