America’s Happiest Woman

4. January 2012

OMG I can’t handle another goal-setting exercise this time of year! I prefer to believe that I am perfect just the way I am (And I believe that you are, too!) Instead of New Year’s resolutions or making plans to get what you want, why not just decide today to be happy now? On [...]

Why I Work With Michael Jordan

23. November 2011

7 Comments

If you had a choice, would you prefer to learn how to play basketball from Michael Jordan or from a benchwarmer on your local high school junior varsity team? The answer is obvious: Michael Jordan would offer much more ability, knowledge, and experience as a coach than a teenage amateur. The same goes for your [...]

Andy Rooney Drops Dead

Okay so Andy Rooney didn’t drop dead… But the grumpy nonagenarian, made famous by his “60 Minutes” laments, did say that the only way he’d leave the show would be if he “dropped dead”. Well, he’s gone from the show… but he’s still here amongst the living! And I was one of the 16 million viewers who [...]

Christina Aguilera Wants To Mentor You

After record ratings for NBC last night, I know I wasn’t the only one curious enough to check out “The Voice”. Did you watch the new vocal talent reality TV show, too? Or were you able to resist the mass marketing that hooked me like a little fish! In my defense, I watched partly because [...]

Are You Working Your Business In 1945?

16. March 2011

Entirely as a joke, my 92-year-old grandmother gave me “The Pocket Book of Baby and Child Care” for a good laugh as I prepare for the arrival of my first child this spring. The book is a wonderful guide for expectant mothers… assuming, of course, that you live in the 1940′s and wear aprons daily. [...]

I Met A Famous Person!

Have you ditched your affirmations after just a couple of days because you thought, “Nothing’s happening… what’s the point?” I’ve been there too! But I revisited the simple network marketing fundamental of stating affirmations after I adopted one from my friend and colleague Tricia on Saturday that worked IMMEDIATELY. (It was so fast… I’m still [...]

Amy Chua, self-proclaimed “Tiger Mom”, horrified Western parents this week with her memoir on raising two daughters in the strict “Chinese way.” My husband was so intrigued with this news story that he urged me to read up on it for research. See, we are anticipating our first baby, so “Tiger Mom” led us to [...]

The Man-Child You Love To Hate

Admit it: part of you just can’t stand that smug Mark Zuckerberg. He violated your security and can buy and sell you ten times over. And he’s a child! Doesn’t it just irk you… just a little? Well it’s time to get over it and salvage what we can learn from this infant who was [...]

The Most Important 2 Hours

6. October 2010

29 Comments

The two most important hours in my workweek have nothing to do with my business. They have nothing to do with my family, either! And they have nothing to do with my personal development study… But these two hours contribute significantly to my self-esteem, peace of mind, my overall sense of well-being, and my incredible [...]

Wear Meat On Your Head

Last week Lady Gaga won a record 8 MTV video music awards… and accepted her award for “Best Video of the Year” donning an ensemble made of cured meat. Seriously. But if you know anything about the unconventional behavior of the current reigning queen of pop and pop culture, then you know this is just [...]
