Susan Baroncini-Moe Starting A Business in A Challenging Economic Climate, Part One (Why Now?)

My recent LifeHack.org post, published April 10:

Starting a business during a recession seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? If the economy isn’t doing well and people aren’t spending money, doesn’t that mean a new business is likely to fail? Actually, the answer may surprise you. Fear… Continue

Susan Baroncini-Moe Want More Business? Take Off Your Headphones At The Gym!

I’m almost always thinking about business, so it’s no surprise that when I’m working out at the gym, business is on my mind. Recently, I had a revelation at the gym. I often work out with headphones. I listen to power music and that helps me stay focused and I can endure more than if I don’t have them on. But with those headphones on, I never, ever meet people. My gym is a social place. And although each gym probably has its own dynamic and subculture, I suspect most gyms are just as friendly.… Continue

In addition to the three of us, this year’s trip added Kurt’s youngest sister, Juli; her significant other, Stephen; two of their friends; and a friend of Mom’s. This friend, Kathy, had never been kayaking before, so she appeared both apprehensive and excited all at the same time. I now often wonder if this was her first and last trip! Our rive… Continue

Lisa Sirkin Vielee The Blue Folder

In the age of social networking, we are more connected now than ever. We have more opportunity to learn about, know about and share with our friends and colleagues. We also have more chances to vent and complain about those things we don't like. Maybe I've read too many rants lately, but sometimes I think we have forgotten the importance of recognizing and thanking others for their contributions and good works. I am fortunate to have a mentor who taught me the importance of giving - and saving… Continue
