Hey there, This encore career entrepreneur is also a grandmother and passing along her celebration of the brand new arrival to her family. Please welcome August William Sullivan Munch, who arrived in good speed on 7/24/16, weighing in at 6# 15 oz, and measuring 19.5#. Entrepreneurs, when the way is challenging, it is helpful to have your big “WHY” firmly in your pocket and this beautiful family is a large part of my “big WHY.” It is for them that I pick myself up and keep going whenever the way is challenging. I love owning my own business as an […]

Hey there, Your encore career entrepreneur is celebrating her first 5 figure month (not bad for a “hatchling”). In fact this celebration is about an epic 5 figure DAY! Now that is something to celebrate and to shout from the rooftops. So, I'll keep this one short and instead of writing a longer email, I'll let you listen to an “excerpt” from my story: Excited about having found a system that works if you work it and even works for you while you are sleeping!

Hey there, They say that confession is good for the soul. I wanted to share some true confessions and the published story of one of my fellow entrepreneurs. True confession: I LOVE being an entrepreneur, love the creativity of it, love learning new things every day, trying new things, love building my days around the natural energy I have, love feeling that I can still help others, love that so many of my gifts and my skill set are transferable to my new venture, and that my income increases as I increase the value I share with others. I love […]

So Entrepreneurs, do you need to heat up or cool down. I'm here to tell me that I need to heat up AND cool down. We are having a rather brutal heat spell here in northern New Jersey, so it is incredibly important to stay hydrated and, as much as is possible, to cool down. Today was good for nothing more than moving from a paddle fan cooled house to an air conditioned car, spending as little time as possible out of doors in the sun. So I clearly need lots of cooling down as far as my environment. On the other hand, […]

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 […]

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 […]

I sort of left you all with a cliffhanger yesterday and a little “cheat tactic” for the “traumatized by suspense” among us. So back to the story line. Now, where was I? Now I feel blessed to have stumbled upon the perfect encore career vehicle for someone like me! Oh, there was a learning curve involved, but I like a challenge. On my computer, I can make everything bigger and easier to see. I can work and rest at intervals, as I feel able, and at the times that are best for me, whether in the middle of the day […]

It is coming up to the one year anniversary of the day that changed my life forever, so today I want to talk to you a little bit about turning tragedy into triumph with an encore career. Instead of mourning an ending, you can celebrate a beginning! I am doing just that, and eagerly look forward to helping others do the same. In just about three weeks from now it will be a year since the day that took away my profession of thirty years, suddenly without warning, and with a startling finality. Of course that finality is all in […]
