My Private Facebook Group – Katie's Encore Career Entrepreneurs If you are interested in an encore career as an entrepreneur, you might have no idea at all where to start. I sure didn't when I got started! Here is a bonus YouTube video addressing that very dilemma that I recorded a little while back. Take a listen HERE I've set up a private Facebook group as a place where my “peeps” can go for encouragement, tips and tricks, to ask questions and find answers, and to share with other like minded persons. My private Facebook group is by approval only. […]

Persistence And Little Tiny Baby Steps Sometimes all the persistence one can muster is to take a few little tiny baby steps at the close of a day that has seemed very long in many ways. Don't underestimate the courage that this requires! If today is this kind of a day for you, then give yourself proper credit for extending yourself enough for those little tiny baby steps that you are able to take. Some days are just like that and I hope to encourage you to carry on, doing even just that one simple thing that you are able […]

Starting Where You Are… So, I've been thinking about starting where you are. It sounds terribly silly, doesn't it? I mean, let's be real! Where else can you possibly start? The thing is that most of us actually do try to start somewhere else instead. We try to start “ahead of ourselves” which inevitably leads to frustration. First we need to know where we are now, and we need to know WHO we are now. There is something magical about this whole equation once we get it going. Seeing clearly the difference between where we are now and who we […]

New Video Reveals Secrets Of Making Money Well Into Retirement If you are retired, or looking at retirement in the near future, you are probably wondering how you will ever be able to afford to retire. Generations before ours anticipated working at one company their whole career and being “taken care of” by that company via a company owned retirement plan. Now baby boomers are facing a huge financial crisis as the privatization of retirement plans has not quite worked out as anticipated or promised. We need new solutions that go far beyond what 401k and 403b or IRA plans are actually […]

So, How Ever Did I Get Here? Now, there's a question! You see all I ever wanted was to be was a nurse (since age 4 when I had my appendix taken out and played “Nursing School” down the hall from my room in Pediatrics) and a mother (of 5, according to my Mom). I'm a very lucky girl, you see, because both of those dreams came true. However, I didn't exactly take the “fast track” to fulfillment of my dreams. It was more like a long, winding detour that got me there in the end. Oh well, you know […]

So, I'm here in amazingly beautiful Puerto Vallarta and enjoying every minute of this “working vacation” with its very stimulating business intensive and the balmy tropical setting. The sunset on the beach and over the water during last night's dinner was serene, majestic, and warm in great contrast to the bitter cold of the Northeastern United States. That is home and I love it, but this is heaven. There is so much to learn as a new start up business owner and I am so blessed and grateful for finding the most awesome bunch of people to work with that […]

Time flies when you are having fun, they say. Here we are, already more than a month into 2016. Are we having fun yet? I certainly am. Starting your own business is at once exciting, nerve racking, inspiring, and enormously busy. It surely helps if you can affiliate with a company that has built most of the nuts and bolts of a working business for you. That is a wonderful trick to getting started small with lots of potential and not tens of thousands of dollars to invest up front. If you can find a company that has products already created […]

Sending a shout out to all of my people and some real encouragement to answer your big “WHY”. If you are an entrepreneur there are going to be times when you “just don't feel like” doing something that needs to be done! I sincerely doubt that any of us completely escape this type of scenario. Let's face it. There are just some tasks that don't, in and of themselves, motivate us very much at all. It's for times like these that you need to be able to refer to your “WHY.” You need to be able to quickly access the […]

Happy 2016! Letting go of the past, and looking forward to a bright future at the beginning of this new year. Each day is also a new beginning. Isn't that wonderful? And that is why it is SO critical to never give up! Whatever you did, or did not do, last year is behind you. Whatever your successes, whatever your failures, all of that is behind you now. If 2015 was a little tough on you, all of its challenges are in your past and you have the choice to start this new year with a clean slate. If 2015 […]
