Don't make yourself an easy victim for identity theft!!! https://www.consumer.ftc.gov//social-media-no-place-covid-

As business consultants, we often run into business owners that are incredible in their field of expertise but don't understand the essential concepts of making money. This limits growth potential and wealth building as people get stuck working IN their business instead of ON their business. If you haven't read the book, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki, we encourage you to read it. It will have an ROI that is thousands of times the value of the book. In the book, K...iyosaki contrasts two of his father figures, both of whom made good money, but one became rich because he understood how to manage his money and make it work for him. Here are some of our favorite quotes from the book: "Financial struggle is often the result of people working all their lives for someone else." "The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left." "It is not gambling if you know what you’re doing. It is gambling if you’re just throwing money into a deal and praying." "Most people never get wealthy simply because they are not trained financially to recognize opportunities right in front of them." "If you realize that you’re the problem, then you can change yourself, learn something and grow wiser. Don’t blame other people for your problems." Seriously, buy the book and READ it. It will be the best decision you've made in a long time! https://amzn.to/36gNWDm

If you're tired of your friends, family, and coworkers continuing to bring up conspiracy theories about how the presidential election was "stolen," send them this link from our government's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). This web page has excellent factual information about many of the rumors people continue to spread since November. However, if your friend has really bought into some of the crazy stuff out there, they won't trust the government web...site because it's not as "reliable" as that prophetic blogger who interviewed an eye witness who saw many of the items listed on this web page. This website is actually a very interesting resource that cites the facts it lists. It states, "This resource is designed to debunk common misinformation and disinformation narratives and themes that relate broadly to the security of election infrastructure and related processes." https://www.cisa.gov/rumorcontrol

Went to Downtown Roseville to pickup lunch and lattes today and Karen and I admired the awesome work that has been done to bring more life into our Downtown restaurants, which will spill over into our other retail businesses. Bounty Hunters Cafe, Goose Port Roseville, Nela's Mexican Restaurant, The Monk's Cellar Brewery & Public House, The Fig Tree Coffee, Art, & Music Lounge, Vernon Street Grill, A Part Cafe, and The Place. Thank you to the Advantage Roseville revitalization for the $21K investment in the downtown ambiance. @ Roseville, California

I got a super cool tour of the 105 Noshery, an exciting addition that's coming to downtown Roseville! It's being built by Randy & Lisa Peters, owners of the inc...redible Randy Peters Catering & Event Center that's connected to this beautiful building. This is going to be awesome! Really! Wonderful outdoor seating with flames and/or waterfall. They have the equivalent of a water bar with multiple kinds of incredible water options. The alcohol bar is stocked with hand-picked specialties. The food will have all kinds of options and you can watch them prepare it in their professional kitchen. Many items can be grab and go too. I love the details of the cabinets, the booths, the counter tops, the walk in cooler, etc. Wonderful surprises are in store for the community. See more
