On February 29th, I am stepping up in a big way and I’m hosting a workshop based on one of my favorite finds of 2011, “The Right Brain Business Plan®.” I’ve invested myself heavily, both emotionally and financially, to become a licensed facilitator, and, to be completely transparent, I am nervous/apprehensive about the outcome. Will people come? How am I going to market this amazing program? Am I going to do a good job of delivering what people REALLY need? Blah. Blah. Blah. I’m sure you’ve been there...

A few weeks ago, my husband went to get his hair cut at his favorite place. At this particular franchise, they not only cut hair, they know how to treat a man right. Envision flat-screen T.V.’s, “manly” invigorating scalp massages, hot towel treatments and neck/shoulder massages. A guy can walk out feeling like a million bucks! Hubby loves this place. Or at least he did… Now, you have to understand, my engineer husband is very particular about his hair. He likes to spike it up in the front with a gel called...

About 6 weeks ago, I announced a 29 Day challenge called “29 Days of Gratitude.” Thank you to all who participated. I was overwhelmed by the support and participation we had for the project. Originally, I was going to give a “little something” to the person who posted the most. But, as fate would have it, we had TWO people who participated quite consistently more than others. So I’m going to send BOTH a “little something” in the mail very shortly. (And I’ll be sure to show you what it is...

The last time we talked about “branding,” I shared with you some new ideas about what it “is” and what it “isn’t.” I find that perhaps the biggest misconception about “branding” is that your logo is your brand.

read moreDo You Need a Time Out?
The concept of taking a day of rest once a week is nothing new. The ancient Jews did it. I grew up in a faith that also encouraged it. What I’ve learned later in life is that a day of rest is not only advisable, I actually experience more balance in my life when I take the time to participate in this practice. In February, I went to a conference in Los Angeles called “Spark & Hustle.” My good friend invited me and being that it’s only a short plane ride away, I accepted. I wasn’t sure what to expect as...
