I'm on a Mission to Help You Start an Internet Business

Grab your piece of the internet business pie...It's yummy!

This year I'm on a mission to help at least 100 people start their own internet business. I'm focused and committed to this goal because I'm tired of hearing people say that there are not any jobs or opportunities!

Granted, not everyone is fit to be an entrepreneur. It requires guts, dogged determination, focus, passion, and extreme belief in yourself and what you do.

So, do you have what it takes?

Fitness and Health Tips For 2012: Interview With Lyzz Stauffer

As a busy entrepreneur, one of my challenges is finding the time to work out. This is the time of year when many of us make resolutions to get fit and healthy, so I invited a friend and fitness specialist, Lyzz Stauffer, to share her fitness and health tips on the Studio 747 BlogTalk Radio Show.  Listen to the episode below...

I like Lyzz's tip about writing down exercise time into your daily schedule just like any task or "To Do" item. This is something I've never done - coming from someone who is all about "To Do" lists!

Do you have any fitness or health tips to share for busy entrepreneurs?

You Are Not Your Klout Number

As a blogger, internet marketer, and social media manager, I understand how people can get caught up in the "numbers". From an early age many of us have been taught that "the more the merrier", and although that may be nice when you're having a party or drinking shots of tequila, it's not necessarily the case with social media.

Creativity Tip: Bring Color and Design Into Your Environment

As a writer and artist who works from home, I thrive on color and having space to think and write. When I first moved back to San Diego from college, I lived in a small studio apartment in downtown, so making sure that my living environment was conducive to my creativity was a top priority. That meant having comfortable sofas and chairs, displaying my art everywhere to add color to the walls, and having a clean and well-organized work space. It’s hard for me to focus with a cluttered desk!

If you’re a visual artist such as a painter, designer, or photographer, you probably already have a very colorful living environment. I feel more alive and inspired when I’m surrounded by color. For those of you who want ideas on how to bring more color and design into your living environment, here’s some inspiration...

Getting Out of the Chicken Rut

As a follow up to my last post about food and art, I began thinking about creativity and how people, especially chefs, all over the world have come up with different ways to cook a particular type of meat. For instance, think about all the entrees that have been created from chicken. I, for one, only cook chicken a few ways. I usually bake it and serve it with rice and a side vegetable. This type of dinner gets old after awhile, and it made me think about the different areas in my life where I’ve gotten into a rut or haven’t been very creative.

To get out of this rut, I decided to visit my friend, Karyn, in Chicago this past week to re-energize and experience something new. That usually spurs my creative juices. Besides, a visit has been long overdue.
