Quick to Click “Buy,” Too? Time for a Spending Detox!

Welcome back to week two!  Do you miss Kristen yet? Last week, I had you list all of your business expenses to transfer them from your personal account to your business account. Did you find any monthly expenses that you either didn’t realize you were paying for or don’t need anymore? There may be old [...]

Personal + Business Money Breakup: Part II

Hey there, Karie again! Last week we started breaking up your business and personal money with two simple steps. You can catch up here, I’ll wait. This week, we’re going to go even further into the world of finance and business. Stick with me, it doesn’t have to be painful. Step Three: Keep it simple! [...]

Personal + Business Money Break Up: Part I

While Kristen is away hugging orphans, we’re going to make her proud and get some work done. I’ll be the cool substitute teacher that lets you watch movies and chew gum if you do your work. Ready?

HOW TO OUTSOURCE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY EDITING WITHOUT PANIC.

First, you’ll have to find a company you love to work with. For me, that’s Colorati. Every shot I’ve taken on a dSLR in the past few years and deemed a ‘keeper’ has been processed by Colorati. I begged their founder, Leon Sandoval, to come on over and talk outsourcing with all of you! This [...]

ONE STEP TO THE END OF PROCRASTINATION.

BUG SPRAY, BUILDING, AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Brea Bursch and I met on Facebook, where she was bubbling over with tales of her recent volunteering adventures.  We were brainstorming ways to make a big ol’ volunteer trip happen, and she was too helpful for words.  (Karaoke nights and chili cookoffs — as fundraisers!?  Genius!)  I’ve made room here for her to tell [...]

LUX UNDERCOVER SNEAK PEEK

There was going to be a post about Becoming here to sell the last few spots — but it sold out!  And so…you get to see what I’m working on right this second, from the 12th floor of the Ritz Carlton.  This is from Alicia’s introduction to Lux Undercover. – Growing up as a child, [...]

WOMEN CREATE.

Whether you are a filmmaker, a photographer, or a creative soul, this is an empowering message.  Thanks to the lovely Brea McDonald for sharing with me! – “Because of their age long training in human relations—for that is what feminine intuition really is— women have a special contribution to make to any group enterprise.” ~ [...]

GUEST AUTHOR: EMILEE FUSS

I’m in Paris, soaking up croissants and strolling along the banks of the Seine. You shouldn’t be jealous, though, ’cause you get to hear from the phenomenal Emilee Fuss while I’m away! Enjoy her words of wisdom, and the eye candy she’s so generously included with the post. – There is so much to learn [...]
