I hadn't planned on talking about this today, especially since that is all we are hearing about. But since I use this vehicle as an online journal so my kids can look back on in the future.I want them to know what we went through during this time. I feel that we will all make it through just fine if we decide to work together and leave judgment out of it and live by a simple principle... "If You Need Help, Ask For It...

Saying our FREE online profiles in all of the social venues is costing us money may be confusing. Let’s think about that statement. If you create a profile and forget about it for a long while, it becomes dated, perhaps even incorrect. Not just headshots and the company you work for, but your basic statement about yourself. When you created your profiles chances are you were just checking off a box to get marketing off your back. Facebook - check LinkedIn - check Twitter - check Google+ - check About.me - check And what about all of the other profiles you forget about - such as trade organizations, professional and alumni associations, online directories. There’s a HUGE chance you have no clue how many profiles you’ve created. If you only think about the ones you remember, that gives you a place to start. Starting with the more obvious: LinkedIn, Facebook - page AND profile, Twitter, About.me and Google+ the first thing you want to think about is WHOM you are trying to reach and what you want them to do. How do you want them to connect with you? What do you want them to THINK about you? It is not one profile fits all here. You have to tailor it. What I say on Facebook is not the same as LinkedIn. If you are in the camp that favors the, “It’s all me - I’m the same everywhere - they can accept me or not!” chances are you wish you earned more money, but that arrogance is getting in your way. Business is business, even if clients become friends or friends become clients, it’s a different hat. You are asking them to pay you for your knowledge and skills. Respect that and them. This segways into headshots. Keep it clean and professional on LinkedIn. Have more fun on Facebook, but it’s still a good idea to have an actual photo rather than cartoon, a picture of your dog - unless that’s your business,. You want anyone seeking you to know it is the RIGHT you. On all of social media, I’m grateful that the OTHER Susan Finch in New York is a blonde. It helps at first glance. Also, the fact I’m in Oregon and she’s in New York. We are both clear who we are in all venues. Moving on to your links you can include. Have you tested them lately? As a producer for several online radio shows, I run across guests all the time that haven’t updated their LinkedIn profiles for months or even YEARS. They link to old companies and broken pages. It makes me wonder if they realize that company doesn’t consider them an employee any more. This leads into work history and projects and the topic of lost revenue through social media. When your profile is broken, outdated with only crickets chirping in your timeline, people will think you are not current. You’ve done nothing new, can’t be bothered keeping your details updated. How can they count on you to help them if they can’t take care of themselves? Spend some time reading EACH social media profile. Would you hire you? If you were interested in becoming YOUR client, how would you connect? What is the next step? An example of a pretty decent About.me profile is at susanfinch.me Short, with a clear call to action and OFFER in the same breath. You will note that my social profiles are not as consistent as I’d like. Remember I mentioned that OTHER Susan Finch - vanity URLs are tough when your name isn’t super unusual. And now we move on to the call to action in each profile. Ask someone else to read your profiles through. Ask them if they understand what you do, your capabilities and what they need to do next in order to work with you. Ideally, the person helping you by reviewing it would understand your buyer personas pretty well to help you see any holes, potential confusion, or nannering on you are doing in your profiles. If they help you with this, at least send them a gift card or take them out for drinks to thank them. Return the favor for them, too. At the end of your profiles, entice people to make an appointment, get to know your company better, invite you to speak - whatever the goal that makes you money, ASK FOR IT with an EASY link. It may be a different landing page for each venue. That’s a great way to track it if it’s working. Perhaps you simply link to your appointment scheduler page. The goal isn’t to close the deal, but to get them to call. Give them the time, don’t tell them how to make the watch. With LinkedIn - this will be an entire episode on it’s own, realize you can add PROJECTS without changing jobs. Something like a case study where you can show off something with great results. Facebook: Once you are done updating Facebook with a new image - it will notify all of your “friends” and followers. LinkedIn used to do this, but caught on that people played this in order to get to the top of the newsfeed with a visual update. Now you have to do something more than upload an image - change your position, add a company - when you do that, you will end up in notifications and news feeds on LinkedIn.  Before you do that, consider writing an ARTICLE to publish in your profile to make a bigger splash. If you don’t have much to say, with your newly updated profile, commit to a BARE MINIMUM of 15 minutes a day on LinkedIn for two weeks only sharing items from others, stories from the news, nothing self-serving. MENTION companies and PEOPLE.  Let people know you are still around and are now current and of value rather than just tooting your own horn.

Alexandra Dickinson, the CEO and founder of Ask For It, shares her advice on the art of negotiation both in the workplace and at home. She shares some great tips on making more money from a new job or a raise.

