Delegation. What is this crazy idea you speak of?! Relax. It’s really not that crazy of an idea at all. “Delegation means delegating responsibility, authority and accountability”. Now… doesn’t that sound pretty sweet? Sheesh, it does in my book! Who wouldn’t want to hand off a bit of responsibility and accountability to someone else? In strictly a good way of course! 😉 Effective delegation...
OK, so I got a pretty good response when I talked about SEO and social media the other day. Which led me to ponder… What do you really know about search engine optimization or SEO? I mean really. Which led me to the somewhat warped conclusion that after discussing it briefly… I feel we should discuss it some more.

This post is by one of my good friends and mentors, Dennis Becker. Since beginning my journey to self-employment I credit him and his forum a large part of my success. They are like my ‘home away from home’ on the Internet, and every person in the Earn1kaday forum is a gem. I hope you enjoy the post!

If you are running a small business, YOU are the business. Even if you’re actually selling a product, what you’re really selling is yourself and your service. So how do you sell yourself? Legally that is? :) First of all, be accessible. Set up your business so that your clients can contact you, personally. Doesn't have to be a phone number, but email access is great. Have a website, check (and...
OK, so just to be clear, I'm a huge believer in faith, the power of positive thinking, and that yes, miracles do happen. So I'm not knocking any of those things, or the power that hope can have in a person’s life and their perceptions of the world. That doesn't mean I'm going to leave my livelihood up to those things. C’mon, a girl’s gotta eat! And shop, and hang with friends, and go see cool...
