They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. If the most successful people really are risk-takers, then our mission is clear. Risky THINKING should become a habitual process for us as entrepreneurs and thought leaders. We all know the importance of creating a workable game plan that will bring you the greatest return of desirable results. -- This may MINIMIZE your risk in business-- but without a "no guts, no glory" outlook, you may never officially launch. The most dangerous risk of all... is NOT taking one. Complacency is not your friend … [Read more...]

Turn Adversity into an Advantage
Obstacles or... Opportunities? When faced with a set of unfortunate circumstances, we are presented with a choice to either ADAPT, or deteriorate. Either way, your journey will escalate into something new. Change is inevitable. If you want to know what I look for in a guest expert, it's how one meets adversity and turns it into an advantage... for career, family, personal fulfillment, financial abundance and quality of life. Linda and Brian Kaminski-- like so many other successful business leaders, birthed a successful global … [Read more...]
A Champion for Yourself AND Your Children
When in doubt, blame the kids... We thought that leaving our corporate jobs and building a new career at home would give us FREEDOM. Freedom from the time clock... freedom from a long commute...freedom from overbearing and inflexible employers...and freedom to travel way beyond that ceiling made of glass. The biggest freedom of all? To be a parent without apology. There is a new boss in town and she needs a diaper change. The FREEDOM that was promised by an at-home career now brings about a new set of circumstances that seems almost … [Read more...]
Before We Were Parents…
Ah, yes. Good times. When the kids are tucked in on a Saturday night, my husband and I like to have a "date night"-- which means something very different than it did ten years ago. Back then, we might have been burning the midnight oil at a concert, a party, or perhaps we'd be performing in a theatrical production in the city. Oh, yeah. We were crazy that way. CRAZY, I tell ya! We enjoy our date nights just as much now as we did then. Now that we are parents our typical Saturday night looks a bit different. We wait until the kiddos fall … [Read more...]
How to be a Profitable Stay-at-Home Parent
Tighten the belt? Ugh. A job is ONE WAY to create income...but it isn't the only way. On This Little Parent Stayed Home Radio, we teach you how to prioritize kids and home...without losing that second income. Investments? If you are over 30, time becomes an issue.

And more money means more options, more freedom, and more FUN! Case studies of other mom business leaders who … [Read more...]
Saner Spaces, Happy Places
Preserve Your Sanity. As parents, you don't get to have an OFF day. You don't get to be sick, or sad, or lazy or confused. You don't get to make mistakes. Or have blinding migraine headaches. You had plenty of time to have untimely medical conditions, fainting spells, or emotional freak outs BEFORE you CHOSE to bring a child into this world. You probably shouldn't have any mood altering medications, mid-day cocktails or "medicinal" escapes as you need to be 100% responsible for little people who are now depending on you FOR EVERYTHING. … [Read more...]
Soulful Sales
Do you CHOKE when it comes to SALES? Everybody obsesses to some extent or another about sales and having sales conversations, but I have seen far too many entrepreneurs with big visions BLOW IT with the wrong kind of selling tactic. Aggressiveness is NOT always ideal. However, apprehension can be the reason you are not seeing the cash-flow that you and your business are worth. "I FREEZE UP." "I HATE SALES." No matter what you do, or how good you are at it, asking for the sale is a challenge for most people. You are a passionate … [Read more...]
Winter is over… but our hearts remain Frozen.
The message behind this chillingly powerful Disney animated film is resonating with children of all ages (and their parents...) so WHY ALL THE HYPE? It seems like everyone has "Frozen Fever" these days and if your house is anything like mine, Idina Menzel's gorgeous trills have been replayed constantly to mollify the demands of our little ones. We may complain that we can't escape the over sung song from our every day lives...but the truth is... we can't seem to stop SINGING the darn thing ourselves. So... let's just admit it. WE … [Read more...]

See the Solutions in front of you
What are you willing to give up? If you are still daydreaming about leaving your corporate day job to: a) stay home with your kids b) be your own boss c) have more freedom or d) all of the above Why haven't you made that leap? Are you... ... scared that you will not find a comparable income to the one that you are currently making? ... scared of losing your current lifestyle? ... scared that you won't be able to pay the bills? ... scared that you are not capable of being your own boss? ... just plain … [Read more...]
