If you are in business, self-employed or the corporate world, you know all too well how much of a challenge it is to balance both work and home life. Something always goes wrong or gives in.

When you’re a busy professional, you have very little time for non-essential things like funny emails, water cooler chit chat and the most annoying of all - trivial phone calls!

In college, I was more interested in boys and partying than in preparing myself for a career, so it should have been no surprise when, on graduation day, I hadn’t a clue what to do next. I floundered for a couple of months (and yes, I moved back home with my parents) and then […]

My twin two-year old daughters reminded me, without words, about business and success. When you are starting a business, you need to think of it as raising a child. You start by crawling, then walking, then running.

Committed to achieving your professional goals in the new year? Follow these tips to get to the finish line:
Set specific goals. “Improve my business” is extremely vague when you consider all of the possible factors that could go into “improvement.” Try something like, “Increase client base by 20%” or “Earn a raise within 6 months.”

The lively discussion sparked by Kelly’s post about God and taxes at Taxgirl got me thinking more about a topic that’s been on my mind lately:
