Remember the day’s when you worked in a corporate job?

You had those pesky co-workers who you really didn’t like, but you just had to live with.  We’ll here’s a fun clip from the NBC TV series “The Office” where Dwight is protecting his space from his encroaching office worker.
Watch this funny short .45 second video clip. It will make you smile! :)

This is why I love having my own business.  You get to choose WHO you do business with!  And knowing how to build your own website get’s you there!

Ever wonder how to get a calendar embedded onto your website? To display upcoming events for yourself, or for your community?  Well I think the best way to do this is with a Google Calendar!

Yes, There are many WordPress plugins to add calendars on your website, but I find that it’s easier to manage with Google Calendar, because I’m already using it with my personal calendar, and with my team calendar. Here are the steps to do it:

Step 1)  Click the down-arrow next to the calendar you want to embed, and select Calendar settings.

 

 Step 2)  Copy the iframe code displayed in the ‘Embed This Calendar’ section or customize the color, size, and other options first.

 

 Step 3)   Paste this code into your website in the HTML editor of your Blog and hit PUBLISH.

(These instructions came from the Google website  here )

Step 4)  View Your Calendar on Your WordPress Website!

As you can see, this calendar does not have many events on it yet, I will be updating this as I add public events to the calendar, and when I launch my Website Creation Workshop Coaching Program in January!

This fun little video shows the spirit of Thanksgiving preparations that I do before the big day. It’s under 2 minutes and will give you a big smile.

Aside from celebrating Thanksgiving, and reflecting on family and relationships, I like to use this time to focus on what I came into this world to create.

As you know, the business world slows down during the holidays, so it gives you a chance to reflect on YOUR purpose, and your gifts to the world.

It’s a great time to create!

You’ve probably heard this before…
 
“Successful business owners outsource almost everything”
 
And if you’ve ever tried to build a website on your own, and gotten frustrated with all the techie stuff, then you’ve probably also thought that this is one of the first things you want to outsource.
 
But there is an important exception to this “outsource almost everything” rule which I talk about in this short video I made for you (Click Video Below)
 
 
The one thing that you shouldn’t outsource, that you cannot outsource, and still expect to succeed in your business is your marketing!
 
You must be in control of your marketing, and you must spend as much time as possible marketing your business, if you are going to get your message out and give your special gift to the world.
 
In this video I made for you, I share my story of how I discovered my passion for teaching non-techie people like you how to be in control of your website AND your marketing.

Whether you’re an advanced business owner or you’re just ready to explore becoming an entrepreneur, it’s important to find a *supportive community* of like-minded women, who can help you reach your goals–and make the journey a fun one.

That’s why  entrepreneur mentor (and ABC’s “Secret Millionaire”) Ali Brown created SHINE–a powerful three-day conference designed to lead entrepreneurial women through their own reinvention at all levels via an exciting LIVE experience…giving them new ideas, tools, and strategies to propel their businesses and lives to new heights.

And I’ll be speaking at the Shine Event, teaching you how you can use WordPress to build your website and your business! I decided to speak at Shine because I wanted to connect with women business owners at a woman focused event  (it’s so inspiring to be around a whole room of women entrepreneurs!)

Last year, I attended  SHINE and it was a great success with over 500 entrepreneurs attending. This year, SHINE 2011 is slated to be  even bigger , with more how-to content, more levels of training, more excitement, and more networking opportunities. Plus you’ll enjoy inspiration and advice from our keynote speakers and panelists — real-world business owners who have overcome huge odds to build the empires and careers of their dreams. Come join me there.

SHINE 2011 takes place November 2-4, 2011, and with this year’s event in Dallas, Texas, you’ll not only get an intensive 3 days of business-building information sessions, but you’ll also soak in the fun-loving Southern culture (think line dancing and cowboy boots, ladies!)! Plus, this year’s theme for SHINE is RE-INVENTION. So get ready for the inspiration, strategies, tools, networking, and support you need to make those changes you’ve been ready for.

And best of all…you get to bring a guest for FREE!

Are you ready to SHINE? Watch the video, hear from the people that went to the event last year and learn about registration options here now:

Also, let me know that you are coming, and we can meet up together live in person!

Steve Jobs is a man we all  have admired for a long time. And his “Secret to Success” is a philosophy that I believe has contributed to my success online, and it is what I teach my students.

Here is a short 1 minute clip where Steve Jobs shares  his “Secret to Success”,  see if this resonates with you.

Entrepreneurs need to listen to this, because to build a successful online business, you need to be passionate about and love what you are doing.  There will be times when you question yourself, when it gets hard, and when you have setbacks.

So if you don’t love what you do, then it’s not worth it.  And life is short.

Are you doing what you love to do?  If not, why?
