Update MONYC: My Life, Your Money, Special Messages

Man, this past week was something else. Lots of reading to do on my part. All kinds of sleep imbalances. But ... I'll have you know that I took zero Ambien or any of that nonsense. You just mosey on and lose that sleep. You'll get it back, it's kind of natural I think.

Let's take a look at the update

My Life

Still working that gig for Jack Humphrey. Expect to see my feature post on The Friday Traffic Report some time in the beginning of April, my B-day month!

Construction is still going on here. Web design is tough on Blogger. For some reason, the pics randomly load up and disappear. I dunno what's going on. I'm tempted to switch to Wordpress unless I can get a designer friend to straighten this out. Get @ me if that's you.

I still intend to share some thoughts on Madoff, Kramer, and our latest national money woes. Be on the lookout. And if there's anything you want to see my thoughts on that I haven't said yet, just make a mention of it in the comments so I know.

Your Money

To be honest, I don't like the news of recent weeks. There's nada that you didn't hear in the last update so instead, why don't I give you some some great ideas on putting more money in your pocket without the problems. No strings.

Are you keeping your job or business in this recession?

Keep those doors open. Go to your company's "competitors" and propose that if someone walks away from a sale, each of you will refer the lost customer to the other vendor. Agree to divide the earnings and you both win a second chance at selling the customer.

Do you want to survive the early years of freelancing?

Sometimes you just aren't good enough to do the advanced stuff for customers. Do the simple work then. But go for all your leads. If it's beyond your skill, hand it to people better than you. Agree with them beforehand that you would divide the commissions and everyone gets money.

Do you have little kids around you right now? Read this or have them read this ...

When your parents need a help with something, always offer to do it. Do it as much as you can so you're good at it. Be the best helper and learn to help with different things. Like wash the car or walk a pet. If you do it for you're parents long enough you'll be good at it. You can ask mom or dad if you can do it for people they know. If they say yes and set it up, you can ask mom or dad's friends to pay you money in exchange for your help. If they say yes, you can have money like mom or dad.

Special Message for MONYC readers

"... In a time where my president, The President of The United States Of America is calling on Americans to step and help save our country ... but isn't really telling you how ... there are beacons of hope." - Chris Flores

They aren't on TV much, if at all. You won't likely hear them on the radio. But they are alive and well, and extremely skilled at getting money. They have been through a recession before and came out on top and they will do this again. Some of them are practically hidden. But some are not and are among us right now.

I know the identity of one of those money masters, and I am part of your solutions.

If you and people you care about want the skill and aide of this money master, all of you, email me at christopher(at)merchantofnewyorkcity.com with the subject line: money master.

Remind me who your are and your money troubles and I'll send you all the information you need to get more money without more problems.

Happy Monday Y'all
