Why You Shouldn’t Fear Your Business Competition
Janeal Ford of Fordable Freelance says that--especially when it comes to funding your business (her area of expertise)--take the words “unique” and “only” out of your vocab. Recognize that there are organizations with similar goals to yours. Instead of seeing other businesses in your industry as competitors, realize that they are potential partners. Acknowledge and appreciate what you each offer. Identify how your differences can compliment each other, how you can partner to serve your …
Choosing to Forgive: Setting the Re-Do Button
When my kids are in trouble and have to say they're sorry to the injured or hurt party, I always make them say, "Please forgive me for..." Most of the time they follow through properly, but sometimes, especially with the youngest, it's met with puppy eyes, smiles, hugs and kisses for the recently bitten sibling. It seems innocent, but there is a process to an apology that starts at a young age and only gains more genuineness as they grow. Usually when a timeout or spanking is about to occur the …

This is Part 2 of a series on how to start a non-profit: although, some info is applicable to for-profits as well! Feel free to refer back to Part 1 of this series {Here} before getting started!

Stop the Negativity Bias. Start Loving Yourself.
For women, when it comes to our bodies, are we ever happy? When given a compliment about our appearance, why is it our default to deflect it and point out something else that is wrong? For example, today I saw my friend at the gym. We’ve both been training hard and her efforts have really paid off—her arms are so strong and toned! I had to compliment her, I am just so proud and inspired. The convo went something like this: Me: “Kate you are looking great! Your arms are so …
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!
Chia Seeds seem to be popping up on trendy menus everywhere so I decided to do some research and recipe testing to see what the fuss was about! Let me start off by saying that the tea you order at Starbucks is called Chai and pronounced Ch-I and this amazing breakfast pudding recipe I will be sharing with you is made with Chia seeds pronounced Ch-E-uh…as in Chia Pet. Yep, not even joking! This delicious little black and white seed also happens to be the fantastic white elephant gift at …
The Supportive Spouse
Picture this... The kids woke up early making nap time a must for the little ones. The breakfast menu is limited due to the extreme need to grocery shop as well as the piling high of dirty clothes in the hamper making finding a matching outfit entertaining. The floors look no different from outside and the heat from the summer days have turned pleasant kids into cranky, sweaty, exhausted little humans who have no time to assist with house chores. You never had a chance to take a shower …
There is Always, Always Something to be Thankful For
Thankfulness is a word we throw around pretty nonchalantly. We utter a “thank you” to plenty of people through out the day whether it be to our family members, a coworker or a grocery store clerk. I never really thought much about being thankful until I found myself navigating through a situation in which I felt I couldn’t be thankful. In January 2010 our 5 1/2 month old baby boy, Case, died of SIDS. Grief was a process that I was familiar with, my mom had died 9 years before, but I didn’t …
A Successful Failure
“Honey, we need to sell the salon...” Those words were incredibly hard to hear, yet alone accept, as together my husband and I had owned and operated a seven chair full service salon which employed 14 young women at one time. It was never my dream to own a business and I certainly wasn’t trained to do the job well. This journey begun when my husband came home and told me I needed my own salon, only after being a stylist for two years, and said it was time that we buy one. In less than a month, …
