Value of Reducing the Time Spent on Social Media

During a recent trip with my husband, I definitely appreciated the value of reducing the time spent on social media. Instead of constantly interacting with Facebook and LinkedIn, I focused on enjoying the scenery around me. Plus, it was so refreshing to have so much uninterrupted time to reconnect with my husband. In the evenings, we would read or just go to sleep early. It was one of the most relaxing trips I’ve taken in a long time. Have you found ways to step away from social media, or at least reduce your time on it? If you haven’t, I [...]

Many Benefits of Participating in Facebook Groups

There are many benefits of participating in Facebook Groups. Over time, Facebook has changed the rules on how many people see the posts on Facebook business pages. Therefore, more business people are becoming more active in Facebook groups to reach a wider audience. Some groups are associated with an organization that meets in real life. (Or for now, that group may be meeting virtually.) Some business people may offer exclusive Facebook groups for their clients. Still other groups might be for people in a shared industry. In my case, I've been part of all these kinds of groups and see [...]

Giving Away Your Best Stuff is Good for You and Your Business

I truly believe that giving away your best stuff is good for you and your business. On the face of it, giving away your best stuff may not make sense.

We can each give of ourselves in countless ways, and it’s important to find the ways that fit you. Seeing so many people losing their jobs and business owners struggling, I decided to give back by helping job [...]

If you want to visit a Toastmasters club, go to https://www.toastmasters.org/find-a-club  to find a club near you. I recommend that you [...]
