My former co-worker (let’s call her “Ruth”) always saw the negative in everything. When an idea was presented, she was the first one to say, “That won’t work.” Fair enough. But she never offered alternatives. She never looked for solutions. She never, ever gave anything or anyone the benefit of the doubt. Ruth was an absolute nightmare to work with.

A few years ago in late winter, I purchased a bunch of pussy willow stems at Costco. I took them home and plunked them into a large vase and added water. Because life was busy, I completely forgot about the stems. They were unseen ignored and neglected on a table in the dark entry while the kaleidoscope of life swirled around them. A few weeks went by.

One of the biggest problems my clients tell me they have is getting more clients – or even getting their first client. And I’m not talking about the number of new subscribers to your list, or the number of customers you can get to purchase your product or home-study program, but the clients that you work with one-on-one.

More and more small businesses are setting up their Web headquarters on Facebook instead of a traditional website. This has several benefits over a typical small business website. For one, a Facebook page is free. It also provides an instant connection to potential customers in a way that standard websites don’t. You don’t need to hire a professional to design a Facebook page, and you don’t need to pay someone to optimize it for search engines.
