Over the last several weeks I have taken a break from writing blog posts. There has been a great deal happening and I just decided to put this piece of my life and business on hold. It has been a good time to refresh the ideas of blog posts and now it is time to get things fired up again.
Since my self imposed hiatus much has happened. Gun violence has occurred all over the country and most visibly in Connecticut. Our country was on the verge of financial shutdown and once again our leaders missed another opportunity to lead financially. Along with that, our congress and president have decided to not tackle the debt issue in any measurable way and to, again, kick the can a little farther down the road. In addition that same group has voted to allow your paycheck to go back down by way of payroll taxes.
In addition, surveys say that Americans are taking on more debt. Struggling to get ahead, people are borrowing more again. Some reports that I have seen indicate that credit card debt has decreased and other areas, like student loans, have increased.
The economy continues to sputter. People, and many I personally know and/or coach, are looking for jobs that seem to be elusive.
Point is, there are several things to write about that affect all of us. Whether financial, career, or just life – what are the things that are important to you? What things can I write about that are interesting and helpful to you? If they are important to you and your family, there is a very good chance that the same information is important to others. What are those important things?
