I've been a fan of Heather Habelka, the owner of Red Poppy Marketing, for many years. I remember being impressed with her at the very first networking event where we met. There was a level of professionalism and enthusiasm that was inspiring. Our paths continued to...

Two women drive 30 minutes to visit a store that had recently been recommended. It's a gorgeous, sunny New England Tuesday afternoon. It's almost noon, they park, walk to the shop and see this sign on the door. For those of you who may not have the opportunity to...
It didn't take Lisa Corrado long to decide that being in business for 10 years was worthy of celebration. Her Mastermind Group urged her to nail down a date and get the invitation out to her happy clients and supporters. Selfishly, we all wanted to party with Lisa....
I received a package in the mail on October 15. I didn't recall having ordered anything from amazon.com, but there was this heavy carton waiting for me. Inside the box was a book called Humans of New York. I was still confused. I'd come across a marvelous website...
Since attending a lunchtime networking meeting a couple of weeks ago, I've had three coffee dates with three remarkable women. This morning Shahrina Ankhi-Krol and I met at Dean & Deluca's midtown to find common ground. For this archaeologist turned lawyer, it...

I couldn't have chosen a better book to read this week before my Soul Proprietor Community topic call: Allow the Universe to Manifest than Lisa Jones' Art of Living Happy - After the Loss of a Loved One: A Real-Life Awakening. Once I opened the volume, I couldn't...

Went to two good networking meetings this week and met several terrific entrepreneurial women in the city. One shared a business name that made everyone in the room laugh out loud, sit up and take notice. She told us about an architecture firm where she knew the...
