A book is a literary compass that has the potential to direct our thoughts and actions:

"Everything we read stimulates our mind to think, and what we think determines what we desire, and desires are the seedbed of our actions. Given this iron law of human nature--from reading to thinking, to desiring, to acting--we are shaping our destiny by the ideas we choose to have enter our minds through print." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan

Welcome to my own personal exploration of life through reading the great books of the world.

New Free Business Opportunity for Stay-at-Home Moms

I know many of my readers are stay-at-home moms who blog, so I thought I'd share with you a new online business opportunity that my wife and I recently joined. It's free, it's simple, and it takes away the "business game" that I hate playing. It's called MY POWERMALL and it's completely free.

Normally I wouldn't intrude on my literature posts with something like this, but I really think it's worth it for you to look at.

The best way to find out about the business is to watch one of the movies and explore the website.

MY POWERMALL is not just for stay-at-home moms, either. Other people can benefit from it as well:
  • Non-profits like Catholic schools and parishes
  • College students
  • Anyone looking to enhance their income with a free online business
I don't do things like this very often, so please forgive the off-topic post and ignore it if it's not for you. But it might just be something that could help you out financially.

Will Free IQ Change the Way We Learn and Earn?

Any learner, writer, expert or entrepreneur should visit FreeIQ for three reasons:
  1. Free educational video, audio and document files: Whether you want to know about writing, parenting, coaching basketball, or making money with Google's Adsense, FreeIQ is increasing in educational content daily. Unlike other video sites, it's not interested in bloopers or college pranks. FreeIQ is where anyone who wants to learn can go for free video, audio or written content. And if you join the FreeIQ community you can review and rate the content that you find.
  2. Add your own content: If you are a teacher, writer or other kind of expert, FreeIQ makes it easy to add your own content so that you can share your expertise with others. It's just a matter of uploading and tagging, just as you would with Flickr, Youtube, or any similar site--and it's all free!
  3. Get paid: You can also add content for sale. If you've written an ebook or created an instructional video, FreeIQ will host the files, sell the files, and manage all your customers--again, all for free. They also have a great affiliate program.
By making educational content free and easy to obtain, FreeIQ is helping to teach the world. Much of the content is business oriented right now, but as educators and other experts discover FreeIQ, I think it's going to revolutionize learning.

As you may have read yesterday, I already added some content of my own, a free reading list for junior high students. It's not much, but it's a beginning. Visit FreeIQ

Read This Book and Get Out of Debt

My wife and I bought Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover about eight months ago and it's proving to be one of the best investments we've ever made. Using Dave's philosophy we've been able to almost completely eliminate our debt. In three more months we will be totally debt-free except for our home mortgage. Dave's approach is not simply a system, it's a philosophy--a change in the way we think about money and debt. And it works.

The book is very easy to read, and is padded with all the personal stories you come to expect in a book like this, but these stories are actually motivating and encouraging. A great side effect of reading The Total Money Makeover is that my wife and I haven't been as stressed out about money, even though it's been tight as we pay down our debt.

It's a great book, and the philosophy really works--at least it's working for us. Thanks to the SQPN network for letting us know about it--it has changed our lives.
