Love It: The Modern Girl’s Guide to Sticky Situations

Have you ever noticed that with age or parental status people automatically assume you know exactly what to do all the time. Even though I’m older and I’ve got mommy status, I’ve had my share of ‘don’t know what to do’ moments. Truth be told, a lot of times I wish I had someone around me who always knew the right thing to do or say, which is why I think the “The Modern Girl’s Guide to Sticky Situations” by Jane Buckingham is definitely worth checking out.

I’ll be honest with you, when I first glanced at the cover of this book I didn’t think it would have anything in it that I could relate to. There’s a picture of this sassy diva on the cover in a tight black dress, along with high heels and girly clichés that aren’t really me. But I opened the book to a random page and was pleasantly surprised when I glanced at one topic, ‘You really want to buy a house, but don’t know if you can afford it.’ I kept flipping through pages to find other topics like:

• Your food is so bland it could be served in a hospital.
• You’ve sprouted hairs in very unfeminine places: lip, chin, neck…
• Your bra wire is popping out and stabbing your boob
• Your boss keeps passing your over for promotions
• A colleague always takes credit for your work
• You feel you’re always super-generous to everyone, while no one is generous to you
• Your boyfriend and your best friend don’t get along

And that’s just a small sampling of over 300 pages of real life situations that we all get into and have no clue how to get out of. Sometimes you don’t have someone to help you figure out what to do in sticky situations. Then there are times when you wish you could get alittle guidance without a lot of lip from your mom or your favorite (know-it-all) gal pal, which is when this book definitely comes in handy.

I have to say, you should never just a book by its cover! Jane’s new guide is funny, informative, full of situations I can relate to, and definitely worth keeping handy (as you never know when you’ll get into a sticky situation).

Marketing for Mompreneurs and Everyone Else

My NY trip has been interesting to say the least. In between the high pollen (which makes my eyes look all puffy) and the hustle bustle I have to say the best part of being a mompreneur is being a mom! Above is a quick pic of me and Chris at Central Park Zoo. While my trip isn’t going as well as I expected, I take pleasure in being able to have fun with Chris.

On another note, today I’ve been working on a few mini projects for my fellow mompreneurs.

1. I decided to bring back the Black Business Starter Kit Promo and make it even better. Between now and May 9th, Mother’s Day, you can grab my 15+ marketing eBooks, videos, and coaching for $79. Promo code: 4MOM. Click here to download.

2. I am looking for 30 mompreneurs to feature on Black Business Women Online through out the month of of May. Click here to submit yourself.

3. If you have a Mother’s Day sale that you would like to share with the BBWO Community, click here.

Are you at 8,000 yet?

A few hours ago I was approving the newest members on my social network, Black Business Women Online, and I realized we have officially reached the 8,037 members! I can remember when there were no members, when there were a handful of members and now look where we are. Where are you today? Have you reached your 8,000 …. sales goal, dollar goal, subscribers goal, traffic goal? I just wanted you to take a moment and think about the goals you have set for yourself and how far you have come. My magic numbers for pretty much everything I do are 5,000 and 10,000. In some cases I know I’ve passed my goals and for others, I’ve got a ways to go but I’m gonna keep going and so should you!

You may or may not know this, but I’ve gotten this far pretty much on my own, without any real investment capital, sponsors, or direction. I say all that to say that, not having things never stopped me from creating things and getting this far. I’ve learned so much about stepping out on faith and starting up online and I hope over these past years I’ve been able to share my knowledge with you. If you want to pick my brain and find out how I built my social following, my buzz, and my business online go grab my Money and Marketing Guide. I’m so excited about reaching 8,000 and helping you reach your goal I’ve created a new promo code for this guide. It is UMM50OFF. This code will give the first 50 who use it 50$ off the guide.

I never thought BBWO could get to 8,000+ members without outside help. I never knew I was going to get quoted in Essence or become a Disney Magical Mocha Mom … I just knew if I kept learning, growing, and going … everything would work out. If nothing else, I hope that’s something I can help you learn as well.

Money and Marketing Guide includes eBooks and Videos on Selling on Social Networks, Finding Customers, Social Media Marketing, and building your buzz online. url: http://ecourses.webtechgurl.com

audio: Find Out Why Broke is Not an Option … my interview on the Attitude Shift

I’m not really into doing shows and interviews, but sometimes it just feels right. Last night was one of those moments, as I couldn’t wait to get on ‘The Attitude Shift’ show with Siobhan and Donna, amazing women and creators of The Broke Wives Club. They have dedicated their lives to working with women who at some time in their life have felt broke … financially, emotionally, or spiritually.

I always like to share my interviews with you, so click the link below to listen in. For the most part I’m about giving you information, but I always want to inspire and motivate you to keep going especially when you think you can’t. Enjoy the audio and definitely visit The Broke Wives Club.

Wonderful words of wisdom I discovered on The Broke Wives Club blog: The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.
