Since my 2011 business year ended nicely in the black, I worked hard in December to invest some of my earnings back into my company by enrolling in courses for the upcoming year. One of my business gurus, Brian Tracy, uses the figure 5% of income as the target...
Last Friday night I went to Debra Somerville's photography Studio Opening event in Westport where lots of chic patrons, friends and family helped Debra 'break in' her new space. One of the very cool things about the opening, in addition to Debra's brilliant...
I know that Mercury is in retrograde, so I understand that my technology dependency is being tampered with. But today I received an error message when I tried to access an email in my inbox. I wasn't even allowed to open it because my C:\Documents and...
My walk at the beach this morning yielded not only a great workout with a friend, but also a topic for today's post. My co-walker talked about forking over $50+ a month to keep her website alive hoping for a few eyeballs to visit it every month. "Have there been...
My son got mad at me a few years ago when my newsletter column listed 100 things I was grateful for, and the UPS guy was ranked above my kids. Let me say at the outset of this post that I am grateful, first and foremost, for my family members. (Happy, Rob?)...
On my drive from Tucson, where the retreat was held en route to the airport in Phoenix, I saw a spectacular rainbow--in Arizona! Over the desert. Not what you'd expect. That pretty much sums up my fabulous experience at Miraval with 100+ MORE readers plus the...
When I signed up for the Meet the Editors event at Miraval Spa in Tucson last June, I had no idea how well-timed this getaway retreat would be. These last few weeks have been intensely full and productive with my recent free webinar and subsequent sell-out of the...
Yesterday was a glorious day in CT, especially compared to last Sunday when we were all cleaning up from that freaky fall blizzard and subsequent power outages. This day was sunny, blue skies and the perfect temperature for taking in a multitude of offerings. I...
When I spoke for the Women's Council of Realtors in September, I gave out three copies of my CD How I Got on the Today Show to winners of the Networking Bingo game we played. One of the recipients, Birgit Anich, took the time to send me not only a beautifully...
There were 500 attendees to hear David Gergen speak yesterday morning at the WBDC's Business Breakfast entitled: Power, Politics & Purse Strings (giving it the female slant). Besides great networking, the spirit of the room and the opportunity to re-connect...
I've been a fan of Susan Keane Baker since we first met at an NSA-NY Chapter meeting in NYC at least 15 years ago. Class acts have a way of being class acts from the get-go. Susan's brand experience is excellence, depth and connection and she's delivered that...
He said so, as quoted in the New York Times, when recently interviewed by Oprah at a benefit event held at Lincoln Center last week. Why do I love reading those words? It makes me feel connected to greatness. It makes me feel normal for having the same feelings. It...
I'm thrilled to report that my first free webinar last week attracted over 50 participants and that every space available for my upcoming program sold. In my own business and the businesses of my colleagues, and what I see in the world at large, we must keep trying...
I'm beyond excited about presenting my free webinar tonight. Those of you who've been following this journey--I started taking classes on how to do this whole thing back in July--have heard me whining, listened to my starts and stops and are now witnessing my...
