OK, so I’m not a huge fan of #FollowFriday these days, because most folks just lump a huge tweet full of people together and say #FF with no specific reason on why you should follow those people, or have auto-tweets set up that recommend the same Tweeps every Friday. However I do participate here and there and try to thank the folks who recommend me. That said, I decided to write a post today on...
Photo by Molly OK, so I know by some people’s standards I might be seen as a pretty busy bee. I blog, I ghostwrite, I guest post, and I Tweet just to name a few. I also have my own projects in the works, I have a home to maintain, and mustn’t forget to work on my fitness while I’m at it! And I do it all with a smile while raising two crazy boys… so take THAT Super Mom! So I won’t even get into...
Photo by Dev Null Let me tell you a little story first. (Warning.. grab a coffee, take a break… this one is long!) Once upon a time I too, was in that same swivel chair as you are, thinking about my future and the futility of my career as I realized that I was headed for a bleak looking dead-end. Yep… My near future dead-ended smack into a solid brick wall that could just about stop a...
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...
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...
Working a J.O.B. sucks. And I can say that because I used to work one. A back-breaking one at that. And now I don’t. Yay me! I’m J.O.B.less! Does that make me a slacker? Not even. That makes me 100% self-employed. 100% self-sustaining. 100% entrepreneur and singer of freedom and contentment. Now I don’t say that to brag, not at all. If you met me in person you’d find I’m pretty humble 99.87%...
Yes, I watch TV. And don’t lie. You know you do, too. It’s likely that it’s one of your secret guilty pleasures. And why not? Television makes for great writing material! When there is nothing better to do or the need to get “inspired” arises, many people do turn on the TV sets to see what’s “new.” TV also makes for a conversation piece. Did you know that television shows drive social media...
Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to receive a tweet and an email by the lovely Farnoosh of ProlificLiving letting me know she’d nominated me for a Beautiful Blogger Award. To be honest, being ‘somewhat’ new to this whole blogging community I’d never heard of it before, but nevertheless I was totally psyched to be nominated. (First time I can remember being nominated for anything… like ever...
Sometimes you have to get focused and intentional about your goals if you really want to succeed in business and in life. As Dave Ramsey says, get gazelle intense!
Being an entrepreneur takes guts. Yes there can be some glory in it (hmnn… or maybe that’s just in my own secret little dreams and fantasies…) but there can also be a lot of pain, fear, doubt and disillusionment. Self-employment isn’t easy and anybody who tells you it is… they’re lying through their scummy little teeth and you should knock a few out just for kicks. Yes, I’m bloodthirsty...
