098 DSR – Doin’ The Craigslist Hustle

April 2, 2013 — Leave a comment

PODCAST AUDIO – click to listen

I’m always thinking of ways to make a little extra money. I like to browse craigslist once in a while to see what’s out there & how I can offer my services to people in my area.

The idea for an interview or book review hit me so I went to Amazon.com and searched for “craigslist.” The first book I found is The Craigslist Hustle by LaJuan Stoxstill-Diggs. And what are the odds? He’s from my area!

This is a 35 page Kindle book. Soup & crackers. No fluff. No hype. It’s simple, easy to read language on how to buy an item on craigslist in your local area. And then you immediately re-list it on craigslist and sell it in a short period of time.

If you have zero cash to get started, there’s good news. Check out craigslist “For Sale” section. Then browse the subsection “Free Stuff.” You’d be surprised what people give away. You have to be willing to go pick it up as these items can go quickly.

Be sure to get the 2013 revision with new info on how to flip (buy and re-sell) washers & dryers. Evidently these are one of the hottest items on craigslist. People need a good washer/dryer set more than they need a 40″ flat screen TV, right? No need to worry. You can use the ideas in this book to buy/re-sell any item you choose.

Practical & affordable reading at less than $10.00, this book delivers the goods. Read it and get started ASAP. No system to buy, no multi-level marketing, no CD’s or software. The author dishes it out as promised. And he has a few youtube videos to add to the flavor. I’ve already bought the book and am working on my Craigslist Hustle. I recommend you do the same.

097 DSR – Hourly Wage vs Your Value

March 29, 2013 — Leave a comment

The Art of Exceptional Living

PODCAST AUDIO – click to listen

We recently got an email from a listener named Rebecca in Germany and she writes:

“Hi Greg,
I am 38 yrs. old, from Germany and have started listening to money advice since last autumn, starting with Dave Ramsey and then also including you and Money Girl and some others. Due to this advice I am working on getting debt free by the end of 2013, which is pretty much likely to happen if i continue like I do currently. 

My debt was in student loans and a bank credit. I am paying the minimum payments now since many years and since I had health problems in the past that was ok. But now I am determined to get out of debt asap. In July I will have paid off the bank credit and the student loan will follow.”

In this 97th episode of Debt Shepherd Radio, I talk about the difference between what you’re paid per hour and your true worth. If you’re determined to pay off your debt, as Rebecca is, here’s a few questions to keep in mind as you push toward your goal:

Your Hourly Wage – What is it?
Your Value – What is it?

What’s the difference between the two?
Why care about the difference?

What if you never had to work for money?  Imagine a life where all your needs are met.  You have all the money you’ll ever need to do whatever you choose.

Get lack of money off your excuse list.  The best thing you could ever do is become extremely wealthy. You’d quickly realize money isn’t your problem.

088 DSR – The Biggest Excuse

February 21, 2013 — Leave a comment

no-excuses

PODCAST AUDIO – click to listen

You just think lack of money is the reason you aren’t happy. The best thing that could ever happen to all of us is to win a gigantic lottery jackpot. Then we’d be forced to realize money doesn’t buy us happiness.

That excuse out of the way, we’re faced with the realization there are no excuses for not BE’ing and doing what we’re here to BE and do.

Stop using lack of money as an excuse to sit on your duff and watch the world go by. Get up, DO for starters, and BE as a result.

085 DSR – Buying Our Freedom

February 10, 2013 — Leave a comment

PODCAST AUDIO : (click to listen)

We spend most of our lives chasing paper to buy our freedom. The system is nothing but debt slavery and manufactured scarcity. This amounts to nothing more than human trafficking and the monetization of human flesh. Thanks to Max Igan for reminding me of that recently. The following is a list of fictions we must become aware are all around:

Fictions:
Money
Corporations
Laws
The Constitution
Birth Certificates
Our Names
The Entire System

There’s good news. If we stop breathing life into these fictions by withdrawing our attention and participation, they will die. Become aware, become awake. Help others around you do the same.

“People think freedom is freedom of choice. Freedom is self responsibility and seeing our validity and the validity in others.” – Max Igan
