For a long time I was employed with this small startup company. It had about 10 employees, most of whom had Ph.Ds. They hired me to do the grunt work, which at first sounded pretty exciting. My role was to enter data, email potential clients, make pithy jokes, look handsome, maybe order supplies once in a while. Overall it wasn't a bad gig. The pay was adequate and the company was taking off. Within a year they had a total of 22 employees that they enticed (read: "stole") fro

There seems to be a consistent theme running about. Entrepreneurs especially women are lacking the support from those closest to them. Being told to “Get a Real Job”or “Stop Playing at Business” “Who do YOU think You Are?” or even worse the silent treatment. I am wondering at this point what is a real job anyway now a days? There is no loyalty or security now a days at a “real job”. To make matters worse these entrepreneurs are putting on a face to the rest of the world that everything is great. Burning the candle at both ends will only hurt you in the long run.
Management by walking around (MBWA) is a common management practice that can be very helpful in managing and engaging employees, setting a good example, and staying in touch with what's really happening with employees. It means that the manager leaves his or her office to go out "onto the floor" of the office, plant, lab, etc. and see what people are doing. The purpose is two-fold: both to learn what is going on and get a sense of morale, and also to demonstrate that you're interested and present.

Life is choices and there is no way around that. From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep your entire day will be filled with choices that you have to make. Even if you decide not to make a choice you are still making a choice.

Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes. I woke up with that phrase rolling around in my mind – Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes. A little mantra that I didn’t consciously decide to recite so I’m going to call it a gift from the Universe (or whatever benevolent source you like to think is out there).

Many of us struggle to lose weight. We work hard for a few months and then we put weight back on. Herein lies our problem: we eat as if we are going to lose weight for the interim and then go back to our old ways.
