As I talked about yesterday, my friend Corbett Barr’s new course Affiliate Marketing for Beginners is now available! I use this site to bring stories of people living their everyday lives outside of the realm of the typical office drone 9-5 worker. I bring the stories of exceptional lifestyles being lived by everyday people. Most [...]
My friend Tammy Strobel over at Rowdy Kittens was featured in a New York Times article over the weekend for simplifying her life and getting rid of most of her stuff. Tammy simplified her life down to less than 100 possessions, sold her cars and the rest of the unnecessary stuff, and found she was much happier. I shared [...]
