For many women, getting back in shape is difficult after having a child; and with the kids out of school for the summer, it can seem even more challenging. Throw in owning a business, running carpool, juggling Summer Camps and what is a Mom to do?  Does that mean you’ll be unable to find that strong, “hot mama” body again? Heck no! It just means that you will have to use some creative strategies to rediscover your fitness levels. Learn how to exercise with your little ones and implement fitness into your daily lives, and you’ll quickly discover that you have more energy, not less. And the more energy you have, the quicker you can run after your kids when they are getting into your computer, opened your makeup drawer or are climbing on the counters. more

It is time to break out your colorful markers because today’s topic is “Block Scheduling.” Many of you have probably seen this before. Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendars does a fantastic job of managing your time for you in this manner. Block Scheduling is very much what it sounds like – blocking out chunks of time for each item in your schedule. If the computer thing works for you, wonderful! More power to you. But I find that because it is a calendar housed on a computer, it often falls under “Out of sight, out of mind.”

If you are a visual person, like I am, then you know that just because you put it in your calendar 3 months ago does not mean you will remember to do it. Or remember how much time the task/meeting/process will take. So what I like to do every Sunday is ‘block’ the coming week. more

Tell us about American Writers & Artists Inc. (AWAI) and your functions as a Co-Managing Partner.

AWAI is a publisher of homestudy programs that teach people how to make money writing, working for themselves.  The company has been around since 1997, and since then we’ve helped thousands of people develop skills that enable them to achieve financial freedom and take control of their lives.

Having worked as a marketer in the publishing industry my entire career, I started with the company as its Director of Marketing about 7 years ago, and quickly demonstrated my ability to impact the company’s bottom line.  A few years later I was named the VP of Marketing, and shortly thereafter offered the role of Co-Managing Partner.

Today my main function is running the business with my partner, Katie Yeakle, as well as overseeing much of the company’s marketing efforts and contributing to its numerous publications. more
