A facebook discussion got me thinking about this question “Is it harder to be ethical during a Recession and does it affect the value that you offer”? – Started by Shel Horowitz.
What do you think? Me? I think the two (value & ethics) are separate questions to some degree.
Ethics is something that’s at the core [...]

What a crazy month January was. First, I headed to Orlando and then the Bahamas on a short cruise. And, after that, it was time for the NAMS Internet Marketing Conference in Atlanta (which I’ll be posting about soon).
I got on a roll with life and wrapping up projects, so the blog had some drafts [...]

I was emailing one of my coaching clients just now and it reminded me of the song “I Fight Authority. Authority Always Wins”. Well, way back when, I used to sign “I Fight with Dorothy. Dorothy always Wins”. Just talk to my hubby about it and he’ll start mocking me, with a little dance and [...]

Hey guys. Happy Thursday.

Hi guys! Happy Sunday.
This past week, I’ve felt like God or the “universe” has been trying to tell me something.
Do you remember the movie “The Man with Two Brains“? In the movie, Steve Martin’s character recently lost his beloved wife, and is considering marrying again. He stands in front of a large painting of his [...]

One of the Top Things that has boosted my income is Joining Mastermind Groups.

Now, in full transparency, I have had one glass of wine. Not like a big thermos or 32 oz tumbler either. Wine-glass-size glass. So, I am slightly relaxed. In fact, I just typed “BAWK” at my VA and called her a chicken.
I’m weird. And, I’m enjoying wine. That’s my disclaimer. But, those of you that [...]

Happy Thursday. It’s summer here already in Florida. The kids are out of school, and I’m enjoying the sunshine (and afternoon storms, even).
Well, yesterday we got the news that we’re a one-income family again – mine. My husband volunteered to be laid off from the teaching job that he loved, so that someone else in [...]
