This has been my month for conferences. 3 in the last 2 weeks. Wow! They can be great for connecting and learning, but also a little over whelming. I decided to do things differently this year and enjoyed the whole experience a lot more. Watch today’s video to find out what I did and how…
Yesterday, I arrived in Dallas for the eWomen Network conference. I’m really looking forward to the great speakers, seeing girlfriends from all over the country, and meeting new people. Conferences are a chance to break out of the every day routine and learn tools that can really make a difference in your business. They also…
As I head out to Chicago today for leadership training with the Women’s Council of Realtors I’m reminded of how important it is to build your network and the part we often miss. Networking is doing things to bring you clients. People who will buy and sell with you. Your network is building relationships with vendors and others…
When sales are rocking, business feels great. You are having fun with your clients, your making money, and life is good.

I’ve been going through this with writing blog posts lately. Sometimes I’m inspired and the words flow beautifully. Other times my mind goes blank…

Excitement that the sun is out and it’s time to play, denial that our perfectly crafted school schedules are getting thrown out the window (bedtime? what bedtime?)…
Balance is over rated. It really means that you half ass everything and don’t get anything worth-while done.Life works in cycles and it goes much better when you embrace the cycle rather than fight it. Case in point. I love the sun and summer. Quite honestly, my goal is to work as little as possible during the summer…
Helping others succeed by taking strategic action is my mission. What I know is that when you take action, you get results and when you get results, life gets fun. Nothing makes me happier than when someone gets that light back in their eyes and realizes that they can do this! It’s all about dissecting…
