Gratitude is a funny thing. We talk a lot about giving thanks for the things or people or events we are grateful for, but when it comes down to it, gratitude is sort of ephemeral. It comes, it goes, and sometimes we forget all about it. But when we pay attention, it’s like an angel with gossamer wings. It inspires, makes us feel good about ourselves and our lives, and allows us to...
OK, so I realize it’s no longer 2010 and this post is a day late and a dollar short. In my defense, I’ve had a lot going on and kiddies underfoot, so finding some time to get things done that I want to get done has been uber difficult. And does it make me a totally bad parent when I say I am SO glad my kiddies are off to school tomorrow?! LOL No really, I adore them but the two week...
Hey my lovelies! Hope ya’ll had a killer Christmas holiday… I know I’m still a bit sluggish from all the yummy food! Anyhoo… I’ve Got News! But you have to watch my very first BGB video below in order to find out what it is. I’m not so hot with the whole video thang, so cut me some slack if I flub here and there OK? 😉 After you watch the first one...
OK, so this post is inspired by two things actually. One- Farnoosh and Abubakar have so kindly invited me to participate in their Life Lesson’s series, in which 80+ bloggers have shared their own insights and wisdom when it comes to living. Now it’s my turn. Two- Jac’s recent blog post, on the 20 things as a female solo-preneur she knows for sure and you need to know too. Yet more wisdom and I’ll...
Hey BGB’ers… time for me to share some info on yet another cool event that might just be happening in your area sometime soon. Especially if you live in or near areas like L.A., New York, the ATL, and Chicago to name a few. And for my Orlando people, mark your calendars for May 19- 21! (No, really… mark your fracken calendars, I want to see you there if you can make it!) 😉 Where exactly is...
It’s no secret that effective branding requires building a fan base. But in order to build a fan base, you gotta first know who your fans are. Lady Gaga has this whole concept nailed, and even has a pet name for her people… “Little Monsters”. She knows EXACTLY who she’s writing, singing, and performing for. As a writer in particular, it’s always important to know who your audience is, what they...
OK boys and girls. Listen up. I know it may seem I’ve been rather promote-y lately with all the cool things I’ve been endorsing BUT… it can’t be helped! ‘Tis the season, and all these things I’ve been yammering about lately, are… well COOL. Duh. Anyhoo, that brings me to today and something ELSE killer cool that I can’t help but share. Some of you may or may not know my buddy David of Heroic...
This is a guest post by James Adams. While I’m the first to say branding is about more than just a few business cards and a slick logo, branding literature is still important. Really, there’s something to be said for putting your best foot forward, and quality business cards can be a marketing tool well worth the investment, that allow you to do exactly that. So keep reading for some...
Alright ladies (and gents too, this could be an awesome holiday gift idea for your entrepreneurial lady love)… this post will be short and sweet. I’m a little late on this, been a bit unexpectedly tied up today, but… there’s a new book out there that is a game-changer for entrepreneurial-minded and entrepreneur-curious women. And since BGB is all about the entrepreneurial drive, how...
This is a guest post from the lovely Kazia. She’s a busy mom herself, and I’m a huge admirer of mom’s who are rockin’ it when it comes to entrepreneurship. Here’s her story on why she thinks her kids (and probably YOURS too…) are smarter than us all when it comes to biz. Be sure to make her feel welcome, and drop any thoughts or questions in the comments below...
