I do not know about you, but when asked if I could use some extra money, the answer has never been “no”. Whether you need additional funds for pending holidays, home projects, emergency repairs, kids (braces, college, clothes, everything and anything), investing back into your business, or for pure enjoyment purposes, there are always ways…
