JBE* – Day 1
It’s 10:04 am on a Friday and I’m home. Officially I’m on vacation, and I’m a tourist in my own neighborhood, catching up on things I’ve been missing. Cleaning house can come later. First up – refreshing mind and spirit. With that, I heartily recommend taking 20 minutes to watch Seth Godin in this excellent [...]

Today I join the ranks of the jobless. Jobless – but not unemployed. My commute just got shorter. Someone else signs the paychecks. Income has just become based on service, rather than hours. What a switch! I’ve enjoyed the steady paycheck, the benefits, the rigor of producing results in a defined structure, the company of [...]
Dani Johnson kicks my behind whenever I listen to her on disc, live, or online. With a sentence she blows excuses out of the water, teaches respect for self and others, and, in a breath, makes you dig deep to find your dreams again and begin to live them. I’ve begun to see clearly enough [...]
Why Insanity? (Besides the workout of that name). I’m leaving my windowless cubicle. Also, the paycheck, the benefits and everything else. And for what? That’s still to be seen, and too early to tell. Just like the young lady in the picture, I’m looking for my hand holds in the climb. It’s really strange being [...]
“Bobby always was a trusting soul.” – JR Ewing (Dallas) Reality check: I’m 3.5 months away from my last day at the 9 to 5, our old house has closed, Viki has been called for job interviews and I’m getting started figuring out the what’s so about what’s next. Reading, researching, and reflecting are my current [...]
Every morning for the past three weeks we’ve talked on the phone for 5-10 minutes to our friend Anne and have created accountability and support for our projects and activites for the day. The difference has been huge. A lot of things have happened during that time for the three of us, including: change of residence [...]
Viki and I have sold our house and moved into a tiny little place near our “home base” town. The proceeds from the house eliminate our mortgage and leave us with about a year’s normal salary to operate from while we execute the plans we’ve been making. The prospects now seem endless. Lots of folks up here [...]
It’s been said that poor people watch their paychecks and rich people watch their net worth. In either case you have to know what you’re looking at and what you’re looking for. It’s part of financial education. Robert Kiyosaki talks a lot about that in his books and other materials and we highly recommend reading [...]
A short, but important, observation. Remember this, if nothing else: “Your opinion of yourself makes no difference; your opinion of yourself means everything.” Whaaaaat? Read it again: “Your opinion of yourself makes no difference; your opinion of yourself means everything.” Before you call the men in white coats, hear me out. There is a strange logic at [...]
Regarding current income, you may be in one of two places: Packing your parachute (looking to retire, quit, upgrade or lay off is imminent) Out of the plane (severance from job has already occurred) If you’re reading this, you’re probably stressed by big changes in your life. What are you doing about them? What should you [...]
Someone needs to get the ball rolling. So far, this blog is my thing and I’m not waiting any longer to get started. This morning, Viki and I met with our friend, Anne. Over tea and talk, we decided to challenge our routines. We are three bright, educated individuals who can talk the talk. This week we’re [...]
