The following is a guest post by Shelly Kulesza, CEO of IgniteITgroup.com. As a guest blogger, Judy has asked me to share a little about my organization and the path I took to get here – the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am blessed that, for the most part, my path to entrepreneurism […]
My name is Barbara Doweidt, I was simply a stay at home mom. You know the type, your day starts at 6:00 AM getting kids up and ready for school. Spending your day making appointments, arranging schedules, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, gardening, then chauffeuring your children to their after school activities. My children are now […]
How many of you have an idea in your head that you just know should be a book? I bet everyone reading this is nodding their head. I love to write and have always written in a journal or back then it was a diary. It was someplace to share your thoughts and dreams and it was for […]
This past year has been the year of the unknown. What was I going to do? Where was I going to do it? How would I get this idea off the ground? Why would anyone listen? What did I want to be when I grew up? Have you been there? Are you there now? I thought so […]
The definition of being vulnerable is: Susceptible to physical or emotional injury; Susceptible to attack; Open to censure or criticism. These are certainly not positive thoughts that you want to have to start your day. However, I was just sent a video by one of my closest girlfriends that put a new spin on a not so […]
While this blog is about my journey, and I do want it to be in the correct sequence, the next blog or two are a little out of order, but they are too important to hold on to. If you go back and read the post on South Bend, the Final Frontier, you will remember […]
I’m up at bat-Will you be speaking anywhere locally….Strike One How about a website?…Strike Two Ok then send me a brochure…not even a full count. This was a fly ball right into the outfielder’s mitt. YOU’RE OUT!!! I couldn’t even breathe. I just wanted to curl up under my blankies and call it a day. […]
So now you see the concept and realize the grunt work in the back end is the only way to get the front to work. I had become the networking queen. I join, attend and benefit from everywhere I go. It’s not only the receiving part that is unbelievable, it is the giving part that […]
This is the winning concept. For those of you that know me, you know all the industries I have worked in…construction, home and auto glass, insurance. What do they all have in common? Male dominated industries is the common thread. Being in the minority had its own advantage-standing out in the sea of men. At […]
Ok so it isn’t the first sentence I really needed. Was it the content I was trying to figure out? Nope that wasn’t it either. Was it trying to decide on my colors, logo and design before I could get started? Nope that wasn’t it either. The winning answer….JUST DO IT! That’s right. I felt […]
If there was nothing in my way, and I could do whatever I wanted, I would want to bring value to groups of people with information that would help to make them successful and travel around to different locations doing that. Confusing? Clear as mud to me. What will the content be? I already have […]
Well I did go to Chicago for that final training. Here’s what I weighed: I had no new projects and all my projects were done. I got the thumbs up from everyone and if I didn’t get to be out of the office I think I would have internally combusted. I think I made the […]
