Freelancing Moms Have To Decide…

what to do with the kids once school is out! It’s almost that time for my kids here in Alabama, and with three of them, I know it’s going to an interesting (and tiresome) next couple of months around my household.

Finding YOUR Place in the Workplace: When Are We Really Grownups?

I think I’m having an identity crisis. Here I am, 26 years old and running my own business, and some days I feel like I don’t know if I’m coming or going. Am I an entrepreneur, or just a wannabe working in my PJs? Or maybe a little of both?

Transition Tuesday: Employee Escape Plan

A brief departure from our regular Transition Tuesday programming…

It’s kind of a downer in the beginning, while the speaker discusses the downside of working for someone else, but starting around 3:00 it gets into exactly what the employee escape plan is. Definitely work a look. But note that this is a promotional message, and I’m […]

Guest Post: Short Attention Spans & Working From Home

by Marijke Vroomen-Durning, RN
I love working from home. Oddly, unlike many others who dream of working from home, it was never a dream of mine; I’m a nurse – how the heck can a nurse work from home? But – life has a way of changing directions and this nurse became a telecommuting medical editor […]

Moms can be millionaires just as easily as the next person. So why is it so hard to grasp that concept?
I read this article about Millionaire Moms and just got motivated all over again. I don’t know about you, but most days I’m just thinking about doing everything on […]

When Are You Going To Get A Real Job?

Shannon over at startupspark wrote this great post about other people essentially always wondering when we’re going to get a real job. Shannon’s article really **sparked** something in me that I wanted to touch on today.

Melinda Gates: A Woman With A Vision

Bill Gates didn’t know what hit him when Melinda French came into his life. She has gotten him to exercise, turned him on to the gift of philanthropy and caused him to develop charitable foundations that benefit the sick and the needy.
Way to go Melinda.
