Oops! How Do You Effectively Reboot?
I dropped the ball… BIG TIME! Not on purpose, but nonetheless, I’ve totally neglected my blog. Why does it matter? Perhaps it doesn’t; but I’d like to think it does. Not only do I find that it has helped keep me on track, but a number of my very few readers have said that it has … Continue reading
They Say The Third Time’s The Charm
Pimpin’ ain’t the only thing that ain’t easy…. No, I’m not making light of, nor do I condone, pimpin’.

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. ~ ZIg ZIglar After being out of work for over a year, the last thing I wanted was to go back to a typical 9:00 to 5:00.

If At First You Don’t Succeed…
Guess who’s back?! I swear, I have to be the world’s worst blogger! In all good conscience, I can’t even insult true bloggers by considering myself one.

Setbacks Spur Imagination
I have a very good idea for a start-up business. I believe in it very much, and am convinced it could be hugely successful. There’s only one problem: it’s WAY to big for me. It requires more expertise and tons more money than I have readily available. I’ve flipped it upside down, backwards, sideways and … Continue reading
How In The World Can You Forget To Have Fun?
I’ve been grinding… HARD! I finished my latest round of classes last Monday (7 down, 3 to go), but had several meetings throughout the week, so I didn’t get a chance to rest until the weekend.
