Growing up on the farm, my Grandpa was a stickler for doing maintenance on all the machinery before we headed out to the field. He was always greasing some wheel bearings or checking the oil levels. He was a big believer that regular maintenance would save you a lot more money over the long term
In September 2016, my neighbor and I took the plunge into doing Airbnb rentals, and we didn’t know the first thing about getting started. One of the first questions we had was how are we going to secure the house? Are we going to have to give a key to each visitor that came? In
This past month has been focused on my monthly goals and writing them down. I had a record total 19 goals listed to accomplish in August and accomplished 12 of those goals. That is a big deal to me because I’ve broken a lot of my yearly goals into the smallest measurable unit (and added some

Much like the month before, April came and went. It is amazing, if you aren’t intentional with your days and hours, how the month can just slip past you so quickly. Last month I really focused a lot on accomplishing some of my primary goals. I worked hard on controlling my eating, and getting good
