It’s my birthday today. And I’m turning 50. Yep, that’s right, the big 5-0.
Up until last week, I wasn’t so keen on the idea of turning 50. I couldn’t imagine how I could be 50 years old. How did this happen? Where did the time go? I told my husband not to let anyone plan [...]
I have always been very proud of being a multi-tasker. I always felt it was a great strength.
But what I’m beginning to learn is that if I’m checking my emails while I’m attending a teleseminar (I had to put this in as I’ve done it) while I’m answering the phone while I’m blogging, where is [...]
Are you a serious business owner? Or are you playing at being a serious business owner? There is a big difference and here are a few tips I would like to share about being a business owner.

As small business owners, we must spend some quality time working on our business. These would include things that are non-billable, non-client work. In order to have and then maintain a successful [...]
I know, it’s not Thanksgiving. So what is that title about?
You know, it’s so easy to complain about poor customer service, people not treating you right, courtesy that has gone out the window – but do we take every opportunity we can to do the opposite? Do we thank the people who have contributed to [...]
I wanted to talk about a little success story. It’s about a lady who wanted to run her own successful business. She wanted to be able to work from home or her own office, working over the Internet, doing what she loved. She worked hard for a year, made a little money, but felt like [...]
I just wanted to say Happy Independence Day to everyone!
I think this day affects me more than other holidays such as Labor Day and Memorial Day. Don’t get me wrong, those are very important. It’s just that every year, on the 4th of July, I spend the day reflecting on our freedom and liberties.
