Monday Motivation: Forgiving

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Joanne

not forgiving is like drinking poisonSomeone once said: “Bearing a grudge is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”

It often seems impossible to forgive, because the pain is so great. Yet the awesome reality is, that when we forgive we feel a tremendous release as the burden of resentment is lifted. Sometimes we don’t even want to contemplate forgiving those who have offended us. But one just has to make that decision and do it. The benefit is worth it. Less pain & tension, fewer headaches and much more peace. Yes, definitely more peace. Continue reading →

How To Find Out About Tax Sales

Posted on August 10, 2012 by Joanne

One of the questions that I get often about tax lien investing is “How do I find out when and where the tax sales are?”

If you want to know how to find out about tax sales – keep reading

First, I want to make it clear that tax lien and tax deed sales are auctions, usually conducted by the county, but sometimes the municipality (in the Northeast), or a law firm (in some redeemable deed states).

Rhea Perry’s Small Business Conference rolled up all these things into one.
