The money WILL follow

Since today is my father’s birthday I want to dedicate this post to him!  He has said this to me since I was a little girl, and it stuck like glue!

“If you do what you love to do, the money will follow YOU!”

Having money is the main motivator for many people and their career of choice.  As my father (a very successful entrepreneur) has taught me, that idea is wrong! Money should NEVER be the motivator, because at the end of the day will the career make you happy?  Will you wake up EVERY SINGLE DAY and want to do it?  For the rest of your life you will live doing this profession.

My father over and over installed in my brain you must love what you do, when you do.. you will do it better, stronger, harder, more passionately, & because of that the money will just fall into your hands.  Isn’t that what we all want?  I sure as hell do!  If you want money to follow you, do something your passionate about.  Promising you will live a healthy, fulfilled, and richer life!

Christmas Decorating Ideas

It is about that time of year to start bringing the boxes down from the attic, and getting ready to decorate the home for the holidays! Sometimes over the years of purchasing decorations, using all of them can look like holiday chaos on the home. This year, why not try a monochromatic theme!

Monday Motivation: Healthy Energy Sources!

Monday Motivation: Healthy Energy Sources!

Most people looking for energy throughout the day will instinctively grab a coffee, soda, or an energy drink. While these are easy quick fix, these options are usually loaded tons of sugar that no one really needs. Next time you are feeling sluggish, add some of these healthy foods to your diet instead!

Replacing your daily soda or latte with an apple or some almonds will not only give you a great boost of energy, but it will also aid you in weight loss! Many of these foods are easily transported so you can bring them to work or out with you with no fuss! Everyone is looking to live a healthier lifestyle and this is such a simple way to improve your diet.
