The Power of Choice

I’ll never forget seeing Uncle Tony in the hospital bed... Doors of hospital rooms are so big and wide – they make you feel exposed just standing there. And that smell is always there... some mix of chemicals and medications that's supposed to smell “clean,” but doesn’t. The smell and the feeling of exposure disappeared when I saw Tony. My favorite uncle, reduced to a shadow of the man he used to be. Warm sunlight streamed through the window, but seeing him gave me chills. It was hard to believe this shrunken, frail man was my Uncle Tony.

How to Create the Life You Want

It really isn't such a big mystery. When my family and I moved back to South Florida from Texas, people wanted to know "why?". Everyone thought there was a big juicy story to be told. But, the bottom line was that it was simple. We did not enjoy living in Texas. Now don't get me wrong; there are some perfectly lovely people in Texas. However, it just wasn't for us. You see, I'm a New Yorker at heart and quite frankly every time I heard the word "dang" or "y'all" it was like nails on a chalkboard.

Dirty Laundry is Good for Your Business

“I love working from home, I get so much laundry done and today I even cleaned out my refrigerator.” This was a comment I overheard the other night while waiting for the PTA meeting to start at my daughters’ school. Unfortunately that was far from the first time I have heard a work at home mom say something like that in the last couple of months. When I hear this, my first question is “how’s your business going?” And inevitably I hear “well I just don’t have time to focus on developing new products or work on my marketing plan.” Is it any wonder?

These Shoes Ain’t Just Made for Walkin’: The Cause Marketing Biz Model

“I know it’s a lot of money, but for every pair of shoes purchased, a pair is donated to help kids all over the world who can’t afford shoes.” These were the words of my 13-year-old daughter as she was convincing me to buy her not one, not two, but three pairs of TOMS shoes! Even though I thought three pairs of shoes at $77-a-pop was a bit extravagant; I justified the decision in my head, telling myself that I would be helping kids who weren’t nearly as fortunate as my own.

Are You a Victim or a Leader? Your Choice!

Recently to my great surprise, I found out that the show “24” was coming back to television for a new season. This is my favorite TV show of all times. It is filled with well-developed characters, intriguing story lines and suspenseful cliffhangers that end each episode. If you are not familiar with the show, the entire season takes place during one consecutive 24-hour period. The day revolves around the main character, Jack Bauer.

Protecting the Lifeblood of Your Business

You could have endless debates about practically any topic related to the business world. You might argue over the best type of business… A traditional brick-and-mortar business… Or an online information publishing business… Or something in between. You could debate the most important skill set required to run a business. Many will declare it marketing expertise… Others will insist it’s the ability to create quality products… Still others will state it’s relationship-building prowess.

The Shocking Results – Don’t Be Next!

Even though it was two years ago, I can still remember the conversation like it was yesterday. My friend, Janet, called me in hysterics the night of her company holiday party. Earlier that evening she was mingling with many co-workers. As the night went on, she found herself deep in a conversation with one of her male co-workers. And before she knew it, she was being hit on harder than a hammer to a nail. And not only did this “prince charming” know she was married, he was married as well! Well, over the next year, the situation got so bad that she eventually left the company.

The New 3D Strategy: The Secret to Your Future Success

On any given day, most of us dedicate time to our children, spouses, careers, friends, charities, churches, parents, siblings, clients, household activities, and, oh yeah, if there is a little extra time left in the day, ourselves. So why is it that only a select few of us can make it look easy… while so many look like they have been run over by a tractor trailer? The answer is simple. Most working moms don’t evaluate the project or the task at hand before they begin. This holds true whether they are working on their business lives or on their personal/family lives.

Family, Baseball and Marketing: These Are a Few of my Favorite Things!

I have loved baseball since I was a little girl. My dad took me to my very first Yankee game when I was six years old and boy I was hooked! Over the years I have had my favorite Yankees. Currently, Jeter is the man. Yet, of all the years that I have been a fan and of all the line-ups I have witnessed, the mid 70’s still stands out as the classic line-up in Yankee history. It included greats like Graig Nettles, Lou Pinella, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson and of course my all-time favorite New York Yankee . . . Bucky Dent!

Ensuring That Your Business Passes the “Human Test”

Four years ago when my daughter, Mikaela, was just ten years old she was given an assignment for school. She was to write a story about what she would do if she was given a piece of land. When I came home from the office, she asked me if I would read her story to make sure it was okay. I said, “Of course… I’ll do it after dinner.” After dinner Mikaela asked again if I could read her story. Again, I said I would… But this time, after I put her little sister to bed.

The Art of Negotiation: Learn it and Make More Money!

"Mom, I think I want to be president," Connor said. "Is that so? I thought you wanted to be a professional baseball player," I replied. "No, not when I grow up..." he explained. "I want to be president NOW." That's right! Connor, my 10-year-old, was nominated for class president. He had 24 hours to think about the responsibility of this prestigious position and either accept or decline the nomination. After my husband and I spoke to him about what he thought his duties would entail and the commitment he would undertake, Connor decided to go for it.

Stop The Sabotage And Be Happy!

It was just about a year ago. I was sitting in my gorgeous newly built home in Austin, Texas, looking out at our resort- style pool set against the picturesque Texas Hill Country, and thinking – this house does not make a home. That was the exact moment I knew we needed to move back to Florida - back to our cozy cottage style house, back to the beach, back to our family and friends! That is exactly what we did. We moved back to our home in Florida. And in doing so and in conjunction with some serious research, I discovered ten severe habits that work against us – not for us.

Stop Networking and Start Making Money

It’s a self-marketing tactic I’ve really come to hate… I’m talking about “networking.” Sure, I’ve been hearing all about networking for years. I’ve even used the word myself! But when you get down to it, networking is cold, sterile… and it seems self-serving: one person trying to form a web of contacts whose sole purpose is to do something for him. That’s not how I want to do business. Lately, I’ve been rethinking what “networking” means. For instance, when I meet people at a so-called “networking” event, what is my end-game?

The 5 Essential Skills Every Mompreneur Must Master for Success

Determining what is essential and what’s not essential is key for a successful business. So here is a secret I have not told many. It wasn’t always this way for me.

The Art of Learning, Earning and Serving: The Magic “Three” of Successful CEO’s

Chasing the money will never make you rich. Working 60, 70 even 80 hours a week alone will never make you rich. Sitting around and manifesting success will never make you rich.

The Five Biggest Do's and Don'ts in Business: Apply Them and Prosper

It was just three years ago that I quit the security of having a wonderful corporate CEO job, working for one of the few thriving organizations in a dreadful economy. Many people told me I was nuts. They knew that jobs like mine were few and far between. They were right in saying that the unemployment rate was one of the highest our country had ever seen. They were right in saying that the housing market was in shambles. They were right in saying that the stock market was a mess. And, they were right when they said starting your own business was hard.

It’s Time to Parent Up

“Well, I don’t want Annie to be mad at me – we are so close, she really is my best friend,” I heard this woman at Whole Foods say. It seemed like a harmless enough comment when I heard it. Boy was I wrong. First, let me say I do not spend my days ease dropping on complete strangers conversations at the grocery market. However, this particular woman was on her cell phone in line right in front of me. It was kind of hard for me, and the other people in line, not to hear her.
