Happy New Year! This weeks post is a little bit late (sorry about that). I’ve had one of those “life hiccups” that kept me away from the computer most of this past week.
Update
I’m keeping this post super short again. My theme for 2014 is “Work Less, Earn More!” (that’s my plan at the start of the year anyway). And that may mean I won’t be as long winded – I guess time will tell?
When I am working it’s almost all AskLoralee.com projects. I’m thinking of adding a Classifieds element to the membership (so you could advertise your services, or also look for people to help you as you’re building your business. Want to cast your vote? It should take less than 2 minute of your time.

Inbox BluePrint – cool new training program
I watched this short Free video on Wednesday… I don’t often share things that look like “quick money making” programs, but really liked Aniks approach & his process is very simple (and the course is super affordable. It’s worth watching, even if you’re just looking for a clever example of a marketing approach.
The video features 5 students who were all struggling for a minimum
of 2 years (sort of in a “reality tv show” style).
Oh, and if you don’t have time to watch, click through & then click the “x” to close the window. You’ll see an exit popup. Say you want to stay on the page & grab his free BluePrint ebook. It’s really good.
