Anyone who knows me, knows that I work hard and play even harder. I am a firm believer in giving your mind, body and spirit a rest from the work place. We simply were not designed to spend all of our life in an office cubicle slaving away behind a computer. I’m also a firm believer that our family and friends benefit greatly from our most valuable resource, our time. And I’m also a firm believer that we ...

I’m jumping back on the Blog Every Day In May Challenge again today simply because I love the topic. How can I not smile when I think about ten things that makes me really happy? Narrowing it down to ten things is difficult, but here we go!
Summer time is almost here and earlier today I started planning my first trip to the lake for ...

Recently I’ve had a few conversations with various people who have expressed similar concerns that can basically be boiled down to this: “What if my business is stuck in a rut?” Yes, the question may come in different shapes like “my business isn’t growing like others in my company” or “I don’t seem to have the same momentum that I used to have” or “it just doesn’t feel like things are happening like they used to” or “Why is their ...

Day six of Blog Every Day In May asks the question “If you couldn’t answer with your job, how would you answer the question ‘what do you do?’”
Here’s my attempt at answering that question.
I’ve discovered that most people do not like the job they have – that they would like to do something with a little more meaning or to to find a way to stay home with their kids, while still earning good money. I’ve discovered that most ...

Jenni from Story of My Life has challenged us to write about our favorite quote today. I love inspirational quotes and tweet them constantly, but it’s very difficult for me to select an overall favorite. Give me a topic or a theme and I can share a quote with you that stands out, but picking out one particular quote that is the “it” quote, that’s a challenge!
I have a document of over 1,400 quotes I’ve collected ...

In keeping with Jenni’s daily blog challenge for the month of May, today I’m writing about how to do something, and that is “How To Conquer Your To Do List.” The challenge is to write about something I know how to do. Well, I know how to get things done and make things happen…that’s what I do! I do this by keeping a to do list and finding joy in marking things off of it.
As a quick side ...

There are a few things I know very well. I know all-things-Disney. I have been a part of the magazine industry for 25 years, and I know what’s going on there. I know how to drill water wells – yes, this is a little known fact that most people do not know about me. And for the past several years I’ve been deep into the social media world. Focusing on branding, customer retention and inbound marketing, customer attraction for the ...

Do you have a great business idea but do not know what to do to shift your idea into a reality? Trust me, you are not alone. I hear this all of the time from other work from home professionals, or mompreneurs who want to take their idea to the bank or from bloggers who realize they have a huge audience and want to capitalize on their ideas. It’s actually a very common thread among entrepreneurs.
I’ve outlined several action points ...

When I first started writing this post it was going to be titled “The Top 5 Benefits of Direct Sales.” Then it grew to “The 8 Best Benefits of MLM.” Then it grew to a list of ten. Now I’m at 11 benefits and I am going to stop adding to the list, though I am confident it could easily continue growing.
Without a doubt, entrepreneurs get into direct sales and MLM for a variety of reasons. Most people want some ...

A few months ago, President Obama took a lot of heat for a comment he had made about how no business truly makes it on its own, that everyone gets help along the way. I definitely do not want to get into a political debate, but I do understand the core of what he said (even if I do believe he worded it badly and at an inopportune time).
We often see successful people and only notice the successful individual. But ...

I like math. I like numbers. But I LOVE exponential numbers! Numbers that grow exponentially are so fun to watch, especially when we’re talking business, commissions and sales numbers.
When the company I represent added a new product last week at our convention I immediately found myself doing the numbers of what some of the team leaders would make from immediate an influx of orders. When I thought about the sales on an annual basis, my mind was blown!
Companies that have ...

As most of you know, I have been in Dallas this week at the Rodan + Fields National Convention. In the months leading up to the convention there has been a major buzz about a new and exciting product launch. We all know that print media loves Rodan + Fields products and constantly rave about our line of skin care. Marie Claire just happened to let the cat out of the bag about our product announcement! Maybe we need to ...

I absolutely love my work from home career! My morning routine consists of leaving my bedroom, grabbing breakfast as I walk through the kitchen and making it to my desk or big red comfy chair to begin my day with some motivational reading. It’s a daily routine I rarely depart from. For an hour or so I will seek motivation and inspiration and then make it to the shower to finally wake up!
On non-gym days, a frequent extended-stay trip to ...
