Entrepreneurs | How To Stay On Schedule
Business // May 6, 2013 Being an ambitious entrepreneur is a gift and a curse. On the one hand you get things done.

Job Hunting | Revamping Your Job Search

Job Hunting | Revamping Your Job Search
Job Hunting // March 25, 2013 If you’re searching for a job, here’s something you already know: it sucks.  There’s nothing fun about going through hundreds of job listings, tailoring your resume to each one and firing it off into the abyss, not knowing if it’s ever even going to be viewed by a recruiter.  Looking for employment is a job in itself, and it sucks up time, energy, patience, and…

Made Woman of the Month // February 11, 2013 What does it take to be great? It would be so much easier if we could call up Oprah and ask her, but most of us don’t have that luxury. Instead, we have to try, fail, win, lose, step up and get shot down before we can figure it out. The mental warfare involved in just getting through a Made Woman’s…

Business | Caught Up At The Office Christmas Party?
Business // December 17, 2012 Someone says, “The office Christmas party is next week!” You think, “Bring on the booze!”…and we have a problem. I really don’t know the origin of this idea that the office Holiday/Christmas party should be a near-orgy, booze fest but I’m pretty sure the cast of Mad Men is to blame. Be that as it may, we don’t all have to succumb to the tequila…
