This week’s Friday freebie comes at a great time for most of us. Whether you work at home or not, this is definitely one you don’t want to miss, especially since tax season is upon us.

Kristine McKinley, CPA and Certified Financial Planner, is hosting yet another free teleseminar. This time she’s going to host an hour long call, where she will answer your tax questions for free. The class will take place on February 14th, 2008 at 1:00 EST.

Remember, Kristine does taxes for a living which means not only does she know her stuff, but she gets paid good money to not only prepare other people’s taxes but to answer questions about them.

Happy Friday Everyone! Can you believe it’s Friday again already? For me this week has flown by and I feel like I’m not even close to having things done I needed to have done by today. Looks like a working weekend for me, but I hope that’s not the case for you.

As I was starting to plan my grocery list for the next week, I was browsing the net for deals and coupons and as always, my first stop was The Household Helper website.

The owner, Cara Mirabella, has great tips for coupons and tons of other household things from saving time and money to helpful tips and hints to make running a household so much easier. She’s got a blog where she posts coupons and deals on all kinds of things.

You really should check out the CVS coupons she posts if you have a CVS nearby. I wish I had one close by because this girl knows how to walk out of there with tons of stuff and only spends a few dollars. I’m telling you she’s the Queen of Couponing (yep, she made that word up I think).

Anyway, today’s freebie came in very handy for me and I think it will you too. Especially if you’re looking for ways to save money especially on your groceries. I don’t know about you, but I can easily spend $150 a week on groceries for my family of four and with a baby on the way, I know that’s only going to go up and up. After all, I’ve got 2 growing boys and a hard working hubby who love their food!

Cara has 2 free ebooks to give to anyone who subscribes to her newsletter. Once or twice a week she sends those who subscribe deals, coupons, and helpful tips. And they are tips you’ll actually USE - not just junk to fill your inbox. The two ebooks she gives you are:

Saving Money on Grocery Shopping
This is an awesome ebook that makes it super easy to put some of that hard earned cash back in your pocket and still have great meals the whole week through. I’m saying goodbye to that $150 chunk of change that comes out of my pocket starting this week thanks to this one.

200 Problem Solving Tips for Your Home & Health
I haven’t had a chance to dig into this one yet, but if it’s anywhere near as good as the grocery shopping one, I know I’ll get tons of useful information from it. Lord knows we’ve got enough problems in this house so any tips to help solve them have got to be good!

To get your free ebooks just sign up for the Household Helper newsletter. You’ll see the sign up box in the top right corner of the page. Enter your name and email address and you’ll be sent the link to download the ebooks.

Be sure to come back here and let me know what you thought of them and how they helped your household run smoother. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

A few weeks back I talked about starting a prayer journal. Well this week’s freebie is on the same topic.

Journaling can be a very rewarding experience. Even if you don’t have a journal specific to prayers or God, it’s still a great way to look back on things that have happened in your life and see just how far you have come. Journaling is also a great motivator.

For me personally, I journal for those reasons, but I also do it for my kids. I want them to see just how much they mean to me, get a look at what life is like for me. Don’t you think when they have kids of their own they would love to see that they aren’t the only ones who goes through the trying times with their kids? Who knows, maybe I can help them through a difficult situation in the lives with my journaling.

I also find that my journal helps to remind me that things aren’t as bad as they may seem. When I sit down at the end of the day to write, I find that many times as I’m rethinking my day and the stressful situations that occurred that day, I realize just how lucky I am to be sitting there with the ability to write the day’s happenings down. I also take time to reflect on the positive things that happened that I may have forgotten about. We all know that bad things tend to outweigh the good, but when you are given the opportunity to replay the day, those good things pop back up and leave you with a smile on your face that had you not stopped and rehashed the day, you might have easily forgotten.

If you’ve thought about starting a journal, but need some guidance getting started, check out our very own Spiritual Wahmmy, Alyssa’s, Free 7 Day Journaling eCourse. Although it’s catered to prayers, it can be a great tool for any type of journal.

If you like what you see in the course and want to take your journaling a bit further, stop by and check out the 30 Day Journaling Guide as well.

I subscribe to the Marketing Profits Newsletter over at Internet Profit Planning as well as frequent Angela Will’s blog there where she lists a Free Tool Friday each week that helps online business owners in some way.

This past weekend, Angela created and posted a very helpful tool for me and I’m sure other’s alike. Being it’s the New Year, it is a great time to really sit down and focus on where you want to be this time next year with your business. If you’re like me you have good intentions, but the planning and focusing always get off track somewhere along the line.

Angela’s Fill in the Blank Internet Profit Plan & Goal Map is the perfect thing to help those of us who always seem to push our own goals to the back burner stay on track. I have printed the pdf file out and took the time to actually sit down and fill it in with 2 of my own goals for this year for Take 5 Virtual Assistance.

It now resides on my cork board, right next to my desk (along side my upcoming client projects) where I’ll see it each and every day so I no longer have an excuse for putting my own business behind everything else.

So, if you’re looking for a bit of focus and need something to help you actually visualize what you want to do this year with your business, head over and grab your very own Internet Profit Plan & Goal Map by clicking here.

If you have a website, you know that in order to get anywhere you need to have people visiting your site. But, did you know you can get tons of visitors (ones who are really interested in what you have to offer) without paying a penny?

Yep, you sure can and today’s freebie will show 7 ways to do just that.

Want the report above? Just click the link here and it’s all yours.
This is a pdf file so in order to save it to your computer, simply right click the link and choose save as.

Short, sweet and to the point this week. That’s what Friday is all about right?
