Just because you build it, doesn’t mean they’ll come

field-of-dreams

I’m sure I’m probably dating myself with this post title, so for those of you who are younger than me, I’m ripping off the famous line from the movie “Field of Dreams” with Kevin Costner. If you build it, they will come. I’m really not one for sports metaphors (o.k. -technically it’s not really a [...]

Are you blogging like you mean it?

blogging-wordpress

The title for this post came to me before I really even knew exactly what it meant. Ever had that happen? I think it came to me because I’ve really been thinking a LOT about my business, how it’s run, what types of services/products I want to offer, etc. Fortunately as I’ve gotten older I’ve [...]

Are you a jumper?

WordPress Bandwagon

As in bandwagon. This is something that I feel like I’m seeing quite a bit more of lately- but I think that’s simply because I’ve become pretty conscious of it (kind of like when you buy a new car and all of the sudden it seems like everyone has the same car?). Once something comes [...]

love letter studiopress

At one time or another I’m sure most bloggers have questioned what the right balance is between sharing personal things on their blog and writing about their niche. If anyone knows the answer- or has found a good formula- I’d love to hear it. Over the last few months I’ve done some serious reflecting on [...]

So this came as a TOTAL surprise the other day and a HUGE honor! As I’ve started to get back into my normal daily routines (now that the movie is actually produced)- one of the things I’ve been working on is picking up the social media side of my business.  So I was SO thrilled [...]

[AUDIO] My behind the scenes interview with Denise Wakeman for Women in Business 2.0

WIBdec1

When I decided to make the movie, Women in Business 2.0, I really didn’t know quite what I was getting into! But I think that’s the beauty of having an idea that’s SO BIG! It just kind of grabs you, takes a hold of you and puts things into motion. That being said, even with [...]

ProBlogger 7 Link Challenge

I love it when an idea for a post just shows up…without much effort on my part! This was one of those occasions. I subscribe to Problogger’s feed and have it on my iGoogle homepage (because I’m THAT impatient…don’t want to wait until tomorrow to get the good stuff… ) and here’s the post title [...]

The WordPress Chick – Blogs I read and recommend part 2

WordPress Chick blogs I recommend

I debated for a while on when I would write the second post in this series (yes, I’ve decided to keep this going…but obviously there may be a while before the next post shows up – simply because I’m still on a ‘discovery’ mission for more new blogs).  Initially I was thinking that I needed [...]
