The Blog That Is Changing My Life…hopefully!
September 11, 2007 – 10:03 pm
I have recently been a little StumbleUpon-obsessed (feel free to ad me as a friend!). I have found some really great stuff. But without question, one of my most valuable finds was the Positivity Blog written by Henrik Edberg.
His stated purpose for blogging is helping you:
Creating new and […]
How Many Words Is A Picture Really Worth?
September 10, 2007 – 10:14 pm
I’ve been asked quite a few times over the last few months by clients and fellow entrepreneurs whether or not I think they should have their picture displayed on their websites.
This is something I’ve gone back and forth on for my own websites. I think I am definitely leaning toward getting a professional shot […]
The Most Powerful Phrase in Business
September 5, 2007 – 10:10 pm
As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I have literally 100’s of conversations with clients and potential clients a week. So many in fact, that I’ve found I can typically anticipate almost every question or inquiry that is coming next. However, there are those times when a prospect or a customer throws something […]
Are Work At Home Moms (and Dads) Human?
September 2, 2007 – 11:56 pm
Being in a home based industry, I run into quite a few WAHMs and WAHDs in my everyday blogging and networking. And I’ve been thinking about them a lot lately. I’m serious are these people human? I think not.
Running my businesses, marketing those businesses through blogging and other means and actually doing the work that […]
Working at multi-tasking my own life…
August 15, 2007 – 12:34 am
I think it’s funny that my entire work-life is spent helping other business people add more hours to their days and outsource all the minutia that keeps them from focusing on the goal at hand…yet, I’m pretty bad at it with my own business. Granted, being too busy in a small business owner’s life […]
One more reason I love being my own boss!
August 12, 2007 – 6:59 pm
I just found a favorite new place to waste my time online, Tales of Corporate Oppression.
I think my favorite so far has to be #38:
At one call centre I worked at it was policy to use the customer’s name five times, no matter how brief the call.
A friend of mine had a lot of trouble […]
Can you NOT click?
August 10, 2007 – 11:50 pm
Again, stumbling is dangerously addictive for me. I just came across www.don’tclick.it. This is very strange. I know that our GUI filled lives are not an ancient way of life, but this site sure makes you feel like it!
It’s got me thinking, what else has become a 21st (well maybe 20th into 21st) century instinct? […]
The Road Less Traveled
February 3, 2007 – 2:37 pm
As a virtual assistant and website designer, I’ve been working on a what I’ve found to be a highly underused marketing tactic. I live in Lawrence, KS. We’re a college town which means there are tons of freelance designers in and just out of school. We’re also a stone’s throw from Kansas […]
New Look for DW Office Solutions
February 3, 2007 – 1:11 pm
With all the time I’ve been spending designing websites for other people with the recent success of DW Web Solutions, I finally decided to give DW Office Solutions website a bit of a makeover.
I added a bit of my newly acquired Photoshop obsession and am planning on throwing in some new tools for a “Tips […]
