19 Years and Counting
19 is a weird year. I kind of knew what I wanted at 18, but then you know, real life had to kick in and change all the rules. Like, having to pay to go in for a check up to needing to pay taxes, which I will say I never learned with my 3.75 GPA.

Choosing to Work from Home
I'm still wondering how I've determined that the smartest move for my life is to become a stay at home mom who works at home. Even as I sit here with my duct tape-covered laptop while Tumble Leaf plays on the television to distract my kids, I don't understand how I thought this was the best choice for supporting my family.

Which Banana Would You Choose?
There is of course never a single answer that perfectly encapsulates the choice we would each make when hiring people. I have hired some great candidates in my career and made some dud choices too. With each hire, you learn something a little different.

Freelancing, and Why I Risked Everything to Do It
We have all dreamed of becoming our own boss, right? Not taking orders from someone else, creating our own schedule, and not dealing with those pesky customers. Trust me when I say I know plenty of people who want that and let's just say for me, I didn't really have a choice in the matter. My very first job was at a Subway when I was sixteen years old and ever since then, I wouldn't keep a job for longer than two weeks. That was when I was sixteen; I am now twenty years old and I have had more than ten different types of jobs.

The Playground Vs the Work Place!
The last post I wrote about bullying in the workplace prompted a lot of people to come forward and say they have been victims of bullying by a boss. When I have conversations with my daughter about the school playground, then conversations with family and friends about their workplaces, these conversations have a lot of similarities. In both scenarios there can be hierarchy backstabbing, gossiping etc. However in some instances children are often spoken to by teachers in a more respectful way than how line employers talk to employees.

Tapping the Inner Treasure
Have you ever felt as though there was something very valuable inside of you? If there was a way to access this hidden treasure, would you be interested in learning how to do so? I have just the insight for you. Below are the four most profound questions you can ask yourself which will enable you to unveil what I call your "dominant gift". So what is the "dominant gift"? It is an innate/primary endowment bestowed upon each individual to serve humanity and contribute to society. Once discovered and utilized, it has the potential of enabling a person to become great. One of the most significant aspects of this dynamic skill is that it comes already equipped with the necessary knowledge and wisdom needed to operate if effectively.
