We’re in the last quarter of the year and the holiday season is just around the corner. That means 2023 will be here before you have time to blink. Are you ready? It’s that time of the year when the weather is getting a little colder, the leaves are changing colors and there are so…
I recently watched a Netflix series called Self Made. It’s the story of Madam C.J. Walker. She was a female entrepreneur, philanthropist, and political and social activist in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. She is recorded as the first female self-made millionaire in America in the Guinness Book of World Records. She started her…
So much to share with you from my quick 4-day trip to Jamaica last week! WOW! It was great fun and I got to share it with good friends – and made a couple new ones too! I hadn’t been out of the country in a while and being in Jamaica reminded me of just…
Do you love birthdays or are they just another day for you? Growing up on the farm, birthdays weren’t really a big deal. As I’ve gotten older, I love celebrating them more and more! Mine was Tuesday… I’m now 2 days into the last year in my 50’s! Gotta love that… because life just keeps…
After a couple minor slow downs on the trip, we pulled into the resort, went to the room, and got changed for a dinner of dover sole (it’s fish… and if you’ve never had it, you’re truly missing out!) and some live jazz music. Ok, there might have been a couple appletini’s in there too……
Do you take time off throughout the year? I have a timeshare in Cocoa Beach, Florida. For one glorious week every year I go there and sit on the beach, eat good food, rest, have fun and for the last couple years have been blessed to have shared that time with my love. Can’t you…
How often do you completely unplug? No client calls… No email… No social media… No writing… No business books, podcasts, etc. Nothing related to business on your agenda for a week – or more! When was the last time you did that?I don’t do it as often as I should but when I do take…
We all make mistakes. We all have lapses in judgement. We all sometimes justify things and do things we don’t usually do… We all do things we know better than. I don’t know about you but when I justify and do something I typically don’t, it means I have to relearn a lesson again. In…
Do you ever think about your first time? NO… not that first time! Gotcha… I mean the first time you decided you were going to go into business for yourself… The first time you approached a prospect about doing business with you… Your first sales call… Your first website… The first time you attempted to…
I had the distinct honor of sharing the first birthday of a very special young boy this weekend. I love babies and kids in general. I often say, I’m good with kids and dogs… it’s the adults I sometimes have a challenge with. And I’m only half kidding! One of my favorite definitions of marketing…
