Halloween was so much fun this year! Chloe was so excited about getting dressed up and joining the throngs of trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood to collect candy and other treats. She got many compliments on her sock-hop costume and pigtails – and her little brother got quite a bit of attention as well for his first foray into the neighborhood… 🙂

I don’t know about you, but I start thinking about tax season right about this time of year, mainly because I want to make certain that I save as much on my taxes as possible, and I know if I leave it to the last minute, I might not be taking advantage of all the deductions alloted to me as a small business owner with a home office.
Luckily, my Coaching Cafe member, Kristine McKinley, who is a professional CPA and Certified Financial Planner®, is offering a Free Teleminar this Friday, where she will share with you what you need to know and do now to save big when it comes time to file your taxes in just a few months.

One of our first outings as a family of four was spending a glorious fall morning at one of our local farms, going on a hayride, visiting a petting zoo, picking pumpkins, and finding our way through a hay and corn maze… Chloe looks cute as always – not sure Jack will be too excited with the pumpkin hat when he’s older, though! 😉
One question I get asked a lot is how I’m able to run a successful business while raising now two small children.
One of my ‘tricks’ has been to use what I call a ‘Priority Card’ that helps me stay focused (see article below), which has been working quite well for me and for a number of my clients as well.
Well, recently my colleague Laura Howard West released her Joyful Business Guide, which includes what she calls Daily Giggle Goals cards. Much to my joy, she also offers the cards for purchase separate from her system, and because I could immediately see how they would take my ‘priority card’ strategy to a whole new level, I immediately bought a pack.
First, they are lovely to look at and write on (much better than my boring index cards). They are double-sided, so you get to use each card twice (there’s abundance for you). And they not only give me a place to hold my priorities for the day, but they also give me a place to list the things I’m willing to hand over to the Universe. That’s the really fun part about Laura’s cards – I get a kick out of thinking about what I’d like help with from the Universe and then watching to see what happens. I know that as I make this a daily habit, there are going to be some major shifts in my business and my life. I’ll keep you posted!

How often do you find yourself in this scenario?
It’s Monday morning and you’re all geared up for a productive week ahead. You’ve got your to-do list (massive as it is) at the ready and you sit down at your desk to start checking things off.
As you know, we welcomed a beautiful baby boy into our family just a few weeks ago…
And with his due date looming (and a mother’s intuition that he wasn’t going to wait much longer to make his entrance into the world) it was literally the day before he did when I wrapped up my much-anticipated BRAND-NEW product and sent it off to the printer.
And now it’s FINALLY here… with a limited-time special price to celebrate these two births!
Do come by to see what I’ve created just for you…
Cheers,
