Her best advice is to be a leader in your projects and connect with your clients on a deeper level. I'm a content writer, speaker, and the founder and director of FreelanceSpeak, a blog and coaching business for freelancers. After taking a content-marketing course at work, I saw an opportunity to create a more fulfilling career on my own terms. I was hired to write location-specific articles, and I used those articles as samples to land my next client, a content agency.

Since then, my extra acre of yard space has brought in more than $26,700. Renting out my empty yard has been great as a fairly passive income source. If you have extra space that you're not using right now, I'd definitely recommend trying out renting it as storage.

And the most important messages for older children involve swimming lessons with water safety competence as an essential life skill to be taught to all children; there are notable disparities in access to swimming lessons, and drowning rates are higher in minority populations. Anyone involved in activities on water where there is a current (tubing on a river, for example) should be wearing one of those life vests. In fact, she said, parents need to understand the importance of continuing to model safe behavior as their children get older. Ms. Gage said that the only laws that regulate life vests are connected to boating — so people tend to assume that there’s no need for life vests in other open water activities.
