7 Effective Ways to Help a Wife Who Has Debt Problems

If you've married a woman with mounting debt, you may be torn as to what to do about it. On the one hand, you don't want to put your foot down and act like you're the big man in charge. But, on the other hand, debt affects you, your credit rating, and your family's future. What's the best way to handle a spouse with debt problems?

1) Look for problems early, and nip them in the bud.

Maybe you didn't notice that she had money problems before you were married, but you should certainly be able to spot them once you're living together. Spending might be a problem - does she have a lot of credit cards, and does she do a lot of shopping with them? This is a major red flag. Other things that can lead to financial disaster are medical bills or car repairs, or if she's simply not bringing enough money into the relationship.

OK ladies it's Valentine's day tomorrow and I know there are mixed emotions.
Included in this blog post on savvy women's tips I want to share some insight
on love and hopefully motivate you to look at your life in a different way.

Bravo!!!! To those of you who are already living this way.

The greatest love to we as Christians is Father God's love as He gave His
only son for us.

I'd like you to remember that, however, I'd also like to focus on you.
Yes, you. In the bible it says to love your neighbor as you love yourself,
however, all too many times that's the problem we don't love ourselves!!
Ladies until we can learn to love ourselves it doesn't matter one bit how
many brothas, fellas you have.

You will probably self sabotage every relationship because you are
counting on the man to fulfill you and "to make you happy!"

You must come to terms with how unique, how special how absolutely
incredible you are. You are a unique one of a kind gift from Father God.
He didn't make robots.

There is a song that was so-o-o-o very instrumental in my learning to
love myself and to feel good about myself. It was a song that Whitney
Houston sang very early in her career and some of the words said
"learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all."

You see when you love yourself you are less inclined to be intimidated
by those with more education, money, followers (smile) than you. A better
car, home, body than you might think that you have. You will be so confident
in who and whose you are that excuse me "none of it matters" enough to stop
or block you.

My gift to you is to challenge you to discover more about you.
Discover your core values, what makes you unique, what your purpose is.
And this savvy woman will help you live a delicious life with no apologies.

Of course I'm going to invite you to connect with me for additional
support on this new journey by either joining my
Breakthrough Mentoring and Coaching program here or attending my preview call and you'll need to register here
for that. We will definitely cover a self discovery component during Breakthrough.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Celebrity Kids - Teen Kids

Celebrities Kids | Celebrity Obsession: Are our teens too star-struck?

Following the lives of teen celebrities such as Taylor Lautner or Miley Cyrus are part of the normal past time for the average teenager today. While on the surface this may sound like the sort of thing we'd expect a young person to be doing with their time, this behavior can also lead to some major psychological issues that have far-reaching effects. In a recent study of adolescents between 11 and 16 years of age, two major categories were identified that pertain to how teens relate to celebrities.

The first category, called "entertainment social celebrity worship", consisted of teens that viewed celebrities as sources of entertainment and talked frequently about celebrity news. This was considered completely normal for the everyday teenager. These teenagers displayed healthy emotional independence. However, the second category called "intense personal celebrity worship" showed teenagers who were seeking a personal connection to the celebrity and often developed an unhealthy obsession. These teens, while trying to go through the normal maturity cycle, seemed to suffer from lower self-esteem and confidence than their peers. Their relationships with family and friends were extremely poor.

So this begs the question, "How can we prevent our teens from becoming too often with the lives of celebrities?" Well, there are a few things that can help. First, teens should be actively involved or engaged in school activities. Teens who have responsibilities such as an after school job or specific household responsibilities have less idle time on their hands. Also, teens should be encouraged to volunteer their time to serve in the community to develop an awareness of others who are less fortunate. Lastly, teens who are encouraged to have a spiritual foundation often have a healthier self-confidence and thus feel less inclined to seek out celebrities to idolize.

YOU ARE NOT THE CEO!

For many years I have studied the direct sales industry. And it makes melaugh every time someone tells me I'm the CEO of my company.Hellooo...It's not my company!!

