I decided to do some research on Bestsellers' and went to the "new" section at the local library. I found a delightful book written by Jennifer Barrett called "The Smart Cookies' Guide to Making More Dough."It was fun and practical for everyday women and it really amused me that I could find similarities between one of the girls in the book and myself. The many range of ideas on how to make money were incredible. They also tell you how to invest your money and how to save a dollar here and there for those "big ticket" items that you really want to have.
I really liked the chapter about "How to live life the way that you want" I turned to it right away. For this has been my goal and philosophy for 2008, to do something different for once in my life! I like the idea of making more money. Lord knows we can always use a few extra dollars here and there. The girls also give ideas on how to spend that hard-earned cash and get the best deals on the items of choice.
You can see that they did an enormous amount of research on the various websites that you can click on for instant information about topics regarding financial decisions and credit reports and a writer's tips section and how they changed careers.
The part about changing careers was really encouraging to me. I have left my ten-year career of working in call centers to developing the skills required to become a freelance writer and photographer. It's been a battle at times to stick to the plan but I'm happy to report when you take the time and initiative and really focus on what you want out of life you do reach your goals in a matter of time and consequence.
I had to add consequence because now I'm saying if I had only known what this would lead too I would have done it differently. It's been said by almost everyone I've ever encountered and overheard while listening to the conversations around me in a coffee shop or on a bus. I wish I hadn't of done that, I wish I had done it this way instead.
Many a time as humans we regret the decisions of the past yet if we were to go back in time like James Stewart did in "It's a Wonderful Life" we would see that maybe all those decisions we made weren't so bad after all. What I mean is this, sure maybe some of the things didn't work out but think of the people you met and the other things you did while obtaining that goal. Did it change your course in life in any way shape or form?
To be inspired by a book that talks about going out on the limb of life and changing your career and how you do everything from day to day and to see that it turned out a success for these five women is very uplifting. So if your feeling depressed and out of sorts because things just aren't going so well in your everyday life, I encourage you to pick up this book and enjoy a good read! You won't regret it and I will guarantee that you will learn something new and different and that in itself is refreshing to the brain!
