How's Your Credit?

Lynn Carnes and I have teamed up to put together a credit repair toolkit and if your credit is less than perfect, you're not alone. And, you can actually do something about it. You must take action though.

Take a look at our new blog on the WomenCorp site and if you'd like a better credit score, then resolve to make 2008 your big year. Make it the year you finally clean up your credit and change your life!

Have a great weekend!

Pump Up Your Personal Finances!

Another one of our newer WomenCorp partners, Kent Irwin, has published a great article on how to prevent personal financial disasters and how to rescue them if you've already had problems. This is a must-do, a first priority, if you're an entrepreneur or an entrepreneur wannabe. After all, if you can't manage personal finances, how can you manage a business? Real food for thought.

Take a look at Kent's article and then take a look at your personal financial world to see where you stack up.

Have a great day!

Holiday Shopping: Spending Too Much? Get Fiscally Fit!

Cyber Monday proved to be a big winner for the online retailers. Some reports show that sales were up 21% from last year!

Here's a tidbit from the Associated Press:

"ComScore Inc. reported on Tuesday that consumers spent $733 million online on Monday, a 21% gain from the same day a year ago. ComScore had expected that sales would exceed the $700 million figure."

And who says our economy is not looking up? People are still shopping. That means we're hopeful. We are believing for good things, for money in the bank, for giving to friends and family, and for a great future.

If you're not one of those big spenders because you simply don't have the money, or you were one of the big spenders and know you'll regret it in January, take a look at this video. It's time to get fiscally fit. Make that your New Years Resolution. Instead of losing 10 pounds, add 10 points to your credit score. Add $10K to your retirement account. You get the picture. Subscribe to WomenCorp online magazine and get educated, inspired, and connected. Are You Fiscally Fit? Go here and find out!

Christmas Shopping and Black Friday

Did you do it?

Did you get up at 3 a.m. and hit the 4 a.m. sales at Best Buy? Did you sleep off yesterday's turkey and get up with the chickens?

Judging from the early word from the retail world, if you did, you were one of many. Now I don't really need a lot of that stuff right now, and already have some of my Christmas shopping done (or planned), so I didn't hit the sales. Yes, I have already started my shopping! Please, though, don't hate me because I'm practical. You can do it too! Seriously, we had a great Thanksgiving dinner and gathering and there is truly so much to be thankful for. Sometimes, spending that precious little extra time with family on Black Friday is the best way to spend the day.

We here at WomenCorp are busy behind the scenes (since we've already got our shopping done...) planning some fun and profit-focused stuff for the magazine. You have been great to let us know how much you're enjoying the magazine. We have an awesome group of partners and must admit, the content is superb. Next year is already gearing up to be a record-breaker for many of us and we're planning to share our secrets with YOU! That's what it's all about, right? Helping you, our readers, to enjoy the fantastic and profitable life you deserve.

Closing out for today, take a look at one of our newer partners, Kent Irwin and his (yes sir, we now have two men on our partner team!) latest article. At this time of year when we all tend to spend way too much money and then worry ourselves sick in January about how we're gonna recover financially (and lose those 10 holiday pounds), thinking about personal finances in advance sounds like a smart thing to do.
