A few months ago I stumbled onto the iBloom website. I was immediately drawn in when I read that their mission was: “to inspire and empower every woman on the planet to live a life she loves and ultimately live a life that honors God.” That is completely in line with my life mission too! As I continued to follow iBloom I saw that they were seeking Ambassadors for 2013 to help spread their mission. I prayed about it and… Continue Reading…
“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 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…
When I lost my office “job” almost 6 years ago and was unemployed for a few months, I cut back on as many “extras” as I could. One of those “extras” was cable TV. I switched to the basic broadcast plan that had about 30 channels. Even after my direct sales business took off and I was making a full-time income again, I never upgraded my cable. I didn’t really feel like I had missed out on anything. TV can… Continue Reading…
Daylight Savings Time was observed this weekend. If you didn’t realize that you were probably late for work today. :) While many people complain about losing an hour of their lives, I personally love the time change! It means other exciting changes are on their way! Soon the flowers and trees will be blooming, the weather will be warming up and birds and bees will be busy and buzzing. With spring coming, many people will start thinking about “spring cleaning”… 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…
October marks my fifth anniversary. No, not my wedding anniversary, I’m single remember. Five years ago this month the best and the worst thing happened to me. On a beautiful, crisp autumn day I was called into the board room at the company I worked for and heard those two words Donald Trump has made famous: “You’re fired”. It came somewhat out of the blue. There were signs I should have seen but I was pretty naive at the time…. Continue Reading…
