Thanks Dave and Melody for your great ideas.
How cool to trade for rent!

I have traded for a vacation rental, loads of personal services, and think its a good way to go. (Of course you have to have really clean agreements around this.)

Dave – do you think that wolf at the door is a stronger motivator for men? I wonder if a man’s more “got get ‘em” attitude is more challenged when survival is at stake. I’d love your perspective on the gender aspect to this.

There is also a completely different kind of person – one that for who the wolf at the door STIMULATES the creativity. They are interesting types too. Spent time with one just last week.

That post was packed with lots of breakthru energy. I am one of those die hard entrepreneurs who would rather “fight than switch” when it comes to getting even a part time job. However there is more than one way to create relief in this situation. One just has to be creative.

At one time I was actually able to trade rent for coaching – yeah, who’d a thunk it! And that one tiny change in my financial responsibility lifted a huge burden and opened up a creative gusher and several new streams of income.

It’s important to realize that there are many more choices that we might first realize. That’s why a coach is so helpful when new options need to be discussed.
