Hey all you entrepreneurial rockstars. Have ya missed me? 😉 Unfortunately in addition to going through some family turmoil and custody issues with my step-son… I was also hit with a migraine early Monday eve, and it literally put me out of commission all week long. Today is the first day I’ve rolled out of bed without pain in my head. (Look… I’m a poet and didn’t know it too!) Hopefully, (fingers...

Quick note: You may have noticed some funky looking links within my posts. This is my experimentation with monetizing my blog (I am after all an entrepreneur…) so if you’re a regular reader, you can feel free to disregard these links… they’re identifiable by the green color and double lines beneath them! 😉 Most freelancers and entrepreneurs may not be aware of it, but...
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...

We all have those days. Those days where we let laziness and procrastination get the best of us. Those days where you don’t want to out of bed and pull back those curtains quite yet. You don’t want to start the day, preferring instead to prolong the warm fuzzy moments you stay curled up like a caterpillar underneath the covers. You want to skip breakfast and even forsake a shower and (gasp)… a...
