This is an easy one for me. My epiphany, my moment of realization, came from reading The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber.
The concept is simple: Work ON your business as if you were going to replicate it, not IN your business, just “doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it.” In other words, figure out the system […]
I’m sure you’re thinking that’s an oxymoron: “Great” and “Graduation Speech.”
Every year people who are famous or rich (or sometimes both) get up and talk to college and high school graduation speakers. Humanity.org has cataloged excellent graduation speeches from 1936 to the present year. This year’s speech was given by Barbara Kingsolver titled […]

I remember my mother wore a wristwatch on a chain around her neck because she was allergic to the metal in the watchband. (I wonder why she didn’t […]
In my previous posts about bed and breakfasts as baby boomer businesses, I talked about what it takes to start a B&B. To be successful in this business, like any other, you must market. It’s not enough to have a “better mousetrap.” You must figure out how to let people know […]
A couple of days ago, I wrote about Bed and Breakfasts as great businesses for baby boomers.
Bed and breakfasts have been around for a long time. They started out many years ago in the U.K, spread around the world. B&B’s might have been called ‘guest houses’ in earlier times. They are not […]
“Running is a big question mark that’s there each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?’” - Peter Maher
We are all wimps about something. For some, it’s maybe spiders, or snakes. One of the girls in my office won’t […]
I’m traveling this weekend back home (Ohio) and to Olde World B&B, my favorite bed and breakfast in Dover, Ohio. About 8 years ago, my daughter- and son-in-law introduced my husband and I to the delight of a great bed and breakfast (our first experience was in Door County, Wisconsin). We were hooked, […]

I have another “gig” for About.com as a Guide for U.S. Small Business Law and Taxes. I recently wrote about the candidates’ business plans. (You can see what I wrote about Hillary Clinton’s opinions on business taxes, if you’re interested.)
Here is the information on Barak Obama and business taxes.

The theme for this week seems to be “take a chance.” I have been thinking a lot about taking chances. And the photo for “Fun Friday” seems to fit right in.
Take a chance! All life is a chance. The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to […]
