What Cooking and Business Have in Common
Tweet When you first begin to learn to cook you learned from other people. You may have learned to cook from someone in your family, or you may have learned how to cook by following the recipes and instructions from a cookbook. Some people learned by watching television cooking shows, reading blogs and watching videos…
A New Business Partner
Tweet I’ve often thought about having a business partner, someone I could share the ups and downs of growing a business with, someone to explore new ideas with and someone who totally ‘got’ me and accepted me – the awesome, the good, the bad and the ugly. Several times in the past I thought I…
3 Ways to Find the Support You Need for You and Your Business

Tweet Time and again I hear from friends and clients, “I want to start my own business, but the economy is just so bad right now I think I should just stay where I’m at and keep doing what I’m doing.” Their voices are usually tinged with sadness and resignation. Their words and their feelings…

Small Business Saturday
Tweet I try to support small businesses locally as often as I can. When I’m in the mood for an everything bagel, Olivia’s Bagels are the best. Coffee? Casa de Coffee outshines Starbucks every time. Local, family owned restaurants, especially Italian food, are my favorites. Family owned, local bakery’s also top my favorite, small business…
One Year Later and I Don’t Want to Ever Go Back
Tweet On November 4, 2009 I headed out the door at 6:45am for my very last day as an employee. I thought it would be a day of well-wishes and thank you’s, but it didn’t quite turn out that way. There were no parties, “no good luck, thank you for twelve years of dedicated service”…
