Just a quick note to let you know that I'm back from vacation and back in the swing!
We spent a little over a week in our favorite vacation spot. I'll go out on a limb here and share a few shots of me and my hubby out on our fishing trips. Well, okay, it's really about the fish!...

"Battle Buddies" for Business Success
by Chris Conlee
The sun beat down unmercifully sending heat shimmers
across the field before me, and stinging sweat was
drawn to my eyes as if by a magnet. To my right, my
battle buddy fired three shot groups at our "enemy"
down the lane of fire and I jumped up and dashed for
all I was worth to the next tree stump.

The Opportunity Clock
By Chris Widener
When I was in college, I heard someone say something that has been with me ever since. It was something that demonstrated to me a positive attitude and the choice to take something that most people dread, and change it into a motivating factor.
He called the alarm clock the “opportunity clock.”

The Power of Acceptance
By Julie Fuimano, Personal & Career Coach
In our coaching sessions, clients often discuss struggles or frustrations
they're experiencing. Struggling is characterized by that feeling of trying
to place a round peg in a square hole. It's a stressful place to be. It's
also energy draining, time consuming, and it distracts them from the goals
they're working on.

Affiliate Communication
By Sharon Housley
Communication is Key!
When building an affiliate network communicating with
affiliates is important for merchants to maintain a good
relationship. An affiliate's web site targets visitors, who
may not necessarily view a merchant's web site, and
therefore expands a merchants market. An affiliate may not
be able to actively keep up with the merchants product, it
is important for a merchant to keep affiliate's informed
about new product information, sales, new releases, links,
graphics, promotions and special offers.

How to Guarantee a GREAT Day Every Day!

I have a standing interview every Monday morning on a radio station in the southeast that I enjoy very much. You can imagine though that it can become routine. So to make it a little more fun, the host nowadays doesn’t even tell me the topic before we go live on the air – that puts some excitement into it!

The Words You Use in Your Job Search Send a Strong Message
by Carole Martin, The Interview Coach
www.interviewcoach.com
The words you use to express yourself say more
about you than you think. In fact, your vocabulary
and the use of appropriate words say more about
you than the message you are trying communicate.
You are judged by the words you use. When you are
looking for a job it is not only important to use
the "right" words and language - it is essential.

Courage That Changes Your Life
By Chris Widener
The scars you acquire while exercising courage will never make you feel inferior. D.A. Battista
Courage is fear that has said its prayers. Dorothy Bernard
Courage. It is a word that conjures up images of great and dramatic actions. And yet I realize that we all have the opportunity to be courageous every day, in small and large ways. And it is when we choose to be courageous that we change our lives and the lives of those around us.

4 Obvious Reasons To Simplify
By Kathy Gates, Professional Life Coach
www.reallifecoach.com
Are you someone who thinks about -- maybe even wistfully dreams
about -- a simpler, less stressful, more meaningful life, but
associate simplifying with giving away everything you own, and
going back to baking your own bread?
Unfortunately, that attitude can scare you away from making the
simple (pardon the pun) kind of changes that can make your life
so much easier and less stressful.

A FORMULA FOR A SUCCESSFUL LIFE
By Steve Goodier
I have a friend who is a CPA. He lamented with me once about some of
his wealthier clients – those with six and seven figure incomes. Some
of these people, he said, even despite the obvious tax benefits,
refused to give any of their money away. Some are spending more money
on grooming their pets than on feeding hungry children. They simply
have not discovered the importance and power of giving. And sadly,
these wealthier clients are in a position to do something significant,
but they choose to do nothing at all.

Making the Jump From Hobbyist to Small Business (Part I)
©Andy White (
andy@coudycoffee.com)
Like many others, I was told early on that real success would come
when I could "fire my salaried job." And like many others, I also
found that easier said than done. Thus the discovery of the very
first requirement for starting a small business: Motivation!
Motivation comes in all shapes and sizes. Mine came in the form of a
realization that my family needed me home more than my bi-coastal job
was allowing. For others, it's the loss of a steady job. And for
others, it's the stress of workplace politics. Whatever it may be,
mark it well... because starting a small business absolutely requires
a very strong commitment. It may be possible to do without true
motivation; but I doubt it!
So... there I was, a motivated corporate wage-slave, needing to make
a change. What then? I needed a business idea. Something that I
really liked, I thought to myself. For me, this translated into
immediate fantasies of taking my very meager woodworking skills and
turning out masterful pieces of furniture that would fetch thousands
(okay, hundreds) per piece. Well, it was a nice fantasy while it
lasted. and it lasted right up through the day I took my
severance deal and quit my job.
Then reality set in.
The second requirement for starting a small business? Forming a
sound business idea! "Sound" means sanity-checked. Do you have the
skills to tackle not only Production, but Planning? Never mind
actual bookkeeping and sales abilities; do you know how to recognize
a market and analyze where you MIGHT be able to make a profit?
I'm blessed with a uniquely sane spouse, and just enough courage to
continue the process of bouncing dumb ideas off of her. Over a
period of months (no instant gratification here, alas!), we shook out
several things. Not the least of which was the third requirement: A
knowledge of how much we needed to make at this business.
Wow. As scary as it sounds now... I started out this trek not even
knowing how much I absolutely HAD to clear for my business to be
viable. Not viable to the IRS, or my banker... but to my family.
So much for the easy part: the conceptual stage. Armed with actual
goals (and more than a few unrealistic business plans that I
discarded along the way), I did two things. I put my resume out on
the street, to buy myself some more time. And I also started
networking, to see if I could start getting some marketing
intelligence as well as moral support within my local community
around one business notion that I just couldn't kill off... turning
up the volume on my home coffee-roasting hobby and becoming a pro.
(In part two, I'll cover the more nuts-and-bolts requirements,
planning and execution foibles I uncovered along the way to the
business launch.)
