A Good WordPress Theme Can Save You Time and Heartache
One of my favorite free wordpress themes out in the Internetverse right now is the Arthemia theme. It’s currently on version 2.0 and really, it’s this beautiful mix between a magazine theme and a regular blog theme and the typesetting is fabulous and there’s even an Arthemia premium version – it has more colors thant [...]
Not Every Business Needs Social Media and Online Social Networking Exposure
In fact, in some industries, it can hurt your business.
Blogging
Blogging is great. I love it. But if you’re selling services that are knowledge based and you blog, you’re telling people how to do your job. You’re also telling people that you spend a lot of time blogging and that could make a potential client wonder [...]
What Do Work From Home Moms Do When They Are Sick?
This is one of the top three questions I am asked when someone finds out I work from home.
“Do you have to call someone?”
“Do you pretend you’re working?”
“Do you get in trouble?”
“Do you get mental health days?”
I usually laugh because the problem isn’t about sick days, it’s about how I work vs. how most people [...]
Make More Money in Your Small Business by Shaking It Up
Sometimes doing the same thing starts to get you less results and, as a result, less money.
When that happens, it’s time to take a look at what you’ve been doing and see if there are ways to shake it up and either get more cients, add more services, or do something else entirely.
I was looking [...]
When You Don’t Belong Anymore
UPDATE: This whole post was based on a complete and total misunderstanding. As embarrassing as that is, it’s important to be able to stand up and say, “Hey, I was wrong!” It seems that it was not just me that this happened to and it was a natural renewal period that was sent out to [...]
The Expectation of Continued Employment (you wrote this?)
While I haven’t had anyone up and leave me for a long period of time leaving me to wonder if my contractor was dead or in the Witness Protection Program, I have had similar things happen.
Someone was a day late on a deadline. Didn’t let me know they were going to be late, they just [...]
The Expectation of Continued Employment (when a contractor disappears)
So you had an assignment, an emergency came up, and you didn’t think to contact the person you were contracting with.
This hasn’t happened to me directly, but has happened to someone I know personally.
They hired someone for a project and the person just…disappeared….for three days!
I’ve had people late on assignments before, but never [...]
They Can’t All Be Freebie Seekers
When people unsubscribe from your list or mark your e-newsletter as spam or get your free report and unsubscribe ten minutes later…they may not just be freebie seekers.
I think that people assuming unsubscribes are freebie seekers is a way to try and bring a little comfort to a situation that might hurt personally. I mean, [...]
Budgeting Plus Extras
For many people, budgeting isn’t enough to get you on the track to freedom. I’m not recommending debt consolidation, but for some people it’s the only way to get all the different accounts under control.
Budgeting for your business can be tough too, especially if all your money is going in and out through your [...]
On The Lookout For Deals
My girls are getting to the age where I’m looking to get them out of the house. When we were younger my grams always liked to take us on these awesome weekend getaways to hotels. Many hotels have pools and arcades and other stuff that makes them really kid-friendly and I’d like to give my [...]
