Chapter 4 of iBloom’s “iChoose2 Love my Life” is one I would like to choose to avoid (just kidding, okay not really). This week is all about time management. I can’t tell you how many books, ebooks, seminars and training calls I have attended on this topic. I have even trained on it a time or two. However, no matter how hard I try I just can’t seem to manage my time efficiently or effectively. My theme word and focus for… Continue Reading…
For the self-employed, having a great idea for a business is just the starting point. In order for that business to become a reality, and for the business to grow, organizing a business’ finances is important. Businesses, whether they are global multi-nationals or single-person businesses, have to consider their finances because money is needed for many purposes, from surviving in the bad times to expanding during successful periods.

“Live as if you are going to die tomorrow, learn as if you are going to live forever.” -Anonymous I have always loved learning. I think I could go to college or take continuing education classes for the rest of my life. They say knowledge equals power, but I think knowledge equals confidence and both can help you change the world. If you learn more, you can be more, do more, give more and help more people. As an entrepreneur,… Continue Reading…

I have been 100% self-employed and living the CEO of Me™ life for almost 6 years now. I have a lot of people tell me they don’t know how I do it or that they don’t think they could do it. I also have a lot of people ask me to share my secrets to success. That was part of the inspiration for starting this blog over a year ago. I am excited to finally be starting on a series… Continue Reading…
I just read on CNN that Stephen Covey passed away today. His books and articles have inspired and motivated millions of people including me. If you haven’t ever read the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” or “The Eighth Habit” or frankly any of his books, I would definitely encourage you to do so. Those in direct sales, business owners, managers and leadership positions will especially benefit from them. May he rest in peace & my prayers go out to his… Continue Reading…
I have been reading Carrie Wilkerson’s blog for several years now. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to read and review her book “The Barefoot Executive.” This book not only inspires and motivates those with an entrepreneurial spirit; it also gives practical tips and guidance on how to turn your passion into profit. Carrie’s straight forward, nitty gritty approach in this book is refreshing. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything or come across as a motivational speaker just trying to pump… Continue Reading…
Mark Twain once said “If you eat a frog first thing in the morning, the rest of your day will be wonderful.” I have also heard Brian Tracy train on the “Eat That Frog Principe”. It basically means to take care of the projects or tasks that you do not want to do (or enjoy doing less than others) first and foremost in order to be more productive the rest of the day. I really struggle with this principle. I love to… Continue Reading…
