Without A Vision, The Cupcakes Rule!

It's five in the morning and my alarm clock breaks the peaceful sound of silence. I quickly roll over to stare at the intrusive noise, as if my glares will silence it. I wish I had tucked a hammer between my mattresses so I could pound the annoying sound into the next millennium. I hit the snooze button and smile as I think of nine more minutes of being tucked into my nicely heated electric blanket. Then it dawns on me. My first event! I have to get moving! I fly out of bed, suddenly having mo… Continue

Do You Have A Vision?

My husband, Wesley, and I are in the planning stages of a coffee house and ministry. I've planned many businesses before; but have always known in my heart it wasn't where I was supposed to be. In fact, the convenience of having an income stopped me from facing my fears of actually going forward with business plans. Some times punching the time card of an employer is easier than pursuing your own heart's desire. Many times I have designed an art studio, but I threw the plans away and pursued ot… Continue

When Does Preliminary Planning End?

Business planning is fun. I love visualizing how work flows, what the decor will be, what the Web site will look like and all the planning involved in starting up. What I haven't figured out yet is how you know when you've planned enough and it's time to move on to the next step. I've approached business planning and management using five key documents. They are: 1. Vision - this is a one page document that describes the "big picture." I like to have it as a separate document so it's quick to l… Continue

Can I Open The Coffee House Now?

"Not yet." That was the answer I received on November 16, 2009. I thought the answer was a "dream smasher." Little did I know that a few days later, I would overcome my disappointment in my business adviser's answer. I had been planning for a few months and last week I got an email from a coffee house owner who was closing their doors; and they offered me their entire business; for what I thought was an affordable solution. It would take twenty months to pay them back. The monthly payment plan… Continue

How to Transform Your Debt Into Wealth - Part One

Have you ever considered paying off your mortgage to be a legitimate way-perhaps even the perfect way-of transforming your debt into wealth? Most people live under the misconception that a low home mortgage interest rate is one of the best ways to pay off their debt and save money in the long run. They have no idea that certain people completely eliminate all of their debts, including their mortgages, in seven to eight years. Those same people are able to pay for everything in cash. They take t… Continue

Filled to the Brink…of Chaos

As an organizing consultant, I help my clients take control of their surroundings, their time and their information by designing custom organizing systems for them based on their habits and by teaching them the organizing principles that I have learned over the years. I believe that organizing is both an art (the design) and a science (the principles). One principle that has been on my mind lately is what I refer to as the Preventative Principle or the three-fourths capacity rule.… Continue

Say What

We have all heard things like this, from people like me. The problem with all of these is they are undeliverable expectations. I find a lot of these statements are made by salespeople trying to get a deal signed and not looking for a long term partnership with your business. Search Engine Marketing if done right can deliver more for your business than most other forms of mass media. With the wrong expectations up front you the advertiser are looking for results that can’t (won’t) happen. Let’s d… Continue

The definition of SEO

I have been hearing the term SEO being thrown around allot lately in the business community. Truth be told people have lost the terms true meaning. Now granted it does refer to the “organic” side of search. That’s the broadest and most general use of the term, and just a fraction of its true function. SEO - is an Internet marketing strategy (Or your internet marketing strategy). It’s a combination of Organic, Paid or SEM, viral, social, Behavioral Targeting, site design and site content.

Tricks for a Kid Healthy Halloween

A healthy Halloween, really, is that possible? I mean who wants to think about fruits and veggies on Halloween. It’s supposed to be the holiday filled with a bag of sugary treats and goodies. When I was a kid I loved Halloween. It is so much fun, but it can also be a nightmare for your child’s health and waistline. Sugary foods are a big contributor to childhood diabetes and obesity. With Halloween cookies, mini snickers bars, and jolly ranchers galore, kids load their trick or treat bags with s… Continue
