Hi there! My name is Lisa Morosky. I’m 24 years old, married to a wonderful man, and temporarily settled in Chicagoland. By profession, I’m a blogger (LisaMorosky.com, IJustWantToWinSomething.com, & SpendLessOnLife.com). I also own and operate my own virtual assistant business where I cater to other bloggers (VAforBloggers.com). One might say I have a passion for everything that is blogging.
How LisaMorosky.com Came About
I’ve always had a love affair with the Internet, and I’ve been blogging for as long as I can remember. It was only after a horrendous job experience in 2008 that I decided to turn it all into a profitable, full-time endeavor by launching this blog, as well as VAforBloggers.com, in early 2009.
My Vision for LisaMorosky.com
LisaMorosky.com is my home base for sharing my online business knowledge and experiences (mistakes, misconceptions, and mishaps included). You’ll also get a little piece of my personal life too, most likely.
I hope that you’ll find the site to be chalked full of tips and commentary on online business as a whole – with an emphasis on blogging, social media, Internet marketing, and web working.
Other Interests
When I’m not taking care of my own blogs, or my husband’s blog, or working with clients, you can find me doing one of these things:
- Spending time with family and friends.
- Making a mess in the kitchen as I try new recipes.
- Traveling anywhere I can get my husband to go with me.
- Eating popcorn while watching massive amounts of reality TV.
- Belting it out to my favorite songs.
- Playing Wii.
- Enjoying each day of life I’ve been blessed with.
Quick Insights Into My Soul
What I Am
- I am self-taught. The majority of things I know how to do on the Internet are self-taught. HTML, CSS, PHP, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, WordPress, etc…I learned it all from just messing around for hours, searching the Internet for information to try out, and making a whole lot of mistakes.
- I am a total travel addict. I haven’t been many places yet, but I have big travel plans for the next ten years.
- I am totally in love with social media. I live it. I breathe it. I love to connect with others this way.
- I am passionate about the virtual assistant work I do. I am thrilled to be able to help other bloggers free up time so they can really focus and prosper.
- I am a reality TV fiend. I will watch pretty much any reality TV show ever made.
- I am committed to experiencing everything I want to experience in life, without breaking the bank. I refuse to sacrifice my dreams and my goals because of money. I enjoy finding new ways to save and spend wisely, so I can live with no regrets. This is what SpendLessOnLife.com is dedicated to.
- I enjoy educating others on alternative career lifestyles. Sometimes I feel all anybody preaches is the status quo. I think that’s uncool.
- I am outspoken. Shocking, I know.
- I am always learning. And always sharing that knowledge.
- I am a huge football fan. The only teams that matter: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Penn State Nittany Lions.
What I’m Not
- I am not a morning person. I can’t begin working any earlier than 10 AM.
- I am never going to refer to myself as an “expert” in anything. I say this for two reasons. First of all, the word “expert” means a lot more when it’s placed on you by others. Secondly, the moment I tell you I’m an expert is the moment I’m telling you that I’ve officially learned all I need to learn. And I don’t see that ever happening.
- I am not a know-it-all about technology. I think I have above average tech knowledge, but there are a whole lot of things I really don’t understand.
- I am not a Mac user. Macs appear to be a blogger standard, but I’ve just never been interested in changing from my PCs. If ever the time comes where having a PC interferes with my productivity, then sure. I’ll switch to a Mac.
5 Goals for 5 Years
These are my five goals for the next five years (2015).
1. Continue to grow my businesses and transition them into a reasonable second income for my family. It might be taboo to say this, but I have no desire to be the primary income for my family. Currently, I am. And I will be until my husband is out of chiropractic school in the summer of 2011. But once he’s settled into a new career, I plan on scaling back, temporarily retiring, and focusing on goal number two below.
2. Start a family with my husband (who I’m crazy about). This is going to be a big focus of my late twenties.
3. Return to and continue to explore Italy. I will make this happen. My husband and I left pieces of our hearts in Italy the first time we visited in 2009.
4. Continue reaching for my idea of a healthy mind, body, spirit, and soul. I don’t think this is something that is accomplished in five years – but I plan on making serious progress in five years.
5. Become debt-free (as much as possible). At the end of five years, I’d love to have a mortgage and perhaps a car loan be the only debt my husband and I are in. I think it’s possible.
