It hardly seems possible that it's almost mid-September.
I don't think I really was paying much attention until all the stores are selling school supplies, and then I took notice. School? Already?
Yup, our street will be really quiet with all the kiddos back in class.
That also means everyone starts thinking about fall. And when you think about fall you think it's time to really get cracking and get back to work on your business.
I have to say, I like slower summers. I purposely end my groups about June. I have created a new program, a daily accountability program which is quite cool. I got 4 new wonderful clients.
It's a fallacy to think that no business happens in the summer. I know a lot of people believe that, but I don't.
Yes, in some ways it is slower, which is great.
It also gives you time to really look at your business. How is it going? What needs to be added, subtracted, improved, or invented?
How is your Team running? Don't have Team, that's fine but at some point you really will need to hire someone to help you. You truly can't build a solid business alone. You need at least one person to help you do the things you don't know how to do and have no desire to learn. (Or shouldn't take the time to learn!)
You also need a coach. You need someone to help you learn the tips and tricks of building a business. I know you might think that will cost too much but believe me, in the long run it will save you time and money. There are plenty of great coaches out there for you to choose from.
As summer comes to a close, what are your plans? What have you done this summer? What questions do you have? What do you need help with?

Be Honest. How Much Money Will You Have to Retire On When You Stop Working?
I wonder how many of you even know. I'll bet a lot of you don't know. Or you kind of know but not really. It's vitally important for you to know. For some of you, if you have a more 'elaborate' retirement planned (lots of travel etc) you will need more than someone who has very simple wants and desires. There certainly is no right way but you need to know your truth. One of the lucky things about being a woman is you generally live longer than men. Wonderful!! But you will need more money.

When Is a Good Time to Ramp Up Your On-Line Business and Your Life?
Is there ever a bad time? I don't think so. And I also believe that if you ramp up your business your life will change and if you ramp up your life, your business with change. I really don't believe you can separate the two but for now I want to focus on your business.

How important is an Ethical Will to Boomer Women? Very.
Ethical Wills have been around for many generations but seem to be regaining their strength. That may be simply because many of you are getting to the stage in life where you begin thinking about what you are passing along to your children or other loved ones. Another term for Ethical Wills might be a “Values and Vision Statement.” In a nutshell, it is a tool for passing your memories, values and traditions to your loved ones and future generations. Keep in mind that an Ethical Will is not a legal document.
