Is Your E-mail Address Hurting Your Business?
We all use e-mail every day. And while social media gets most of the buzz, it’s really e-mail (social media’s less sexy roommate) that gets the work done, day in and day out. All of which means that if you own and operate a small business, you need to be sure that you’re taking full advantage… Continue reading Is Your E-mail Address Hurting Your Business?
Things I Have to Have: Leg Warmers
Yes, I am a proud child of the 70’s and 80’s! I loved a lot of things from that era but Olivia Newton-John and Flashdance were total obsessions! Like most girls, I cut and/or ripped every sweatshirt I could get my hands on. I had leg warmers then (for dance school), and now I have leg warmers again in my wardrobe! It came out of… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: Leg Warmers
5 Ways to Make Your Business Look More Professional
When you work for someone else, your employer provides you with a computer, a phone, an email address and business cards. The company has a logo, a website and procedures established for how to get the work done. But … when you work for yourself, you start with none of that.

Things I Have to Have: Ray-Bans!
My first style, the original gold/green Aviator Classic acquired from my Dad in the 1980s (seen front and center above). Now referred to as “Pop-Pop’s glasses” in my immediate family. Not because of the style, but because they were his! And I have loved Ray-Bans ever since. Wayfarers, Aviators, mirrored or dark, I love them all! They are… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: Ray-Bans!

When meeting new clients, there’s one question I hear over and over: “How can I take my business to the next level?” Some even ask if there is a specific checklist or template they can use to make this happen. Unfortunately, there is no universal set of tactics that are suited for every business. Right away, every… Continue reading Want a Better Business? Start With What’s Broken

iPhone Earbuds
Not the latest technology but very practical. Yes, I’ll admit it, I really like the wired iPhone earbuds that come with any new iPhone. They are super simple to use and, more importantly, you don’t have to CHARGE them! Just plug them into your phone and GO!

Oat Milk Creamer
Is coffee an everyday event for you? I stopped drinking coffee for a number of years but I’m back into enjoying my one cup a day. I’m told it’s best to wait at least an hour after waking to have that coveted cup of joe. Has something to do with letting your natural energy kick… Continue reading Things I Have to Have:

Are You Wasting More Time Than Necessary?
One of the things I love about my clients is that they are all entrepreneurs. They’re excited about their work and they’re passionate about their ideas. They love their businesses (sometimes) as if it were one of their children. And they spend a lot of time working. That’s the good news. The bad news is that… Continue reading Are You Wasting More Time Than Necessary?
