A few years ago, when I first started earning a good sized income from home, I was somewhat shocked to discover that on top of my normal income tax rate, I was required to add on another 15.3 percent in what’s known as self employment tax. Fortunately, I discovered a legal strategy that saved me …
Yesterday I watched a thought provoking new documentary on Netflix called Come Sunday. It’s quite a story about a Pentecostal preacher named Carlton Pearson who was, at one time, one of the most famous preachers in the Unites States. He was a man with incredible authority and close connections in very high places throughout the …
I’ve had an auto ship (monthly recurring product cost) each month since I joined Home Business in 2005. 13 years. In that time, never can I recall, ever complaining about it or wishing I didn’t have it. I’ve never really thought about my auto-ship as an expense. To me, it’s always been an asset. Of …

When I woke up this morning that line from that old Dire Straights song was playing in my head. “Money for nothing…” This concept has driven all of income producing activities for the last 9 years. Not that I want money for nothing now, but at some point, I want to have money coming in …
Elon Musk, could very well be one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs on the planet. There was a period a few months ago where I did a fairly deep dive, learning as much as I could about his companies and philosophy. He became my new hero. That being said, I watched an interview of him …
At the end of last October I got inspired by Seth Godin’s consistency in blogging daily and I made a decision to follow in his footsteps. Today is April 8th and I’ve not missed 1 single day in over 150 + posts. I’ve blogged on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I’ve blogged when I was sick. …