Studies show that many women don’t negotiate for salary as often as men during the hiring process. Guest expert Ashley Milne-Tyte says women leave money on the table all the time. Salary gaps between men and women often start at the beginning of their careers, because young men are more inclined to negotiate their salary, while women tend to accept the company’s initial offer. Cultural conditioning and stereotypes are at the center of this problem. Talking about money can be very uncomfortable for many women, whether it’s due to lack of education about finances or fear that they’ll come off as greedy or “bossy.” Hiring managers, both men or women, may consider women  pushy or rude while the same behavior from men is seen as normal. However, there are various studies that show women negotiate very well when they are negotiating for someone else. So how can women take those skills and go to bat for their own benefit? Ashley recommends a book that has become her “negotiation bible: it’s called Ask For It, by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever. It can change a woman’s view when it comes to negotiating. Techniques to help women ask for and get more: Do your research. Find out what people in similar positions are making, pulling both national and local salary ranges. Be calm and understand expectations. Know going in that you may get different reactions. Be calm, firm, yet friendly in your ask. Don’t accept the first offer. It’s common practice to take a day to consider an offer. Use that time to come up with a reasonable counter-ask. Have options in your ask. Whether you offer flexibility in payment schedule or other compensation instead of cash, be open but don’t roll over. Women leave money on the table all the time. By understanding bias, doing your homework, and presenting a well-informed ask, women can negotiate for better compensation. This Week’s Guest: Ashley Milne-Tyte Ashley Milne-Tyte is a podcast host and radio and print reporter based in New York. She has reported extensively for Marketplace, the public radio business show, as well as local stations and smaller shows. Ashley teaches at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. Her podcast on women and the workplace, The Broad Experience, has been featured on best podcast lists in The Guardian, Fortune, and Entrepreneur. Ashley will focus on conservative women in the workplace, and Executive Assistants, on her upcoming podcasts. This Week’s Job Search Resource: Ben’s resource this week is an article from Inc. entitled Why You Should Tell Your Coworkers How Much Money You Make. The article tackles the touchy subject of discussing salaries in the workplace, and considers salary transparency as a tool for  uncovering unfair wage gaps. This Week’s Listener Question: This week, Kristin Schuchman, career coach at A Portland Career, joined the Mac’s List team as a fill-in guest host. Kristin, Ben, and Mac answer Samantha Marshall’s question: “I've been working at my job for several years, and they have told me several times that they would pay for me to go to grad school, but when I bring it up, they push back or say they have to consider it. I really want to go to grad school, but I can't afford to do it on my own so this would be a really great opportunity — but I'm worried it will strain my work relationship if I keep asking. How can I advocate for myself and for this opportunity, while maintaining a good relationship with my managers?" Stay up-to-date with the Find Your Dream Job podcast.

Whether you are looking to move to Denver or Denmark, there are a lot of things you need to take into consideration before moving to a new city.  When you are moving to a new city, everything is new and exciting, but it can also be a little scary. Preparing will help you get past that insecurity the unfamiliarity of a new city can bring. And overspending is almost always a result of under planning.  One of our awesome listeners has been thinking of making a move to a new city and asked us for some tips on how he can prepare. Thomas has been planning a move to Denver and will share some tips and resources he in today’s episode.  Financial Prerequisites  Before you move to a new city, you want to have your finances in order. Get your debt situation under control and work on your credit score. If you are planning on renting, landlords look at that very seriously when considering a tenant.  Make sure you have a job when you get there. If you’re moving because of a job, get a relocation bonus. ASK FOR IT! You’d be surprised what you can get if you ask.  Creating a moving budget. This will show you how much money you will need to save up for all expenses including broker fees, security deposits, moving companies, possible storage, furniture and at least the first month’s rent.  Step 1: Choosing the new location  If you’re relocating because of a job or school, either for yourself or a spouse, apparently you’re skipping this step. For Thomas, he just wants to leave Iowa so he can have a new place to call home. Start by researching locations you might be interested in. Figure out what you want out of a new location and make a priority list with value scores.  Don’t get caught up in what you might do when you get there. Make a list of real priorities and things you truly value. Maybe you don’t have a car, so you want a city to be walkable. You love hiking and the outdoors, so you need to find a place with the nice weather most of the year.  Since it is more likely than not that you’ll need a job when you move, some of your top priorities should be:    * What’s my industry like in this city?  * What’s the probability that I can get a good job?  * What’s the cost of living index, and will my likely salary be able to manage it?  * Will I have to downgrade my current lifestyle because the new city won’t let my dollars stretch as far?    