I have a few questions to ask you and this will confirm you are not theCEO.

Can you change the logo at your free will?

When you signed the contract, were the guidelines and policies somethingyou put in place?

Why are you addressed as the affiliate, associate, or representativeoppose to Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, ChiefFinancial Officer or even President?

Billions of people become reps. of direct sales companies by theseconds. I actually love the direct sales industry and the system theyhave in place. There are so many millionaires and billionaires that wereborn from following the systems that were put in place. Just fromduplicating the successful ASSOCIATES before them.

However, it's not your own business!!! You are simply representingsomeone else company to help them sell their products or service. Youare assisting the CEO of those companies live their dreams. If youfollow the system, be self motivated, and focused you and also live outyour dreams.
Just a reminder ..... You are not the CEO!

Do you know their are limits? If you wake up tomorrow with a new ideafor a product or service that you believe will take that company tohigher heights, can you just call a meeting with your board of directorsor advisory to have this new big idea implemented in what the companyalready has in place? Let me answer that...NO!
Because you are not the CEO!

Do you want to be the CEO? Start your own business.

Become a Business Owner and figure out a way that the company you areaffiliate with product or services and be an enhancement to YOURcompany.

If you do not want to the responsibility of running your own company, noproblem. Just know your position and don't let anyone play mind gameswith you.

The other day I was speaking to two very dear friends, who both are indirect sales. These queens are independent associates. Neither one ofthem are active with these companies. They gave me many a few reasonswhy they are not active. From listening to them speak, I feel that theyare not active because it does not fall in line with either one of theirpurposes. They were not passionate enough to build up their directsales business.

One of the queens she is a business consultant. Now to me as a businessconsultant her company could benefit from the services that her directsales company offered. I recommended she added the services to her lineof services. It gave her company more value.

By the end of the conversation, she really seen how she can take bothcompanies to another level without being overwhelmed.

As the CEO you can change the rules. You can change the logo.

The purpose of writing this message at 2:30am is just to bringawareness to those of you who say you are the CEO of someone else directsales company.

YOU ARE NOT THE CEO!!!

What is it? Passion. I don’t know how many women I’ve had a chance to
talk to, counsel, coach and mentor who often tell me I don’t have a
passion or they might say I have many things that I like but no passion
for any of them. And then some just simple ask how can I discover my
passion.

Finding your passion yields turbo-charged success.

"Follow your passion, and success will follow you." ~Arthur Buddhold

I’veoften told women that knowing your passion will fuel your motivation
and give you incredible energy. It also pushes you through crisis and
allows you to focus in the midst of crisis or any other time of your
life as mentioned in my special report “How to stay focused in crisis.!”

Knowing your passion and living your passion will attract your ideal clients to you.

Takea look at the word passion here a : ardent affection : love b : a
strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or
concept c : sexual desire d : an object of desire or deep interest .

I'dlike to reference b : a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some
activity, object, or concept and d : an object of desire or deep
interest. Meriam webster dictionary


We all have passion and it may need to be discovered, re-discovered or renewed.

Ifyou don’t know your passion or need to renew your passion don’t give
up. There are a few things you can do. I’ll mention a couple here.

Takesome time to reflect, go back to when you were a child and answer what
was that one thing that gave you excitement when you thought of it?

What makes you come alive?


Ifyou're looking to renew your passion you must first take inventory and
answer the questions above. Next recommit to living your best empowered
life and that includes not settling for anything less than anabundant life. Once you discover or rediscover and commit, it's up to you to take inventory of the resources
around you that will enable to follow your passion.


There are many other elements involved, however, the information I've shared here will give you a start.

Want to learn more about the exciting juicy manifestation of empowerment and success to be realized by discovering or renewingyour passion and living on purpose? Be sure to make it to my FREE
preview call "Quick and easy ways to discover your passion, purpose and realize a juicy manifestation of over the top empowering success!" Click here to secure your spot now. This call will
