Yesterday, I stumbled upon a website that blasted pretty much EVERY well-known business guru out there… This site basically tears apart the most well-respected marketers of our time. Almost ALL of their products – he claims – are over priced and under-effective (compared to his own “business opportunity”, of course.) He even had the audacity

The WRONG way to Market
Recently, I have had a few dealings with a business owner in our area. In our first “business deal”, we began talking about her business. I learned quickly that she knows all she needs to know about growing her business. For instance, her marketing plan that particular weekend was to “ENCROACH upon all parents at

My First Time
I remember a cross-stitch picture that used to hang in my brother’s room. It was of a deer and underneath it were the words, “My First Deer”, commemorating his first “hunting trophy”. As children, our world is defined by our firsts…. which kept life a constant adventure… there was NO comfort zone that stood a

How To Become An Inspiring Business Hero
One of my favorite movies is BraveHeart, starring Mel Gibson as William Wallace. If you are even remotely familiar with the movie, you remember the scene in which he challenges his people to fight. Clearly, the Scottish are outnumbered and under-equipped for battle. Many are getting ready to leave, when someone says, “If only William

Yesterday, I was reading a magazine in which Bill Gross, an American business manager and investment expert, was advising us on how to invest in the current economy. His “major”

Taking on Russian's nay-saying leaders…
This morning, I had the displeasure of watching the national news… an activity I have long boycotted as they continue to sell fear, pessimism and doom! Today was no different as I watched Russian leaders compare the US to the Titanic – after it hit an iceberg. However, I think they are dead wrong. In

Thomas Jefferson responds to Current Economic "Bail Outs"
Oh no! I woke up this morning and again, realized that I had NOT been “bailed out” yet. What on earth am I to do? Perhaps the message is that I am, in fact, actually responsible for my own “bail out”…. Hmmmm….. On a more serious note, I came across a quote from Thomas Jefferson

NINE Ways to Guarantee FAILURE
I am still basking in the “high” of my second “WOW! Factor Prosperity Retreat for FEARLESS Entrepreneurs”…. Look at this quote, which seemed to speak to each of us in the group: “The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act [of commitment] frees you from the
