Successful Life & Time Management for Work at Home Mompreneurs

By Golda Smith

Being a work at home mom is amazing. Let’s face it; you have the best of both worlds… a 30 second commute to your office and the pleasure of spending as much time with your children as you want. Sadly, the biggest mistake that many mompreneur’s make is that they try to take their life and fit it into someone else calendar.

We’ve read and even heard many successful business owners talk about the importance of having a calendar and making a list and while those things are important many are still struggling. What makes perfect sense and works effortlessly for me and my kids, would be a complete nightmare for another family. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Sports is Good Training for Entrepreneurs

By Cynthia Kocialski

I noticed that many successful entrepreneurs played sports. Does sports training matter to budding entrepreneurs? What skills do athletes learn that would benefit a new business owner and entrepreneur?

The Intent to Win

In sports, the link between progressing in a sport is directly related to your track record of winning. Athletes know that when they step on the playing field, they must have the intent to win and must live in the moment – for the next few minutes or hours their world is only the game and what must be done to win it.

Do You Have All the Money You Need?

By Tami Gomez

What does matter? The FEELINGS you bring up as you say the words.

Today I’d like to introduce you to a different kind of affirmation, and I dare say it is the THE most powerful type of affirmation you could ever do. It works well, and it works FAST.

I call it a “feeling affirmation,” and amazingly enough, you don’t even have to use words at all. It’s all about the feelings you communicate to the universe.

One important thing to remember: the Law of Attraction works according to your thoughts, beliefs and emotions. You can recite “I am wealthy” all day long for years – but if you don’t feel wealthy and you don’t really believe you are wealthy, guess what will happen? Nothing!

Eliminate This One Factor from Your Day and Watch Your Business and Family Time Grow

By Holly Reisem Hanna

I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter; I was at a Chinese restaurant waiting for my take-out, when I observed this woman furiously texting away while her young son tugged on her sleeve trying to get her attention. Over and over again he tugged and asked her to look at something, but all she said was “in a minute”. I remember thinking to myself, “I’m never going to be that mom who is totally consumed by her smart-phone that she’s too busy to pay attention to her child”.

Fast forward 6 years…

Just the other day I was taking a nature walk with my daughter and for safety purposes I always bring my cell phone with me. However, as we walked I keep checking my email, Twitter stream and Facebook profile to view the new messages that were coming in – when my daughter said, “Mom, no checking your phone”. Right then and there I realized I had become “that mom”. Read the rest of this entry »

Finding Passion for Your Work

By Barbara Seifert, Ph. D., CPC

To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart.   Thomas Watson

The New Year is a great time to reevaluate and reassess where you are in your professional life.  Whether you work for someone or you own your business, you may have found that you are not “feeling it” – you might have been overworked, felt underappreciated, or lost your passion for the work you do.  If this sounds like you, then a self-assessment sounds like the recipe you need to find your focus and reignite your passion.  When we doing the work we are meant to do, we have excitement – the passion – and are more motivated to produce results and to show up.  We work better as team members, work harder for our clients, and have more balance in our lives.