Compare your cost of living now to what it will be on the move along with your new salary. Thomas has been using Numbeo to compare the cost if living between Des Moines to Denver. He figured out he will need $4,837 each month to get the same standard of living I’d get on $4,000 in Des Moines. Also, check out tax rate differences. If you have children or plan to have kids, then you need to consider schools and daycare costs in the area. Once you have all the info you need, start scoring cities you’re interested in based on your priorities.Check out city-data websites, forums, and Reddit to get the low-down from locals. Thomas has found this pretty helpful except for those few people who don’t want any newcomers in town. Once you have your shortlist, visit a city or two if you can. It’s probably not feasible for most people to visit every potential city, but if you can try to Air BnB it up for a few days in your top pick. You can tour some apartments and get a feel for the place. Thomas did this in Denver, and that was fantastic. It solidified the decision for him. Step 2: Start preparing Moving sucks, so make a plan for everything that needs to be done way ahead of time and work on it in little chunks. Pare down your life and get rid of stuff you don’t need or use. You are starting a new life so leave some of the old behinds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s disgusting. Governing bodies all over the country areHIDING  MONEY OWED TO FORECLOSURE VICTIMS, and one governmentofficial even admitted it! Find out whether YOU’RE OWED MONEY andhow to help the victims (and yourself) today. I’m Carole Ellis.This is episode 51.I find this shocking, but hardly surprising. REI Today has firm,clear, indisputable evidence that government bodies all over thiscountry are HIDING MONEY owed to foreclosure victims, and they’renot even particularly ashamed of themselves! I’ll tell you all thedetails today, including how one government official actually gotextremely defensive over those funds confronted about them. But youdon’t have to just believe me about this. A colleague of mine namedBob Diamond is an expert in this stuff. He’s a real estate attorneyand an extremely active real estate investor, and he has made acareer out of “Robin Hood Investing” wherein he EXPOSES exactlywhere this foreclosure money is hidden and helps the unknowingvictims reclaim their cash.When I talked to Bob about this issue, at first I found itpretty hard to believe that there could actually be hundreds ofthousands if not millions of dollars of money sitting in governmentcoffers waiting for foreclosure victims to claim it. After all,didn’t we create an entirely new set of laws and multiple newfederal agencies to protect consumers and homeowners from this typeof abuse? Well, yes we did (think Consumer Financial ProtectionBureau and Dodd-Frank, folks) but let’s just say they’re not reallyvery interested in righting this particular wrong. Here’s why:Bob says that the key to the entire rotten process lies inforeclosure auctions, specifically foreclosures over propertytaxes. “When someone loses their home to tax foreclosure, theyusually haven’t paid their property taxes in three or four years,”he explained, adding that usually this amounts to, at most, about$25,000 including fees and penalties. However, the properties intax sales usually sell for about 70 percent of market value.National median home price is about $186,000, so that means that atypical home would likely sell at tax auction for $130,340.Subtract that $25,000, and you can see there is more than $100,000left over, and by right – by legal right, this is not hypotheticalin any way – that leftover money belongs to the former homeowner.However, and here’s the catch, the former homeowner must KNOW THEMONEY IS THERE and go through the proper channels to ASK FOR IT.Probably 99 percent of people (maybe even more) who lose theirhomes to tax sale have no idea what their home sells for or thatany leftover money is there. Think about it: if you had just lostyour home to foreclosure, would you attend the auction to watch itgo? Probably not. And you, like the vast majority of homeowners,would therefore have no idea that the government had collected way,way waaaay more money on your home than you owed saidgovernment.“I’ve been going to real estate tax auctions since 1989,” saidBob, “and I’ve only seen one former owner at a tax sale.”“It’s really sad,” he added. “They lost their home, and now theylost all their cash as well.” But in reality, the government keepsthe money forever if it is not claimed through the proper channels.“The governments wants you to lose that money and wants to keepit,” Bob explained. He added that many government officials areeven defensive of those funds, and that one once explained in aninterview when asked about the 95 percent (that’s right ladies andgentlemen, 95 PERCENT) of the foreclosure funds that go unclaimed,quote, “That’s our SLUSH FUND. You can’t take that away!” But intruth, it’s legalized theft. That money belongs to the formerowners, not the government, and the entire system is rigged so thatforeclosure victims have no idea WHO to ask for it, WHAT exactly toask for, or HOW to go about it.And that’s where Bob comes in, and where you as an investor OR aforeclosure victim need to come in too. Ladies and gentlemen, Bobdid an entire training with our publisher, Bryan Ellis, on thistopic, and he explained in detail exactly how it works, what youcan do about it, and how to go about not only righting thisegregious wrong and helping foreclosed homeowners but also make agood, solid, meaningful living at the same time that you can bevery, very proud of. The training is free, but space is very, verylimited so please do not delay. Head right over to www.rei.today/amazingto register for this free training.
