Another week has passed by and I’ve made additional progress toward my goal RV project!
First, I successfully refinanced my house to liberate equity (more on that in November);
Second, I found a place to store my RV away from our harsh winter (driving it tomorrow!);
Third, I’m about to make my best month online since the beginning of the year! (all thx to this action);
I was also pretty busy writing (btw, my first post on Dividend Mantra will be published next Monday):

Mike,

Cheers.
Hey Jason!
I’m a bit nervous about that to be honest 🙂
Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for sharing about that conversation Mike. It’s true that Dan, the man in the story, took a risk and did it right. Sometimes I really think we really hold ourselves back…..be it because we’re afraid of losing, or afraid of winning. I hope you have a great weekend, and am glad you enjoyed the post.

Hello Bryan,
I also notice that we are often scared of changing. For some reasons, it is more comforting to whine about a situation than making changes to improve the situation.
Enjoy the weekend!
Mike
Oh, I planted two seeds that will provide rising income for decades to come.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you found it inspiring!
Watch out for monsters this weekend 😉
