Many people now use social media sites to interact with others. How can you harness these traffic sources so you can attract more business?

Time after time it never fails, I visit a small business blog and its words and vibe echo the previous one. I don’t know why it is but it seems like some business bloggers are afraid to be themselves and put their own unique spin on things.

Professionalism is one thing, monotony is another.

In the (online) world we live in today, it seems like almost everyone is trying to be the next “so-and-so”. Where have all the “just do it”, fearless entrepreneurs gone?

How successful can you really become when you are not being authentic to yourself?

The All Mighty Teleseminar

You’ve just done another teleseminar! Awesome. You’ve got the audio recording and you’re sending it out to all the people who signed up to listen to it, whether they made it to the live call or not. That’s great. I don’t always get to listen live to calls I sign up for and really like getting the recordings so I can listen to them later.

If you start your entrepreneurial journey with the mindset that you may fail, you are doomed. Having the right mindset is the foremost attribute required for every entrepreneur.

Why do we often see so many women struggle with making their business successful? Why is it so difficult for some women to make money doing what they love?

It is a sad thing to see because a lot of women just don’t get it. It seems to me most of the women online today, have a particular way of thinking, I mindset that consists of them having to do it all and will only thrive in “hustle” mode.

I often spend time reflecting on my vision. The vision I have for my business. I guess you can consider me a dreamer because I tend to visualize a lot about what my business will be and how I picture it evolving into something amazing….even unbelievable.

I remember being as young as 9 and 10 years old thinking about having my own business because even at that age, I knew I wanted to be a mom who worked from home. Fast forward 20 something years and I am living my childhood dream!
