Take several similar businesses who are all trying to reach and serve the same group of people… why will some businesses thrive and others fail?
Truthfully there are lot of potential reasons, far too numerous to list, but let’s imagine that these business owners are [...]

I hate admitting failures (especially right after a post about goals) but I have to.
I did not get 30 articles produced in 30 days.
*sigh*
I will not make excuses and only take responsibility.
I just didn’t get it done.
In the end I wrote three articles for distribution and outsourced two articles beyond that.  Nine more stand ready [...]

I committed to Carrie’s 30 Articles in 30 Days challenge and I’ve really dropped the ball on it to tell you the absolute truth.
But, I’m not giving up.  I will have to revisit my plan for 30 articles though.
I’m going to cross off a dozen or so of the topics I had planned to write [...]

I’ve shared before that I love being an Affiliate Marketing Mom.  Affiliate payment alerts from PayPal along with several sweet paper checks in the mail make the first ten days of my month especially enjoyable. (This is usually when affiliate programs payout for the previous month.)

Never has it been more important to be a creative communicator on the web today. You have to grab attention and convey the key components of your subject - sometimes in as few words as possible.
There are two groups of internet communicators who struggle in their efforts [...]

I just started a diet three weeks ago.  I’ve lost 13 pounds so far.  Not bad at all, right?  I’m pretty happy with how its going so far.  I have to admit though that I can lose 20 or 30 pounds pretty easily.  I’ve done it dozens of times.  It’s keeping it off and going [...]

I realized this morning that I had made a mistake.  I had started following people on Twitter just because they were ‘BIG’ on Twitter.
I guess I thought any mom with thousands of followers had to be really interesting and worth a follow - but I was wrong.
It’s not that they weren’t interesting - they are.  [...]

We held our very first learning session for SparkplugU on Monday night and I’m proud that it was for my Podcasting Bootcamp.
I welcomed our first attendees into the web based conference room where they were able to interact with me by text and voice.
My students are amazing.  They were full of energy and enthusiasm for [...]
