Last week, I did a series of posts on where you can donate over the holidays and on Giving Tuesday. The places were: • Hustle Chicago 2019 • The GoFundMe for Ita Olsen — her house burnt down in the California wildfires • Safe Haven for Cats • RebuildNC I’d also like to offer a few…
Hey, everybody. Happy Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday rolled into one weird weekend for solopreneurs like me who sell services on the internet. I’m working feverishly on my book, but it’s too soon to sell you anything other than a manuscript. But I do have two deals you might want to buy.…
Are you one of those people who judges someone who gets diabetes or cancer? “Oh, they’re fat. Oh, they’re a smoker. They wouldn’t be sick if they took better care of themselves.” Man, I hope you’re not one of those people. While it’s true that some health-related conditions are due to lifestyle choices, it’s…
Sometimes it seems like tragedy is so far away. Tsunamis? Earthquakes? Wildfires? Those are crazy events that happen on the other side of the country or planet. Nothing like will ever touch your family. And while it’s easy to donate $10 to the Red Cross, you’re probably not gonna do it because everybody hits you…
We had a few days of lovely weather here in North Carolina. That’s why I don’t live anywhere else at this point in my life. I want sunshine, blue skies and no humidity in November. This year’s weather has been weird, but, yesterday, we finally eeked out a gorgeous day. So, I did what comes…

For the next 40 days, you’ll be bombarded with ads that make you feel like you’re not doing enough as a person. The only way you can make amends for your personality deficiencies? Buy something…
I’ll go anywhere for good tacos. It’s not a great business strategy, but, when it comes to eating Tex-Mex, I’ll organize my business calendar around speaking opportunities. That’s how I wound up in Austin, last week, at the Texas Conference for Women speaking to an overflow room about managing up with an author named Mary…
I’m redoing my website. Like, I’m spending money on it. This isn’t a small decision because redoing a website is a serious investment that will either improve your business or make you look like an AOL knockoff. I don’t want my brand to scream ‘you’ve got mail’. My team — and it’s truly a team…
Is HRCI recertification worth it? I’m no longer a human resources consultant or leader. The last time anybody asked for my HR advice, Obama was in office. Everybody agreed that it was wrong to be rude, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist and ageist in the workforce. We’re definitely in the upside down. It’s my goal…
Next Year is Finally Now. It’s November 5th. The year is almost over. Have you achieved your goals? Want to take a risk in January but are afraid of getting fired? Are you looking to shake up your career in 2019? Well, you don’t have to be Mark Zuckerberg or Brené Brown to try new…
