Business Blogs: Trends, tips, and real-life anecdotes from industry experts.

A few months ago, I wrote a post here at StartUpNation on what every mom/entrepreneur should have in her bag of tricks.  This was a fun post for me to write because I carry a large (really large) tote everywhere I go.  Please do not ever look inside that tote because it is the most [...]

Recently someone asked me about the transition from every day mom to mompreneur.  Did I like my “new life?”  Was it different than before? Better? Or worse?  Was I pleased with my decision?
Do I like my new life? Heck ya!
The real question is: When is it right to make big changes to your life? To [...]

I was a little stumped about what to write about this week.  A lot has been going on in my world, but for some reason, I could not pinpoint the one little thing that I wanted to share.  My new website for moms in transition is SLOWLY coming together (not as fast as I would [...]

The theme of last week for me was waiting (and I really have no patience).  I waited for two days after our vacation for my boys to go back to school, so I could really tackle my to-do list.  I waited to hear back from an important business contact on a pressing matter.  AND, then [...]

Guy Kawasaki, former chief evangelist of Apple, gives his view on business, marketing and getting people to fall in love with you.

When I first started on my entrepreneurial jag, an acquaintance called me dogged.  If you do not know me personally - there you have it, I am stubborn in my determination, obstinate, tenacious — just plain dogged.  So, when I decided  to be a mompreneur there was no turning back.  I was going to chase [...]

I started my Saturday this past weekend with a midwest to westcoast flight. By the time I was over the Rockies, I was so excited to get to work on the new ideas filling my head that I couldn’t WAIT to get off that plane!
I had just finished reading through Josh Linkner’s brand new book, Disciplined [...]

I recently spoke to Kimberly Palmer. She’s the senior editor and personal finance columnist for US News & World Report. And in addition to appearing on NBC’s Today show, CNBC, CNN, and local television and radio shows nationwide, she has also written for the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and the Asahi Shimbun/International Herald [...]
