Linda and her strong-willed daughter, Lindsey, a high functioning young adult with intellectual disabilities, always had a complicated relationship. But when Lindsey graduated from high school at nineteen, she got a job at a Goodwill and she moved into a cottage in her parents’ backyard. Linda believed that the worst was finally behind them. Life proved not to be so simple. Linda and I will be discussing topics that go well beyond raising a child with disabilities. We will explore issues of universal interest, such as learning to accept what life hands us, seeing humor in the tragic, and slowing down to appreciate the beauty of the moment. The following is a taste of Linda’s wise and often wry points of view about life. Q: What was one of the most difficult things you faced as the mother of a young adult with disabilities? Linda: It was a rude awakening for me as a mother of a daughter with disabilities that we don't have a lot of power once they turn 18. I had lots of fantasies about going and grabbing her and bringing her home [when Lindsey had run off with a man twice her age]. But if you raise your children to be independent people, the decisions they make are not always going to be in agreement with what you thought they should be. Q: How did you learn to accept the disabilities of your once perfectly healthy baby? Linda: Life is a process. I don't think when you're handed a child with special needs that you can experience acceptance at that moment. For me it was a really long process of learning to accept that Lindsey will probably end up in a group home. Q: As a child, you always had “your eye on the prize,” determined to achieve your goals for the future. How has this changed for you over time? Linda: Sometimes you need to turn around and look behind you and see how far you've come and how beautiful the journey has been. Even if it's been tough, it's still a beautiful journey. Q: I'm wondering what you've learned about yourself over the years as you've dealt with all of these challenges in raising and, in fact, still needing to support a daughter with disabilities. How has it helped you understand in a deeper way who you are? Linda: I'm more at peace with Lindsey's challenges than I've ever been. I've come to the conclusion finally that the decisions Lindsey makes are Lindsey's decisions. They are not really a reflection on my parenting. And Lindsey has certainly taught me some lessons that I didn't even know I needed to learn such as patience, and to find laughter in some of the silly, little things. When I ask if there’s one last thing she’d like our listeners to hear, Linda says, “I truly believe that raising a child with disabilities isn't probably going to be the journey you expected it to be. But depending on how you look at it, I think it can be a fuller journey.” Linda Atwell is the award-winning author of Loving Lindsey: Raising a Daughter with Special Needs.

This is another issue holding down used car dealers or baffling them into not being as productive with their time as they are capable of being.   Even as I write this description, I realize that this is an issue that almost every small to medium-sized business owner has in 2018. Even recent high school and college graduates get caught into the trap that this concept could minimize or eliminate completely.   At the root of time management is the need to fully understand time segmentation. Here are the 4 buckets that every activity, project, task, etc will fall into: Important and Urgent Important and Not Urgent Not Important but Urgent Not Important and Not Urgent   Everything in the urgent and important bucket gets handled immediately! No exceptions and try your hardest to make sure things don't creep into this bucket. The important and not urgent bucket is where the majority of your activity will fall into. Now the idea is to sequence or prioritize these things accordingly. Not important but urgent things are a solicitation call that you are not interested in. The phone is ringing and will stop if you don't answer it soon. There is urgency but it's not important. Then there are the items that jump into crowbar their way into your daily or weekly routines that are neither important nor urgent. These are death to spend a bunch of time on, just try to move them off of your plate as quickly as possible to get back to bucket #2, important but not urgent. No big magic trick here for all my used car dealer friends! Just identify what bucket everything falls into, prioritize within each individual bucket, and things will start falling into place. The additional time you will create with this process will be yours to spend in any way you deem fit. Perhaps you need more time with the family, time segmentation!  Need more time to reinvest back into the business but need to sleep? Time segmentation! This process really works if you take action and be patient as you step through the process.   Author: Mike Ramos (president and founder of Your Car Dealer Bond LLC)   Shiny Object Syndrome video Attention Used Car Dealers!

Can I get a lower bond than $50,000? A: You can get a $10,000 surety bond as a California Used Car Wholesaler if you don't exceed 24 sales transactions per year.   Q: As a Wholesale-Only Dealer, I sell less than 25 vehicles per year. Does it matter how many vehicles I buy? A: No, the California DMV only tracks sales transactions not purchase transactions to determine this bond amount as of 2018.    Q: What is the best form of marketing for a California used car dealer in 2018?  A: It really depends on about 10 to 15 follow up questions to really get this answer correct. As a used auto dealer in a competitive environment, specific research is key because some methods of advertising are simply too saturated.    I would be glad to help with the 10 - 15 follow-up questions that would dictate the best methods of marketing for your small business.

A: Patreon is a convenient way for content creators to be paid for their work. So many creators are doing great work and Patreon is often the only way they can get paid.
