Each of us lives only now, in this brief instant. The rest has been lived already. So make the most thoughtful choices you can today that will lead to a better future.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Stop drifting and hoping a magic solution will appear. Instead, you can participate in rescuing yourself. Find peace by pursuing facts through trusted advisers and research rather than the blind trust of salespeople trying to sell you something by almost any means necessary.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Make decisions to deal with your debt with logic and facts, not assumptions, and worry about what other people will think. People who judge you will soon be forgotten. Nobody thinks about anyone that much.
Steve's Thought of the Day
The world is nothing but constant change. Your life is only a perception. Choose a way out of debt based on facts, not assumptions. Do what is best for your future because those that judge you will not feed you.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Do you have a greater responsibility to repair your financial past or your financial present and future? Make good choices that allow you to tackle your debt and immediately start building your emergency fund and saving for retirement. Tomorrow will be here before you know it. Lost time is a sin.
Steve's Thought of the Day
There is no sense in wasting a perfectly good financial mistake. Instead, learn from it and do better moving forward. The past is gone. Turn and face the future now.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Those who judge you for past financial mistakes are not your friends. So don't make choices about your future out of fear of what they may think. Instead, make choices based on truth, fact, and what is best for you moving forward from today.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Don't believe everything you think. Challenge your assumptions about getting out of debt. Do what is best for you, not others.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Is it less moral to file bankruptcy or to not take action that leaves you old, broke, hungry, and dependent on others?
Steve's Thought of the Day
If bankruptcy is so bad, why did our Founding Fathers specifically include it in the U.S. Constitution as protection for financial difficulties?
Steve's Thought of the Day
Maybe it is time to read what the Bible really says about bankruptcy instead of listening to the assumptions of others. Throw out your misperceptions and you'll be fine. (And who is stopping you from throwing them out?) - Marcus Aurelius
Stop listening to people that say bankruptcy is a last resort. It is neither first nor last. It is a tool like credit counseling, debt settlement, and others. For the best result, you need to use the right tool for the job.
Steve's Thought of the Day
People that tell you to avoid bankruptcy want to sell you something else are repeating something they heard or do not know what they are talking about. Get the facts and then make your own decision. Don't let an unskilled script-reading commissioned salesperson make life decisions for you.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Debt problems are like fingerprints. No two are alike. A one-size-fits-all solution will give you a one-size-fits-all result. You deserve better.
Steve's Thought of the Day
You are not your debt. Your value, self-esteem, and existence should not be defined by the money troubles you may be facing right now. Debt problems are solved with proper action, not guilt, self-hatred, and disgust.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Debt is nothing more than math wrapped in emotion. The math is easy, the emotional part leads us to do impulsive things. Not the right thing.
Steve's Thought of the Day
What type of money personality do you have? It is important to know. Take my online test now and discover how you unconsciously deal with money, credit, and debt.
Steve's Thought of the Day
How much retirement savings are you willing to throw away by dealing with your old debt instead of preparing for your financial future? Find how much you will lose by making the wrong choice. Use my online debt repayment calculator now.
Steve's Thought of the Day
Does it make more sense to ask for life-altering debt advice from an unskilled and untrained commissioned salesperson in a call center or an experienced debt coach like Damon Day that provides a customized solution for money troubles?
Steve's Thought of the Day
Throw out your misperceptions and you'll be fine. (And who is stopping you from throwing them out?) - Marcus Aurelius

Hi Khaleal, I think we need to give regulators and consumers group a better perspective of this industry. I believe they have a misconception that the only people that offer the service are the fly by night companies, when in reality I know there are good sound business people that not only care for consumers but do a heck of a job for them. I am just tired of the good actors taking the fall for the bad actors and if we all pull together and show transparency and results. i believe this industry can regain it’s proper image that I believe it deserves. Alex V alex@neweradebt.com
Thanks for the responses. I was curious about the content of the webinar. I just wanted more information on states that are not restricting debt settlement providers. I am in AZ and I am very aware of AZ statues and requirements, I need more information on TX, & NV and any other states that allow debt settlement. To answer your question Alex on getting companies together will be a task. I would be interested in hearing your ideas……
Hi Guest and Khaleal, I am sorry you might have missed the point of the webinar. I had the opportunity to speak with Scott about the webinar before and after. I believe somehow you might have gotten the wrong impression. I believe the whole point of the webinar was based off of a previous call that was discussed. Many business owners in our space have been relying on “interpretation” of the rules that apply to what it is we do. Some people are even operating based on opinions given to them by some outside council, that may not be vested in the industry. I have been in the industry for 11 years and I still believe there is ongoing changes and regulations that may apply to use based on recent case studies that absolutely affect what it is we do today and moving forward. Let’s face the facts. Many people got into this industry because they saw an opportunity without even considering the fact that they were entering the world of Financial Services and the rules that pertain to that world. The main focus is to see if people are interested in learning more about the rules that apply to our individual companies and to make smart business decisions as to what States require what. If you ask 10 companies as to licensing requirements you will get probably 10 different answers. If we can get enough companies interested in getting together and discuss these details in person in a conference room, that would probably dismiss much of the myth (it cannot be discussed on a conference call and do it justice). I for one am trying to see if 10-15 companies are willing to get together in the west coast (California) to see what will be affecting our marketability in the different states, then ANON ONLY then would people decide to see if it made sense to hire a consultant to help you navigate through the paperwork requirements for each state. I believe a meeting like this has merit and will be very useful to get all of the compliant companies together to effect a change on the perception of this industry. I hope you might find this a little more useful in deciding. If we all don’t come together and do the business the right way, don’t be surprised to see the Government agencies throw out the baby with the bath water. Sincerely, Alex Viecco New Era Debt Solutions
Really? I thought it was helpful. It’s not easy to keep up with new legislation for each state. Venable charged me $2,500 just for clarity on 3 states. Scott provided a snapshot of licensing, bonding and insurance requirements on 6 states for FREE, not sure what else you were looking for?
This “webinar” was a big disappointment, he simply said that the states have laws or licensing requirements, and if we want to do business in a state then try to comply with those requirements, thats it. The powerpoint presentation was a few screenshots of a few states laws. No one learned anything new. It seems the real objective of this was to sell his consulting services.
