How to Hire Some Help (a Virtual Assistant) and Give Yourself a Raise

Note: Since we're headed for a new year (and I'm headed out on vacation), many of my clients are making their 2008 plans for their businesses. One of the most

important strategies is realizing that you can't do it all yourself, but you

can't quite convince yourself that getting some help would increase your bottom

line. I'm running this very popular article again to help you make that

decision..:)…

Do You Ask Too Much of Yourself?

I was speaking with my fiancé, Eric, on the phone yesterday and telling him about the progress I was making toward creating our

holiday so I don't kill myself cooking the day or two before our celebration. I

Top 10 Steps to Creating a Successful Business Retreat for Self-Employed Entrepreneurs

The notion of

doing a business retreat for myself is very new, although not novel, as we used

to conduct a retreat each year as a part of both the Student Affairs staff and

the Residence Life staff at the college where I once worked. When I heard about

this same concept for self-employed business owners from Chris Barrow of

The Business Coaching…

How Much Money Are You Losing During the Holiday Season?

Earlier this week I went online to buy a gift certificate to a well-known local restaurant in a nearby city (I'll keep both

the name of the business and the city name anonymous to protect the guilty

<g>.). I found the restaurant's website easily enough, but there was absolutely

no way to purchase anything online from them. I was dumbfounded. This is a

restaurant that does VERY well, makes…

How to Sell and Market Your Ebook in 10 Easy Steps

Electronic books, or ebooks, are one of the quickest ways to make yourself an infopreneur, or someone who makes money by selling information. As a service business owner, it's also a simple way to sell the information that you have spent countless hours amassing to all of those who want to buy what you know but who cannot afford to hire you as a service provider.

Working When You're Not Feeling Well

This past Saturday I strained an abdominal muscle, and have been in some serious pain in the days following. It wasn't until I figured out how to immobilize myself in Eric's recliner on Sunday that I began to feel some relief. By Monday, I still wasn't feeling anywhere near normal, but had some tasks that HAD to be completed, so I set out to do those first thing, and then back to the recliner for more… Continue
