One more summer weekend and one more summer festival but this time a folk festival. I retrieved the chairs from the basement, (only used for the folk festival because of low height) and it occurred to me that I should write our names on them as we would be traveling with a group this year. So off I went to get a Sharpie, and I thought I’d write my URL on the back, free advertising.

After last week’s fiasco I had learned my lesson. I knew one of the weaker areas of my business was marketing myself and had been working on a more polished elevator speech about what I do. The opportunity came shortly after we unfolded our chairs when the gal behind us asked what I did. Without hesitation the elevator speech rolled off...

This past Sunday, my husband and I were getting ready to attend a summer festival so I threw a few business cards in my bag along with sunscreen, sunglasses and water. You never know when you’ll meet a potential client.



So off we go to the festival and within the first thirty minutes amid the crowds and noise I spy my husband chatting with a gal on a bike. As I move closer I see it is Karen (not her real name), an acquaintance of ours.

You don’t need a college education, a degree in journalism or be technically inclined, all you need is a connection to the internet, it can even be at the local library. You can create a blog in just a few minutes with no prior experience and you can do it for FREE.



You can write in a variety of languages, you can publish photos,...

I know it is Saturday but I had some things I needed to tend to in my office. I finished my bookkeeping and set aside three things that I would get to next week during office hours. But where to put them, usually I clip them up on my file cab with a magnet ready for the next day but one look around my office and I knew that it needed a good Spring Cleaning.

Why is it that everything seems to land right in my work area. I thought my filing was done but there still seemed to be too many papers, envelopes, and well, just stuff. The wires under my desk needed some taming and my clients business cards were neatly organized scanned and verified, mine were still sitting in a pile.

Where to start. I took a look...
