Alright, so I know you’re busy and have a ton of stuff on your plate… who doesn’t? But really… you can’t be so terribly busy that you can say no to watching a few great movies for your weekly dose of R and R can you? (Don’t answer that, just watch them anyway!) And yes, I know I’m demanding. I understand that you may have a lot weighing on your mind these days, what with your new business...
This Ain’t a Circus People! How to Juggle Multiple Clients like a Pro!
OK, so I know that when you’re first starting out as an entrepreneur, there’s a tendency to accept all of the projects that come your way. As in all… like A-L-L. Luckily it’s a natural inclination and you’re not just bonkers. Chalk it up to perhaps being excited to establish your expertise and credibility—you want to show the world that you can do anything! Or maybe, like many first...
Ms. Independence, Baseball Bats, and Breakin’ All the Rules I Can
I’ve always been a bit on the ‘special’ side, since as far back as I can remember. And by ‘special’ I do mean ‘special’! My sister and I fondly call ourselves dorks on a regular basis, and wear the label proudly. Heck, I’m surprised we don’t have special t-shirts made by now that we wear in public. With afore mentioned pride. And brightly colored too! I’m not certain just where I got this...
Twitter’s Got New Features! What Do You Make of Them?
OK, so my time’s been a bit crunched today so I’ve not written my usual length post. (What’s that you say? You’re relieved?! I think I’m hurt…) But I did want to take a few minutes to talk about Twitter, as I’m a pretty active Twitter user myself. OK, so a couple of weeks ago, cyberspace was all agog about Twitter’s announcement about rolling out new features and a new business model...
Kicking the Habit- Are You a Workaholic?
Chances are the answer’s yes. I know I am a bit of a workaholic, most definitely. But the problem is, my work often doesn’t feel like work, which is why I get so into it. And when it does feel like work, I do it anyway because I’m motivated to earn more revenue and build my business up even bigger and better. You now, some folks say that the harder you work, the faster your business will grow...
Guest Post- Branding Yourself as an Expert (Even if You Think You’re Not)
This is another guest post by Miz Sarah Harris. You can check out her last post on beating writer’s block if you’re feeling squirrely. Either way, enjoy her latest! In this troubling economy, even those of us with higher education are having a hard time finding jobs that would have been readily available a few short years ago. With graduates from masters programs taking work as...
Enter the Ranks of Super-Entrepreneur and Beef up Your Savings Strategy
OK, so this might stem from the fact that I’ve been taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace class now for the last several weeks. And in fact I wrote a post not too long ago where I talked about some of what I’ve learned so far on getting intentional and focusing on your goals. And then I talked about good ole Dave Ramsey again when I talked about emergencies being guaranteed to happen… that’s just...
Battling Distractions like a Serial Killer
OK, so I’m inspired to write about distractions again today simply because I’m stuck in a hospital room at the moment with my lovely mum, and did you know hospitals are ripe with distractions? Who’d a thunk it right? But I’m certain if I was home, I’d still be distracted because quite frankly… it’s a daily battle! When you’re working from home, you need lots of will power. No really, I mean LOTS...
Top 6 Reasons You Need to Schedule Me-Time And No Arguing!
When you’re starting out on your own and establishing yourself as an entrepreneur, the hours can be very long. And when you’re a one-woman team, juggling between being the CEO, the marketing guy (um, girl…), the secretary, the accountant, the tech administrator, and even the janitor (!) it’s hard work. Long workdays can suck the energy from you. I know, I’m feeling that energy suck today! And...
5 Things Smart Entrepreneurs Know- It’s Almost Like, Religion Kinda!
OK, maybe not exactly religion, but heck if you’re a smarty… you’re a smarty! Worship at the altar of smarty pants and flaunt it if you know it. Er… or something to that effect anyway. And if you don’t yet know these 5 things, prepare to be enlightened, and join the ranks of smarty pants the world over. Dum da dum dum… Ooohh… that was a bit dramatic wasn’t it? Alright, enough with the...
