Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be.

From our friend from across the
pond, Ms. Cantwell, of Free Range Humans…
1. Still looking for your perfect ditch-the-job-forever idea? Want to do something different (on your terms but have no idea what that might be)?
It's
almost kick off time on the Ideas Adventure, and we're almost full! Yup, we're
down to the very final places on this adventure to finally finding that 'really
right' free range idea for what you really want to do with your life.
This
is the only 'discover your perfect idea when you don't have anyideas' programme I plan to run
live this year, so if you feel
like you're going around in circles with no ideas, join us here: http://www.free-range-humans.com/ideasadventureinvite/

Already got your idea (or maybe you've already launched...) but thinking 'what
now'? This might be your answer:
Always
wanted to launch a product or service based around what you already know and
are good at... but have no idea how to do this? Or already launched but you're
not sure how to make things really work?
That's
why Natalie Sisson and Natalie MacNeil (two free range humans I seriously rate)
have produced a brand new (free) video training series starting April 30th, to
show you their step by step process to building a thriving online business you
love. Get on the early access list here: http://frh.me/10CIgOY
(BTW
their series is doubly great if you are interested in creating successful
online products: http://frh.me/10CIgOY).
There are two ways to get
ahead financially: Spend less and make more. Unfortunately, you can't give
yourself an instant raise. But that doesn't mean you can't turn a quick buck if
you want or need to.

A while
back, Elizabeth Sanberg put together a list of ways to
make money recycling, which
outlines some websites that will pay you to recycle various items from
electronics to ink cartridges to cardboard boxes to golf balls. Here are more
websites, businesses and programs that pay you for recycling a variety of
goods that you can't otherwise recycle yourself.
Most (if not all) of the online companies will pay for your
shipping expenses by either emailing you a prepaid shipping label to print,
or by sending you an addressed box in which to ship your recyclables. Many
also have charitable status and will issue you a tax-deductible receipt
instead of a cash payment.
Cellphones
Cellphone recycling led the way in the now burgeoning industry
of getting paid to recycle. Most of these companies will refurbish your phone
and redistribute it by selling or donating it to nonprofit organizations or
consumers (local or overseas). Some will require your charger or other accessories,
while others don't.
Some companies will even pay you for a cellphone that doesn't
work anymore, but if they don't, they usually still pay for shipping and
accept broken phones to recycle them responsibly.
There doesn't seem to be a standard rate for any make or model
of phone, so do a little comparison shopping to get the most for your
recyclables.

lawmakers secretly negotiating to exempt themselves from Obamacare
Top lawmakers on Capitol Hill
are negotiating a secret deal to exempt themselves from Obamacare. The
Obamacare mandate is a total nightmare, of course, and it doubles health insurance rates while providing nothing resembling actual
"health" care. It's such a nightmare that the very people who passed
it now want to exempt themselves from it.
That would leave it in a state where only the constituents are subjected to its onerous costs and mandates, not the lawmakers who passed it into law. How's that for hypocrisy in America?
According to a report from Politico, "Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, sources in both …
