I’ve wanted to start a membership community for years! I’ve talked about it, thought about it, dreamed about it… and I’m so excited to tell you it is finally happening! In the movie industry, when they can’t get part of it off the ground, they call it “stuck in production hell.” Exhibit A, National Treasure…
There have been so many great comments on the blog lately, our team wanted to share a couple we thought might be helpful to expand on a little—and we wanted to use this opportunity to tell you about our November comment contest! Every time you comment on a blog post we publish in November, you’ll…
Last month, we brought you a couple of comment contests, hidden in our newsletter for subscribers! Always on the hunt for new ways to engage with you, dear readers, this month we’re doing a comment contest for the entire month! The instructions are simple, but the goodies are grand.

I bet some of you have already created a lists to make your Black Friday, Small Biz Saturday, and Cyber Monday shopping a breeze. I’m jealous (and proud!) of you, just saying. Every year, my goal is to plan out gifts for my family, only to get distracted by the “pretty thing of the day”…
Last week, we talked about managing your to-do list. In that post, I mentioned time blocking. This week, I wanted to share more about time blocking: why it’s helpful and how it can be a powerful tool for organizing and taking control of your day. Why should we time-block? We all know time is a…
