About a year ago, I was approached to be a speaker in a telesummit. Part of my responsibilities as a speaker was to provide a package of products for interested participants to purchase. Exciting opportunity – however, I didn’t have any products. I didn’t want to pass this up, however, I had no idea what to do next! Luckily for me, a colleague [...]
The Ultimate Blog Challenge starts again today – 30 posts in 30 days. I participated for the first time in July – and planned to participate each quarter.

What you think about, you bring about! I've heard this saying for much of my life, but just recently have I started to really concentrate on positive thinking. Specifically, I've been doing some internal work around asking for (and expecting to receive) what I want.
