Mominar 035: How To Fill Out W-4 and W-9 Forms

Mominars
You have heard of taxes. Well when you get a job, taxes are going to be withheld from every paycheck you earn. How much is taken out depends on you. You get to decide how much to withhold. And that is done when you fill out a W-4 form which your employer will give you when you are hired. If you are a freelancer or independent contractor you will often be asked for a W-9.  These are tax forms. But don’t panic! In this Mominar, I am going to walk you through how to do this.

HTL 028: The Gift of Gratitude, with Pritesh Sankhe, Founder of the ‘Gratitude’ App.

Podcast
Gratitude is one of the tenets of my philosophy in life. Discovering the power of gratitude has been life-changing for me and if I could impart only one piece of advice for anyone it would be that. How did I get the founder of this remarkable app to be a guest on my show? Here is the backstory: A few years ago, I was at, probably, the lowest point of my life and I didn’t know how to get myself out. In my search for meaning and peace, I came across the exercise of keeping a gratitude list. Something resonated with me and it felt manageable so I started keeping a journal and would try to write all the good things that happened to me that day at night. What…

Podcast
Manifestation and Visualization Today we are going to talk about RE-IMAGINING YOUR LIFE. How do you do that? Well, it is fun actually. You get to daydream. And imaging. And visualize.  Wait, you may say. Isn’t that frivolous? Or lazy? Or irresponsible. Or. ..or... or… No. It absolutely is not.  Dreaming and visualizing is actually how you begin to create your future reality.   It is the planting of the seed.  As Henry David Thoreau so eloquently described it: GO CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAMS.

She is a self-proclaimed “dreamer” and proud of it! Oh, and she is a CEO, and a podcast host, and a coach. You are going to love…

HTL 025: How To Listen To Your Intuition, with Miinkay Yu

Podcast
Listen To Your Intuition At the start of this year, I had not even considered doing a podcast. When it was suggested to me, I had no idea how to even go about starting one. But something sparked. And I kept seeing things about it. I heard people talking about it. It was showing up on my radar, and then it dawned on me that these might be signs. So I tuned into my intuition and followed where it led. And here I am. And how absolutely perfect that this episode is about how to hear that inner voice, how to recognize what it is saying to you. How to focus-on, rather than dismiss, that guidance.  I am joined today by Miinkay Yu who is a career coach and helps people define…

HTL 023: Remove Negativity and Learn How to Tune-Out the Negative Talk, with Mike Lander

Podcast
Remove Negativity My guest today is Mike Lander who has followed a very interesting path that has led him to his current title of procurement director. Among other things, he negotiates the sales of businesses and handles millions and millions of dollars. But this show is not about how to become a procurement director. It is about how to ignore and tune out those people, those words, the voices that tell you that you are less than, not good enough, not smart enough, not educated enough, or didn’t come from the right environment. It is about tuning INTO that voice inside of you that says DONT LISTEN TO THEM! LISTEN TO YOUR OWN VOICE.  Self- confidence is something that takes some nurturing. It is nice if someone else can do that…
