27 Pages to Prosperity!
Picture it! You’re sitting by yourself in your office, or maybe you are out at a restaurant waiting on friends. You suddenly have a ‘eureka’ moment, or to kill time waiting you begin to draft some business ideas and plans out on a napkin or a scratch piece of paper. You get done scribbling out your ideas and plans, or your friends show up, and you stick that napkin or paper in your pocket or desk drawer. Unfortunately for most, they are never to be seen again.

“Waking Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed” is not an option!
Good morning! How has your morning kicked off? I will admit to you that this morning I have woke up on the ’wrong side of the bed’. For reasons I am not sure of, I was up and down throughout the night, the alarm went off multiple times beginning at 5:30 a.m., and I laid there through multiple snooze buttons considering my options of pulling the covers over my head or getting up and facing the day. I chose the latter. I had to. I have employees, prospects, partners, and clients counting on it. I also have several business meetings and deadlines to ’show up’ for before the day ends.

You Need to Spend Money to Make Money!
Back when I was a buyer for a large department store in Miami, Florida, on the wall behind my desk hung a cut out piece of felt that had a saying on it that read ” You have to spend money to make money”. At the time retail was struggling and many retailers were cutting back on the quantities of merchandise they would buy to stock or inventory the stores with. As well they were slashing prices every time a competitor blinked or with each day that passed and sales goals were not being met.

Networking, Today, Tomorrow, Always!
Prior to deciding on my next career adventure, I experienced what many have, and I never imagined myself experiencing. That was, the five minute ‘we are making some organization changes’ discussion, from my manager. Even as he said that, I was imagining a different job, a new role, maybe a downsizing of my responsibility within the company. I never imagined after years of dedication, loyalty, and, if you allow me to boast, significant contribution, that I along with others, was being downsized right out of our jobs. Unbelievable!

Tips for Creating the Story of You for Business and Life!!!!
I never really paid attention to the literal meaning of the questio “So, what’s your story?” I often found it to be sarcasm or merely a spin on asking “What’s up?” However, over the last five years, since being handed a pink slip of freedom from Corporate America, and jou eying out into my own entrepreneurship adventure, everything I now do to position myself and my company, is tell my story. It’s what every customer, prospect, vendor or partner, even relationship suitor wants: to know, like and trust – my story; YOUR story.
