It was like a mini Christmas each week. Getting up every day for school was a struggle — but on Saturday, you were up at the crack of dawn. The institution of Saturday morning cartoons was a beloved staple in the lives of millions of children.

But where did they go?

Depending on your age, you may have noticed them fade away — or just realized they weren’t there anymore. They lasted for 30 years and then just disappeared.

How did something that existed as a perfect brand showcase to a dialed-in audience just stop working? …

If you want to give the best to those you love, you might want to cut off that House Hunters marathon a bit earlier.

It can’t be understated how critical quality sleep is to your overall health and wellness. But it can go deeper than that. A lack of quality sleep can have a profoundly negative impact on your relationships.

If you’re not at your best, you can't expect to give your best, and you need to make sleep a priority.

What Happens When You Get Poor Quality Sleep?

When you deprive yourself of quality sleep, your health suffers. Insufficient sleep causes a rise in stress hormones in…

I love them. Any of those monthly earning breakdowns by successful bloggers, freelancers, or creators are very inspirational to me.

I love seeing everyone’s process, what’s working for them, and how they are scaling their business.

But the ones that report how they generated $5K, $8K, or $10K+ are at a level that often seems out of reach. It’s still great to set your sights high, but I thought I would break down what a month for a more average creator looks like.

What My Month Consists Of

The work I do is a combination of my own website, freelance work, and podcasting. …

I’m really dating myself here, but the internet as I first knew it worked through a phone line. Looking back now, this seems as archaic as rubbing two sticks together to make fire.

Hopefully, you know what I’m talking about and the hysterical dial-up sound that came from going online is now in your head.

In the early days of home internet, there was one company that dominated the new industry: America Online or AOL.

Again, depending on your age, you may remember those AOL discs showing up everywhere. …

The amazing thing about podcasts is that they go everywhere you do. Blogs, videos, and books are great — but they aren’t as easily consumable as a podcast.

With a podcast, any activity can become a learning experience. Whether it’s driving, commuting, folding laundry, working out, or just going for a walk — a podcast is right there with you. This gives you the perfect opportunity to educate yourself.

If you are an entrepreneur, you no doubt have a thirst for business knowledge and want to absorb as much information as possible to be successful. Podcasts allow you to do…

It took me about three weeks. This is how long I agonized over getting the perfect name for my business and website. I went through a ton of possibilities, took polls of people, and spent more time than I should have.

Eventually, the time was up and I had no choice but to go with something. I ended up taking the Webhosting suggestion — which turned out better than anything I had come up with.

It turns out that a name isn’t even all that important. …

I’m always looking for better ways to communicate and I’m sure you are, too. I’m Canadian so it’s in my DNA to automatically say “I’m sorry” at even the most minimal of inconveniences.

But is this a poor form of communication? Would saying “thank you” be a much better way to engage with others instead of asking for forgiveness?

It turns out there's some science behind this.

How We Express Gratitude

From a very young age, we are taught to express gratitude. Whether it’s for a gift, compliment, or even just someone doing us a favor. …

“Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.” We’ve often heard this statement — but that’s easier said than done.

Many of us have had to work jobs we absolutely despise. But as awful as some of those jobs are, they are important to get us to the next step where we can ultimately do what we love.

Having a career where you feel like you never have to work a day in your life sounds pretty good — but what if you lose the passion for the thing you love?
