Morning!

Joy!  Is realizing you’re on the last legs of finalizing your new blog look and feel!

And agony is!  Realizing - your fingers slipped in your contact information and your contact form email reads:

And TRUE PAIN is! [Read more]

Morning!

It’s now been, hmmmm, 4 months since I’ve started problogging, and the amount of knowledge and tips I’ve gained is amazing.  Truly the blogosphere is a superb resource for teaching yourself just about anything regarding the art of communicating with people about whom you care.

I’ve also discovered that blogging can really help boost your income as well! 

One of my trademarks is always walking the walk I talk and consistently putting into practice everything I teach.  That’s why I maintain several blogs besides this one, including: [Read more]

QUICK!   I want you to imagine you give yourself permission to relax!

No no no, now stop that laughing!  Stop it I say!  It’s true, you know - you really don’t have to spend a bazillion hours blogging at your site or building your products or commenting on blogs or debating on forums or designing on Photoshop or …..

Get what I mean?

Yes indeed, you, yes YOU can actually give yourself permission to relax.  I promise you, the world won’t fall in pieces!

Are you still chortling?  You mean you’re done and back to sitting calmly?

Good! 

Seriously though, as a work at home mom and entrepreneur, giving myself permission to relax is one of the most difficult things I endure.  Yes, endure… because I always have this mental idea that I could be doing more.

Are you the same?

If so, [Read more]

Morning!

Yesterday I wrote the magnificently  insightful post:  How Stupid Are You?  Basically I discussed how important it is to know when you’re giving more than you’re receiving…and what to do when such non-optimal situations occur.

I neglected one very important step, however.

Here it is:

Luke…..pass on what you have learned……

QUICK!

For what do you want to be remembered before you exhale your last breath?

(and no, it’s probably not, gee, if only I had spent more time on Twitter!   :)  )

For me, it’s that I’ve made the world a better place for my family and friends. 

For as long as I can remember, that’s what [Read more]

There comes a time in everyone’s life where Enough is Enough.  But tell me now - do you possess the intelligence to recognize when you’ve reached this point?  Even more so, are you smart enough to proactively take action?

Well?

Think about your goals for your blogging - whom you help out, what you want to achieve, for whom you are working (ie, do you work to bring in success for your family?  Friends?  Parents?  etc.etc.etc.).  For all of your effort, I want to ask you:

Morning!

It’s been a past few days of major major changes in my blogging layout! 

After researching other authority blogs online and taking stock of my current business objectives/goals/etc., I’ve made two powerful decisions - I’m going to:

• Focus AskOwlbert on MetaBlogging/Personal development
• Move my entrepreneur/make money postings to my flagship site

Of course, this meant completely revamping

Money is good.  Happiness is better.  Both of them together…well, that can really make life rock (especially if you add coffee!  :)  ).

Thus, let me now as you:

What inspires you to make things happen and excel past all possible predictions? 

It can be many things.  Consider the:

• Desire to better your financial position.
• Love for your family.
• Love for your true friends.
• Passion for a cause.
• Desire to teach by example money-making skills to your family

Many, many many MANY reasons [Read more]

(YAAAAAAWWWWNNNNNNN)!  It never fails….every Tuesday, I throw myself 110% into my martial arts bjj, Kendo and Adult sparring, collect 2-3 fresh black and blue marks, end up being knocked all over the place…and then just cannot get to sleep. 

It’s quite maddening, really - finally I get home, I crawl into bed, I witness my 382 new aches that keep my muscles continuously nudging me and quietly bellowing "So you just hadda say, c’mon, is that all you got?"….and my body joyfully responded, sleeping is a forbidden activity here!  Wheeeee!

Add to that my son woke up me up at 2am with a lovely bloody nose river flowing gently every which way, and you have a recipe for one exhausted entrepreneur!

But I digress. 

So!  I hear you’re interested in developing an authority site or blog.  ‘Tis a worthy endeavor!  And while you achieve that by [Read more]

Morning!  You really don’t appreciate the concept of "silence" until your 15 office Twitter Budgies decide to do their best to imitate a heavy metal concert minus earplugs at 4:28am in the morning.   Such are the, ahem, joys, of having them reside in one’s office. 

But I digress. 

Are you on Twitter?  I’m on Twitter!  And so is Chris Garrett!  While contemplating Paradise in a Brimming Cup (ie, my morning coffee), he tweeted:
