I write about several topics in business and personal finance. I've been working in the finance and accounting field for ten years now, and know a lot about how to manage money and how it works, so I now impart my knowledge to others.
Personal Home Budgeting
I currently write my blog on personal budgeting, which is aimed at helping people to better manage their home finances through learning how to budget, and give people an understanding of how personal finances work. It includes several tips and ideas, and I'm adding to it all the time. Yes, I know it takes a while to get something like this up and running, as there isn't an incredible amount there - maybe a dozen posts or so. It'll keep steadily building as time goes by - and as it's a blog, everyone is welcome to give input and advice, as well! Yes, I moderate it so there isn't anything silly or spam on there.
Bookkeeping Course - online home study
I'm in the process of developing a home study course, delivered online, for small business owners to learn how to do their own bookkeeping and keep their business and personal finances in order. In the course I not only give the basics of a double-entry bookkeeping system, but also teach strategies on how to better manage the office and records keeping of a business, and give tips for business owners on how to better manage their personal finances.
Fitness and Martial Arts Writing
Yes, I also write about my other passions, fitness and martial arts!
Martial Arts Writing and Instruction
I have several articles published on Western Martial Arts, mostly through small press and a couple of different newspapers. I write a lot for the school itself, The Academy of European Swordsmanship, including being the primary driver of our newsletter. Currently the newsletter has fallen behind a bit, as I used to do it every month. Now I'm trying to come up with a new format and probably will only get it out every two or three months. It's a lot of work for one person to do! I also write most of the content for that site. It's a great site and gets us 90% of our students, but there is a lot more I'd like to do with it - I just need more time!
I also have several ideas for Western Martial Arts books. I have started my first one, which is a compilation of techiniques in Western Swordsmanship, and I expect that to be available for purchase before the fall of this year! So keep your eyes peeled for that.
Fitness Writing and Consulting
As far as fitness goes, I am starting to develop a new newsletter focused only on fitness and getting rid of fat. It's one of my passions, keeping in shape and eating right! It's also something that I do to some small extent is coach people in their fitness and lifestyle goals. This is much more than a fitness consultant, because I don't just design workout or meal plans - I go way beyond that and right into your lifestyle choices and the way you want to live and improve your life. I'm currently working on a book about this. And I've just started a blog on my fitness philosophy.
