Thanksgiving is upon us and it’s one of the great times of the year to look back and take a real hard look at what I’m grateful for.
This year my business has taken a different turn with me adding more group work through my Mastermind program and I’ve created more One Page Business Plans using Skype then I’ve ever done before.
Additionally I have some great folks working for me, like Christine Mifsud of Right Hand MarCom who is updating the verbiage for my website ... Read Full Story
Your Pricing Your Services Just Right program helped me develop a pricing strategy (I was under-pricing) and give proper credence to my certification, experience and value of my services.
To be honest, testing this new pricing strategy was very risky for me. But I used my new rate with a lead and the reaction was you’re charging “too much”. Two choices: I could drop my price and deplete my value to what the prospective client felt was appropriate or fight for my price by explaining ... Read Full Story

Ya, the library. You know, the poster-festooned encyclopedia vault from school days past? You probably spent a lot of time there, researching for science projects and book reports. Remember reaching up on tiptoes to hand your library card to the librarian at the check-out desk?
This should bring you back – Encyclopedia Britannica! It’s never too late to join the "look it up club" whose motto was "we never guess, we look it up."... Read Full Story

of 365 chosen to appear in the 2010 Woman’s Advantage Calendar. It
will appear on May 24, 2010. In fact, because of that submission, I

If your ideal clients are on LinkedIn, then you want to be there, too. So create a keyword driven profile on LinkedIn for yourself. Complete every area possible, take a look at the apps (applications/programs) you might want to add, and you’re done… right?
Wrong.
One of the best ways to dip your feet into a community of new business owners and executives, like LinkedIn, is to ask or answer questions. ANSWERS is a community where other members ask or answer questions to learn and c... Read Full Story
Two weeks ago I was attracted to listen to an audio called Bye-Bye Boring Bios. When I got to the website, I realized that the person giving the talk was a local PR person, Nancy Juetten. Even if she wasn’t from the Seattle area, this is a not-to miss audio.
