This post is going to be a little different than the other posts I’ve made. I’m going to write a little something from the heart and whatever is on my mind so sorry in advance if …

Monthly Income Report: April 2022

by

April was a very hectic month, especially towards the end of the month. My dog was sick and needed to be hospitalized for a week (she’s fine now). At the same time, we were moving to a new town that was 2 hours away. The last week of April involved a lot of driving, moving boxes and panic attacks.

Why I Started My Company

by
Signing Business Papers

If you take a look at the Terms of Use on this site, you will see the line “The Website is owned and operated by Brainstorming in Motion, LLC (“Brainstorming in Motion”).” I started my company, Brainstorming in Motion, LLC in 2014. Unlike some people, I never wanted to own my own company. I didn’t want to deal with hiring people, firing people, dealing with business taxes, paying business expenses and so forth.
