PCS Move Tips - A hilarious look at my PCS drama

Making a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move over the weekend presents some challenges. For those that don’t know what a PCS move is, it is when a military family has to move to its new location.

How To Sell Using Success Stories

Success stories are a great way to sell your services, without really selling. This is actually the second part to a post I wrote previously. Your success stories, no matter how small are a selling tool. If nobody ever hears about your success stories, did they really happen? Sure, you know you achieved success with a client, but you aren’t trying to sell you. The happy client knows your success story with them, but…

Motivation Monday, Issu #2: Just how free are you?

We're celebrating independence day this week and it got me thinking about freedom.  How many of us truly live like we're free?

What hinders you from feeling and being free? What one thing can you do this week to free yourself from judgement, schedule, conflict, worry, etc?

Start the conversation and…

How To Get People To Your Website

Get People To Your Website - A neverending conundrum....



Whenever I ask small business owners if they have an online presence, I often get the response ‘I’ve got a website!’ I usually follow that answer by asking ‘How is it working for you?’ Then I get a very bewildered look. I further ask, ‘how do you get people to your website?’

hmmmmm...

 

Consider this: When you’re walking in a mall, there are hundreds of stores. What makes you go to that new store in…

What Does It Mean To Find Your Niche?

Find Your Niche!



Oh my… how many times has someone told you to find your niche? Too many times! So often, new business owners are told to find your niche, without an explanation of what that really means. More often than not, the business owner has NO idea of

I Know This Is a Hot Button Topic But Here Goes... :-)

HeyYa'll!

 

I've never "blogged" before (I'm normally a commentor) so here goes... Does anyone watch Army Wives? I know that the show isn't very "realistic". I'm an Air Force wife and even I can see the differences in General Holden's Army and the real one. But still, it's fun to watch! And I like that they deal with real military issues. I'd say I'm somewhere between a Roxie/Pamela type person if you watch the show. My SIL is married to an Army Soldier so we always watch it…

Newbie from Oklahoma

Left for basic Jan. 10th, 2012, need address

I just received a call around midnight and the connection was so bad that i could barely make out my daughters address. I was just wondering if anyone else had a child that arrived there yesterday or if anyone has a clue as to where I can get this information. Sorry, I guess you might need to know that she is in the Air Force!!
