We're sick of the same old dinners Q: I've heard you talk about grocery delivery. I tried it, and it was as much of a pain as going to the store. They forgot some of my items too! What am I missing?

Struggling to find a new hire Q: I posted a job listing for my business, and none of these applicants are a good fit. What am I doing wrong? I used Craigslist and some free job boards. I don't think the job description is the problem, either. A: Here's my secret weapon: LinkedInJobs. There are so many qualified candidates on LinkedIn looking for work, and there are lots of tools to help you narrow your search and find the right person. You choose your own budget and you can go head-to-head with big companies to find the best talent. You can pay what you want, and you can use my special link to get $50 off your first posting. Good luck! |
My car insurance is through the roof Q: I heard you mention an easy way to compare insurance rates. I tried to do this on my own once, and it was such a pain I gave up. What is it? Do I have to pay for it? A: It's called Gabi, and no — it's totally free. In just two minutes, you can compare rates for the same car or homeowners insurance coverage you have now. Customers save $825 per year on average, no joke. Gabi compares coverage across 40 of the top insurance providers, including Progressive, Nationwide and Travelers. If they can’t find you savings, they’ll let you know you have the best rate out there. Love that. Stop overpaying on your car and home insurance! Go to Gabi.com/Kim. |
