Back in 2004 while I was working a full time job (and making my plan to escape the office and enter Entrepreneurship,) I would try to educate myself as much as possible. This included listening to audio about marketing, building a business and coaching, of course. I would listen to it while I worked. In the technology industry it is normal to listen to music while you worked. Background noise helped us focus!
Anyhow, I don’t even know how I stumbled upon it, but I found The Coaching Show and I was hooked! I would listen every week and listen to the archives as well. I fully enjoyed all the valuable information I learned and implemented through the show.
I loved the show so much I thought to myself, “I sure hope one day I get to be interviewed on The Coaching Show“. Well, tomorrow is my day!
Last week I was asked by the producer to be on the show and I grabbed the very first spot available! So please join me at 11am eastern October 14th 2009, or listen to the audio in the archives after the show.
I will be talking about WordPress blogsites, how marketing is different in 2009, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and virtual conferences!
“see” you there!

This past weekend we took my husband’s parents to see the construction of our new house. When we were leaving I thought about taking my Flip video camera but I remembered that I had not charged the batteries and so I couldn’t bring it with me. When we got to our destination, my in-laws were shocked at how much of the house had been built already. In the corner of my eye I saw my Father-in-law take a picture with his camera, or so I thought. It wasn’t a camera in his hands, it was the new Flip video camera that I picked up for him! 
A month ago, I brought my Flip video cameras (yes, I have 2 of them), to a family golfing event. My Father-in-law who loves technology but admits he has no idea how to use a computer, fell in love with my Flip camera. He asked me how it worked, what buttons to press and how much it was. He was sold and so was my sister-in-law. Both of them now own Flips and why? They told me it’s because they are small, don’t have a lot of buttons and they are very simple to use.
My sister-in-law easily captures funny moments of her daughters in a flash (pun intended). While my Father-in-law has a new toy that he will use like crazy while on vacation in a few weeks, along with his awesome digital camera.

I’m a firm believer of not dropping your rates for any reason. You devalue your work when you do that and you are not being fair to clients who are paying your full rates! In “these economic times” more and more people have been dropping their rates with the hope to attract more clients, and the result is ungrateful clients, recentful entrepreneurs and more frustration. Luckily my friend Hannah McNamara is here to help! She’s offering a free tele-seminar July 9th called “How to increase your fees and still get
MORE clients“.
Hannah is an expert in marketing, coaching and money making. She’s an absolute pleasure to hear and learn from, but don’t take my word for it, go to her site and sign up for her tele-seminar “How to increase your fees and still get MORE clients“.

My good friend and masterminder buddy Jennifer Koretsky was on the Today Show last weekend! She’s a successful AD/HD Coach who is the founder of www.AddManagement.com and author of Odd One Out! You have to watch this video for a few reasons:
- Jen speaks with authority and ease. She’d be a fabulous keynote speaker!
- Check out the fabulous work the Today Show does in promoting a guests book (I will admit it, I drooled)
- At the end of the video the host messes up a little which is why this video became viral and you’ll know why when you hear it!

I was shopping for a new contour pillow last night when I found something that is a cross between a pillow and an iPod! It’s called the “Sound Asleep” pillow.
I began to immediately think about how I could listen to podcasts and all the teleclasses that I have on mp3. I also thought about listening to my favourite 80s tunes while lying in bed. Somehow this didn’t sound ideal for lying in bed. When I hear 80s music I start to sing and dance!
My husband, who is not as techie as I am, interrupted my thoughts with a smart way to make use of the “Sound Asleep” pillow. He said “Oh! It’s probably for listening therapeutic sounds to help you fall asleep.” “Oh, you mean like ocean waves or birds chirping in the amazon!…That’s not what I was thinking!”, I replied.
So do I have a problem relaxing or do I just associate the iPod with podcasts, teleclasses and danceable music only? What would you use the “Sound Asleep” pillow for?

Yesterday two families were challenged by Oprah. The challenge was to go one week without spending money, take only one trip to the grocery store, take-out was not allowed, eat dinner as a family each day, no over time and no technology! *gasp*
I’m totally cool with the whole challenge and I could do it, but we’d have to remove the “no technology” piece! I couldn’t go tech-less for a full week! I could do it if I was on vacation and I’ve done that before. When I was in Africa I vowed I would not touch a computer and I didn’t. I went computer-less for a whole month! You might think that is easy, but there were more internet cafes in southern Africa then you would imagine.
But Oprah’s challenge meant that both families were stripped of their TVs, video games, mobile phones, laptops, stereos, satellites and their home phones! Once Oprah’s producer cleaned out their homes, one of the teenager’s sarcastic reaction was “What do I do now? Read a book?”
Could you go Tech-Less? If so, what would you do with your time?
