Stability is overrated.

July 19, 2011

It’s inevitable. Every time I talk to anyone about what I do, I get questions about how I do it. How do I work from home, and keep myself motivated? How do I make myself get out of bed every day and actually work? How do you make sure you have enough to pay [...]

Today is the day

July 7, 2011

You know what they say, there is never a “good” time to do anything. Like having kids, or getting married, or starting a fitness regimen, or launching a website… There is always some reason to wait. And if you listen to the voice in your head, you’ll probably end up waiting forever. I’ve been working [...]

Alex P. Keaton’s Girlfriend

May 4, 2011

I was a big fan of Family Ties when I was younger. Who am I kidding? I’m still a big fan. I don’t know if you watched it or not, but Courtney Cox appeared on the show as Lauren, Alex P. Keaton’s girlfriend, for 2 seasons of the show. For years I had no idea [...]

Roadblocks are not always bad.

April 27, 2011

Have you ever been doing something that you thought was the thing you were supposed to do, but it seemed like it was making everything else just a teensy bit harder? Yeah, I do it all the time too. And this time, I didn’t even realize it was making things harder for me until I [...]

I Really Hate the Word “Genre”

March 26, 2011

I freaking love to write. And, if you are running your business online, you need to love it too. Or find someone who loves to write so they can write for you. When I was in college (holy crap, that was 15 years ago…) I had this horrible fear of anyone actually reading what I [...]

You Scratch My Back, I’ll Scratch Yours.

February 22, 2011

Networking is a huge part of “making it” in any business. We all know that. You meet people, you find their business interesting and you not only buy something from them – you tell your friends too. That is EXACTLY how it is supposed to work. But what happens when you toot the horn for [...]

Why the “list” is everything.

January 26, 2011

Do you have an opt-in box on your website? You know, to capture names and emails? People give you permission to email them, and you give them something in return… get the idea? It’s downright shocking to me how many entrepreneurs think it’s not necessary, or not important. Baloney! In internet marketing circles, your subscribers [...]

Second-Guessing Yourself Will Only Cause Problems. Or Will It?

January 12, 2011

About 2 years ago, I read the book Now Discover Your Strengths because Marie Forleo told me to. Now, she’s one smart lady, so when she flat out tells me to do something, I generally do it. When you are done with the first half of the book, you go online and take a loooong [...]

Bella Doesn’t Belong with Jacob.

January 11, 2011

I love Twilight. There I said it. I’m not a crazed fan (not naming names, but you know who you are), and I actually resisted it for a long long time. I finally gave in and read the books, and they were just as good as everyone said they were. There is a good chance [...]
