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 ...

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 ...

I love food trucks!
And I don’t know what I like more about them, is it the great food that comes from them or is it the way they do business? Both are spectacular. It’s not just the way they can do business, but the way they are able to adapt so easily and change up the way they do business. I think it’s a concept and idea that most work from home businesses can learn from.
Why am I talking ...

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 have worked from home the past 22 years. There were a few months right after college that I worked in an office, and surviving those few months was motivation enough for me to stay away from an office environment! I just wasn’t cut out for that environment – honestly, I’m not sure how anyone can be. But what really surprises me is when people ask me “How do you do it? How do you stay motivated working from home? ...

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 I write this, I am also preparing to spend a few days in Dallas, Texas next week at our National Convention. Through the years I’ve attended hundreds of State and National conference – but for most of them, I have been an exhibitor working at the event. This time, I get to attend as an attendee and I must confess, I am incredibly excited about going!
Most of my posts are written for those who work from home, who are ...

PS. Yes, I know the “PS” usually comes at the end, but as I was writing out this post it hit me how overwhelming getting started in your own home based business can be…and how overwhelming this list can be, especially for someone wishing to start a work from home business. It can also be incredibly fun and exciting, too. Matter of fact, it should be!
I help entrepreneurs and mompreneurs get started in their own business and know that the ...

I absolutely love running across short, powerful videos that carry some punch! And that’s just what this video is!
We all know that when you work from home we seem to have a crazy hard time juggling all of the responsibilities. Most mompreneurs and entrepreneurs find themselves juggling an obscene amount of responsibilities. We have to do it all, or at least make sure it all gets done. I’m no different! Maybe that’s why I love time management tips when it ...
