In the theme of the Money, Motivation & More podcast – this episode falls into the “Money” or “Motivation” category – depending on your perspective. In “Too Much Stuff” I’m sharing thoughts about why storage lockers are a massive growth industry. I’m also sharing a conversation I had on WE Talk Money with Gordon Stein – author of the excellent “CashFlow Cookbook” (https://cashflowcookbook.com/) where Gordon shares with us the true cost of storage lockers. It ties nicely into Episode #23 as well, as a continuation of spiralling consumption, how to avoid it. I hope you enjoy it. As always, “thank […]

In “On Social Media We’re All Rich” I’m sharing thoughts about why and how social media distorts our concepts about our financial well being. Can paying less attention to what we see there can be better for our us? Ok, I’m not advocating cancelling your Facebook account (well… I wouldn’t be against it… but I get it…). In fact, I said that in conversation with Doug Hoyes on his “Debt Free in 30” podcast. I’ve included a snippet of our conversation as part of today’s message. Why do I think this is important? Report after report shows financial anxiety at the […]

In “What Do We Want? Money!” I’m sharing thoughts about creating a more successful financial future, ignoring the FOMO (that’s Fear Of Missing Out for those of you over the age of 40-something…), determining what our first steps should be and I share a couple of key components that have worked for me. Please don’t think I have this all figured out, I’m still a work in progress, I can and do make financial mistakes, but I try to make fewer of them and of a less significant impact as I move forward. Didn’t stop me from buying juicer though. […]

In “Be It Resolved” I thought I’d kickoff 2019 by talking about goals versus resolutions. I know, you’re thinking I’m going to say “goals good!” and “resolutions bad!”. Actually there is much more to it than that. In today’s episode I’m likely to only scratch the surface of the topic. That’s ok too – that’s why there will be future episodes (I hope…). As the clock ticked over to start 2019 we are once again on the verge a new period – a new year. I’d like to drag your thoughts back to January 1, 2018 for a moment, if […]

In “Is Anybody Out There” I’m attempting to address a question from a listener who wanted to know what being a home-based entrepreneur / writer/ speaker is like. The Pros & the Cons. When I made the decision to give up corporate life, being alone was perhaps one of the hardest things to get used to. I was prepared for the rigours of running my own business (not really, some days I’m still not), but I wasn’t aware of how much time I would have to spend by myself. Alone. During my corporate days, socialization was as easy as sticking my head above the cubicle […]
