I Own 100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollars!

I am the proud owner of 100 Trillion Zimbabwe dollars, actually that does make me a trillionaire, but I just wish they were US dollars instead. I love currency collecting and today exchanged a novel 100 trillion dollar currency note and its actually the highest value currency note ever produced for legal tender anywhere in the world. Its not fake and is a true collectible for currency collectors, but its not as valuable as you would expect. 100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollars It is actually the maximum number of 14 zeros you will ever see on a currency note – 100,000,000,000,000, much beyond a million or billion, but still lesser than Googol! How is this possible? The Zimbabwe Dollar story is…

Budgets and Diets Are a Waste of Time!

Budgets and diets are a waste of time! Most, if not all personal finance (PF) bloggers are probably surprised I would say that. A budget or diet is not the answer for overspending or overeating. If these things worked for everyone, there would be no debt or overweight people. A budget or diet is intended to help us reach a financial or personal goal. Do budgets or diets even work? I spent my entire career preparing budgets, five (5) year plans, strategic plans and business…

5 Lessons From a $213,000 Launch

Two weeks ago our little 3-person company launched a new video training platform and community for online business builders. The launch (which was actually iterated over 3.5 months) was a hit. We exceeded our expectations and brought in a nice chunk of revenue (which I’ll detail below). We also learned a lot, partly through experimentation, partly by talking with other entrepreneurs, and partly by reading everything we could about launching this kind of service online. I’ve been working online for a while now (Think Traffic will be three years old in March), but I still remember so clearly years ago wondering if I could really do it — if I could bootstrap a small business based around…

10 Ways to Save $100 This Week

This post is part of America Saves Week. Money is like a cake. When you get that delicious dessert, it can be tempting to eat it all at once. But if you do, you’ll end up with a stomachache, that sugarcoated feeling on your teeth, and perhaps most importantly — no cake for later. Similarly, if you spend all of your money, you’ll probably end up regretting your splurges — and wishing you had some funds sitting in the bank. Often, savings strategies are obvious — you set a big piece of cake aside, and it’s there waiting for…

Do You Have To Quit Your Job To Be Financially Successful?

One of the themes that seems to circulate is that in order to find true financial success, you have to start your own business with the idea of eventually quitting your day job. While many of us like the idea of working from home (often in our pajamas), a home business isn’t for everyone. Indeed, there are plenty of people who are just fine working for “the man” — and that’s ok. Do You Really Want to Quit Your Job? My husband teaches a couple of online courses for a local university each semester. The reality is that, if he …

What Would Happen to My Online Business if I Died?

This is a guest post by Chris Huntley, a good friend of mine who works in life insurance. We’ve had lunch together quite a few times and we usually discuss topics like blogging and the joy (and challenge) of being parents, but at one particular lunch we started talking about how more and more people are becoming solo entrepreneurs and that because it’s happening so fast, most of those business owners probably don’t have a “business continuation plan” that determines what would happen to their business if they were to die. Although I have some of the basics in place, this discussion was a big wake up call for me, especially because my online businesses are the primary source of income …

Fuel bills are rising, what can you do?

Now that much of the country has been covered in a blanket of snow and temperatures have dropped below zero, most of us will be keen to turn the thermostat up on heating systems. But with the cost of energy being as high as it is, thousands of households will find that having a little warmth can have seriously detrimental effects on the state of their finances. According to MoneySupermarket, 40 per cent of annual energy use occurs during the winter months so it’s far from surprising that people are often hit with more expensive bills than they expected. Indeed, the price comparison website believes that the average family will receive a quarterly bill of around £530 in …

Digital Marketing Growth Opportunity is Knocking: Are You Answering?

Since 2001 our “practice what we preach”, digital marketing and PR agency at TopRank has experienced growth every year. Like many frugal and efficiency focused businesses, we’ve been conservative about business operations, taking on zero debt and running pretty lean. All of our marketing (and most PR) is inbound. We do not employ dedicated sales people or spend on advertising. This approach has kept us small but extremely efficient with exceptional project management, account management and consulting capabilities that exceed those of agencies many times our size. Staying healthy during lean economic times is smart, but growth is in our future. …
