It is so important to have an inventory of your personal property. People who don’t have a lot of fine art, collectables or expensive, high-end electronics often think they don’t have enough to warrant an inventory. You’ll see it’s well worth your time or money to have this information available in case you have a fire, theft, or natural disaster. First, why do you have insurance?

As the holiday season comes to finale, one of the areas where stress tries to seem to creep into our minds is in the area of finances. With gift purchases adding up, tax considerations, and holiday travel expenses being incurred, many people are tempted to let negative vibrations into their lives because of increased spending. As with any other stress related topic, though, you have to know how to shift this one as well. Stop & Breathe!r

For many of us, the holiday season can seem to have a way of settling on us like a wet blanket. Many of the thoughts that try to work their way into our brains may seem as if they are attempting to steal our positive energy and shift us to a place of negative vibrations. Simple things, like managing a family gathering, can seem to be such a challenge! That is why we have to identify these stresses ahead of time and formulate a plan to overcome them.

I have spent the last couple weeks speaking in-depth with women entrepreneurs about their goals and what’s holding them back. Here’s what I see happening over and over again: women who are playing small. Super-duper, tiny small! Here are some of the ways this can show up in your sales and marketing, or your recruiting. • You’re uncertain how to describe the work you do. As a result, you feel anxious and insecure.

I've found that one of the biggest causes of stress is our inability to say no. Whether it is out of guilt, a sense of obligation, or the desire to avoid hurt feelings, we say yes when we really shouldn't. Are you a "yes" person? If you are you overwhelmed, overscheduled and frustrated, you probably are. If so, don't feel bad - you're in good company - few of us have mastered this ability! But it's time to start because no one benefits when you take on more than you can handl

People quit too easily. They quit their businesses, their marriages, and their own self-improvement when things get uncomfortable. People will enable you to surrender at the first sign of trouble.

Do you have a good presence? What does your image say about your career and personal success? There is more to having the right image for personal and business success than just wearing a great fitting pair of pants or handing out an impressive business card.

I love words - "I use two packs of words a day" is a great line I heard at a poetry slam. And yet, people derive 60% - 80% of our meaning (our intentional meaning or our unintentional meaning) through something OTHER than our words! Here are just a few words associated with each feeling.

Step 1. Key components of your weekly schedule • Planning • Doing the work: parties, telephone calls, interviews with prospects, etc. • Administrative tasks • Self-development • Relaxing and recharging. Even without personally knowing you, I’m pretty confident that at least one of the items on that list is something you do not like to do and so you avoid it. When you find yourself starting to avoid one of these (maybe even to the extent of avoiding putting it on your calendar!), go back to your WHY and remind yourself.

In order to do, be, and have what you want, the first step is asking and the second step is receiving. Receiving requires both the belief that you deserve your gift and that you be willing to accept it.

So much trouble, that we manage to never actually obtain what we say we want!

Comparing ourselves to other people - we've all done it at some point. When you're comparing yourself to someone, your mental dialog may sound like: Look at how great Sheila is doing! I can't believe how fast she's grown her business! I wish I could grow my business that fast. Of course, I've got [more kids, less time, less money] than she does.

Homeowners make decisions every day. Often these decisions can adversely impact the cost of their homeowners insurance policy. As the economy continues to change, it is wise to shop for your insurance at least every two years.

Customer service and agent availability are very important.

Living life as an empowered woman isn't a pipe dream. It can be a reality for any woman who chooses to accomplish this in her life and then takes the necessary steps to achieve it. That being said, it may not happen over night. As women, we face unique challenges that have to be identified, examined, and navigated.

Your TREE consists of 4 things: Talking Relaxing Exercising Eating well Talking "A problem shared is a problem halved". You don't need to do this alone.

Small business owners are known for juggling projects, doing multiple tasks at the same time and rarely having enough time in the day to do everything they know they should do.

What do people think of when they think of you? Your sense of humor, your fashion sense, your common sense, your enthusiasm? This is your brand. Do solopreneurs even have brands?

Why is self-care important?

How quickly can your company get back to doing business after a tornado, fire, flood or computer crash? Every year, thousands of companies are unprepared. The US Department of Labor states that over 40% of small businesses that experience a disaster never reopen, and of the remaining companies, at least 25% will close within 2 years. These statistics are probably even higher now considering the economy and difficulty for small business owners to access money when it’s needed.
