I’m Stuck On A Deserted Island, Where’s My Coffee Cup?

Random Chats

I've been exiled to a private island, with glorious animals, crystal clear blue water, and pink sandy beaches. Now what am I supposed to eat? Well, that's the question posed to me, courtesy of today's Just Blog It challenge. So, the five foods I must have on a deserted island are as follows: Cherries. Fresh cherries. Yummmm. Jasmine green tea already sweetened with natural sugar. Hot or cold, this is my favorite tea. I can't live without my tea. Coffee with extra cream and sugar - just in case you wanna bring me a cup of coffee, now you know how I drink it! I've been drinking it all my life, exile will not make me stop. Avocados. I've been on an avocado kick for several months now and it doesn't seem…

Why Two Overachievers Launched Just Blog It

Events

Why did we create Just Blog It? Because we're overachievers! I'm supposed to be writing about why I joined the Just Blog It Challenge as today's writing prompt. However, since I'm a co-host/creator of Just Blog It, I'll explain why we created this ambitious challenge in the first place and how we're doing so far. The Story Behind Just Blog It As the saying goes, brilliant minds think alike! I guess that means me and my Just Blog It co-host Brandi Starr are pretty brilliant. Unbeknownst to us, we had both been thinking about creating a blog challenge for a while but just never got around to it. Enter us attending the same conference a few months ago, with no idea the other was going to be in the room. We get to talking, sharing some…

I Like Myself and I Cannot Hide It

Random Chats

Today is Toot Your Horn Day at Just Blog It! We threw in this writing prompt for a specific reason: Most of us are excellent at being too critical of ourselves and are not so good at the opposite. Therefore, we challenged bloggers to share a favorite thing they like about themselves. Now me personally, I give myself kudos and hi-fives daily like I'm on a basketball court. So I had to pick just one thing, hmmm... where do I begin. I guess one of my favorite things I love about myself is my ability to be a straight shooter and tell it like it is. I don’t do fluff and I am not a hype man (hip hop fans know what I mean). One of the phrases most prospective clients hear from me: "I don't do fluff-n-stuff." I…

5 Lessons Every Entrepreneur Can Learn From Shark Tank

Marketing Strategy

The television show Shark Tank has become something of a phenomenon, especially with the entrepreneurial set. So as I was trying to think of a pop culture situation and lessons we can learn for today's post, I knew this would be a good one related to small business owners. What is Shark Tank? Shark Tank is a business-themed show in which business tycoons, the ‘Sharks,’ hear pitches from entrepreneurs, with the goal of investing in the best businesses and products. The Sharks are tough, self-made, multi-millionaire and billionaire tycoons that give budding entrepreneurs the chance to make their dreams come true and potentially secure business deals that could make them millionaires. It amazes me how many people make it through the multiple pre-qualification rounds to actually make it to the…

One Reason Why I Love Using Facebook

Social Media

We hear so many people gripe and complain about Facebook, that this post is kind of nice to write. I’ll be the first to admit that Facebook is not where I hang my hat. However, the one thing I absolutely love about Facebook is that I get to keep up with my friends. Friends that I have known since high school, friends I have made over my adult years, and friends I have made over social media. Many of my never-met-in-person social media friends are people that I talk to every day! I also don't have the time, money or energy to gallivant around the globe to see all my friends. Facebook solves this problem for me in one neat package. I love that I have somewhere to share my…
