This is an amazing time to be in business for oneself!

May 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment
When social media came around, did you get excited thinking “Yeah, finally, an easier, free way to market”?

I ask because most small business owners I know are NOT getting clients and prospects from their online social media marketing efforts. If they are getting them, it’s very few and far between.
5 Ways to Create Content to Feed Your Social Media Efforts
May 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Social Media by itself does not build relationships with your target market. Social media is merely a calling card that invites people to your “home” where you share “content” (valuable information) with your clients.
While social media is a great way of reaching out to clients – it is also a demanding mistress – constantly needing to be fed with new content. This is where people often get discouraged because they quickly run out of things to say.

May 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Is there anyone on the planet who hasn’t heard that public speaking is the number one fear in America? Many business people are so genuinely freaked out by what they are going to say that they give too little thought to HOW they will say it. Not to make a challenging situation worse, but today I want to point out that how you speak can be even more important than the content you’re sharing, and certain vocal patterns can rob you of authority before you’re even out of the gate.

What’s YOUR Color?
May 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Today as I walked through the backyard I couldn’t’ help but notice all the brilliant colors and beauty there was to observe and appreciate. Natural vibrant magentas, soft pinks, warm yellows and lush greens… flowers and plants of all sizes and shapes completely carpeting the entire area and the constant aroma of lilacs lying atop of every breeze.

The one thing working moms have in common is that they’re busy ladies with a lot on their plate. The second thing they have in common is that they feel guilty a lot of the time. One of the main sources of that guilt comes from the feeling that they don’t have time to spend quality moments with their children; “life is just a race” moms tell me.
A very important thing for working mothers to understand is that it doesn’t take much to satisfy their child’s need for attention, and if just a few things are put into place, they can be guaranteed they are giving their child all they need to.

When she promises to meet me for coffee, I enter the time in my iPhone and then before I leave my house, I send her a text to confirm. Sometimes she remembers and sometimes she doesn’t.
While those broken promises aren’t earth-shattering and haven’t affected our friendship, if she did the same thing to her clients, her client list were dry up. To a client, any broken promise is important, so you need to do what you can to keep every promise you make.
