A Must Read!

Today, while riding the metro home from work I took advantage of the time by reading an e-book that was sent to me for review from Stacey McSwine, President of The Mommy Resource Network (http://www.mommyresourcenetwork.com/).  The e-book is titled "Single Mommy Resources - 6 Steps to Living Your Best Life NOW."  As I read the first few pages of the book I immediately knew it was a phenomenal source of information simplified as a quick-read for busy moms.  The book focuses its attention primarily on single moms but is a MUST READ for all women and moms who want to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives by discovering the life they were born to live.  The book touches on topics of completion, friendships, and giving back to name a few.  There were several quotes in the book I associated with on a personal level and really took to heart:

QUOTE 1:  Eliminate the word mistake from your vocabulary; instead, view everything in your life as learning experiences instead of mistakes;
QUOTE 2:  Setting goals and writing them down is a great start, but... taking the crucial steps that will propel you towards the targets you want to achieve is a critical component. You have to finish what you start;
QUOTE 3:  When you truly love yourself, you will exude and spread a magnetic energy to those around you. Before you know it, you will be surrounded by those attracted to you for who you reall are.I recommend this e-book to all moms and women who want to grow to the next level in their life.  This MUST READ can be purchased online at http://www.mommyresourcenetwork.com/EBooks.html

Online Brand Visibility

Nowadays, in order to become successful you must brand yourself.  I am no expert at branding, but I do know in the past month alone I have received several inquiries about my online brand visibility.  One company sent me the link to a questionnaire through Online Identity Calculator (http://www.onlineidcalculator.com/index.php) so that I could see the calculations for myself.  After taking the questionnaire the light bulb went off.  Online brand visibility is imperative for any small business.  Be sure to click the button below to determine your online brand visibility.

Keeping Up With the Social Media Joneses

Although I must admit that social media networking has been extremely beneficial for my business -- allowing me to connect with like-minded individuals, establish strong business relationships with people around the world who I would have otherwise never met, and give my support to other entrepreneurs -- there are so many networking sites, ning sites, Wall posts, and status updates to keep up with that I wonder how one finds time to stay devoted to them all?  Not to mention the daily tweets and blog posts that successful entrepreneurs are expected to tack onto their already hectic social media lives.  My personal blog is the perfect example of my inability to "keep up."  I sometimes look at other blogger sites and see everything perfectly managed, in tack, and delivering purposeful blog messages on a daily basis.  I often find myself feeling guilty of neglecting my blog page and struggling to keep up with the many Social Media Joneses out there.  How do they do it?  Do they hire someone to post to their blog everyday?  Am I spending too much time on one social media site and simply neglecting the others?  Will I regret not giving more attention to each of the sites?  And don't even get me started on keeping up with social media on my Blackberry. These are the things business owners who are aiming to become successful have to juggle and prioritize in an advanced age of technology.  I mean, we each only get 24 hours in any given day.

Well, I guess I can only do my best in sharing my time with each of these important social media sites.  I certainly cannot keep up with the fabulous Social Media Joneses.  So, if you are one of my faithful followers of my blog, please continue to follow me as I aim to post more frequently and please follow me around the social media scene:

The Networking Continues

As a new business owner, who just celebrated my 1 Year Anniversary of being an entrepreneur, I am always thrilled to make positive business connections and network with like-minded individuals.  I recently had the privilege of connecting with a phenomenal woman entrepreneur named Odessa Hopkins, President & CEO of Another Approach Enterprises (http://anotherapproachenterprises.com/home.html).  Previous to our introduction, I had followed Ms. Hopkins' work and success all around the social media scene and was well aware that she was doing great things within the community.  So when I finally met her in-person it was quite an honor.  And to see her professional yet personable demeanor was quite refreshing.  As a result of this connection, Ms. Hopkins invited me to attend the Prince George's Chamber of Commerce (http://www.pgcoc.org/) Inaugural Reception and Networking Event on June 30, 2010 at the historic and beautiful Newton White Mansion (http://www.pgparks.com/places/eleganthistoric/newton_intro.html).  Ms. Hopkins currently serves on the Board of the Prince George's Chamber of Commerce so, again, it was an honor to attend as her guest.  I have become a firm believer that networking can change your life.  Being able to make connections with individuals the likes of Ms. Hopkins comes from having a positive attitude, being true to your spirit and allowing it to shine through, not allowing your fears to prevent you from pursuing your dreams, and having the courage to promote yourself and your business.

I anxiously anticipate making continued connections such as this one in my effort to grow my business and empower other women and moms to fulfill their dreams and pursue their passion.  You will never know what could be if you never try.
