Hey there, Entrepreneurs and Wannabe's, They say that we become like the five people with whom we spend the most time. I've had very good reasons to consider that maxim lately, so I've given it a bit of thought. But this isn't about me. It's about you! Who are the five people with whom you spend the most time and are they your mentors or role models? Are they people that you admire and wish to learn from along the way? The past year has given me the opportunity to stretch myself, to meet many new people and to learn […]

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, Entrepreneurs. I'm musing today about the Entrepreneur Mind. It may go without saying that entrepreneurs probably are unusual thinkers, most likely walk to the beat of a different drummer, and may not take kindly to being directed or “bossed around” by self appointed or company appointed authorities. There is something else though! Entrepreneurs think about what they want, even if it is something that might be challenging for them to have or experience. Entrepreneurs are generally self motivated, or at least expert in devising ways to motivate themselves. They may or may not be “driven” […]

Hey there, Maybe everyone has a secret! Maybe every person out there has a different secret that speaks to their condition. This was mine: Just nearly a year ago now as my FMLA was expiring and it began to dawn on me that I was probably not going to be able to go back to my nursing career as I had been hoping, I began searching for a solution to how to make money from home on my computer. I started with the obvious things like completing surveys from home, stuffing envelopes, etc., and checked them out. But these systems […]

Hey there, You may have already discovered that Trying Harder Doesn't Help! You see, most of us have been brought up on the notion that one must work really, really hard to have what we want, to be successful and happy. You don't have to be frazzled, worn out, and stressed out. And you don't have to twist yourself into a pretzel trying to be someone that you are not either! You can live the life that you were meant to live. You can become the person that you were meant to be, destined to be. And the formula for […]

Hey there, I was watching my 5 hens yesterday running around the yard after bolting out of the door of their pen, desperate to get out and scratch and peck in the leaves along the edges of the yard. You see, that is what they love to do ~ scratch and peck. The thing is that they are flock birds, mostly. You see, if one hen finds something interesting, her four sisters run after her wanting some of the action if it turns out to be something special. She might just be checking something out and it might be nothing much, […]

Hey there, There are many perks to owning one's own business. People my age, baby boomers and grandparents in particular, love the lifestyle freedom that owning their own business affords them. My closest colleagues in this business system love the freedom of being able to work on their business anywhere in the world, literally! We can pick up and travel to visit with grandchildren, or just to enjoy other locations and cultures, or to attend a business Mastermind in some beautiful tropical location and take our business with us on the go. We can work this business anywhere there is […]

Happy Memorial Day to all my peeps! Oh, how I am LOVING my lifestyle freedom this Memorial Day weekend! It is the dream life that I used to think was impossible, but am now living! High five to all the entrepreneurs and encore career persons out there who are living the dream this weekend! And a great big, huge thank you to the many, many veterans who have sacrificed their time with their families, their months, or years, or even their life, so that we can enjoy the freedom to choose to work in a “traditional job or profession” or […]

Hey there, Today I want to encourage my entrepreneur readers who are doing or considering email marketing with a few suggestions to help you increase your email conversions. One of the most important concepts I learned in Montego Bay is to always include a “CTA”, a Call To Action. In effect, we ask people who are interested in learning more to “raise their hand” and let us know that they are and why they think they will be a good fit with us. These individuals are our most engaged audience. They are letting us know that they are interested. Second, […]
