LISTENER Q&A:

Our listener questions for this week come to us from Isabeau in Vancouver, B.C. and Sarah in Wisconsin:

  • Like many parents, Isabeau has a lot of old toys and children's books laying around the house that she'd like to find homes for, but she's not certain that she has the time or motivation to learn how to use eBay. She's looking for a service—essentially a middle man—who can help her simplify the process.
  • Years ago, Sarah pursued a project that she was really passionate about, but the timing wasn't right. Now that she's at a much better point in life, she'd like to revisit it. She's incredibly motivated to get things up and running, but she feels that her family and friends are less supportive and encouraging than they were the first time. Now that she's ready and excited to get started, how can she reignite the excitement?
