How to Decide Whether or Not You Should Work From Home
I wouldn’t trade working from home for anything. There’s no dress code, it’s easier to stay focused, and if I want to work late at night I have a three-second commute. But working from home isn’t for everyone.

How to Get the Most Out of Live Seminars
Years ago when my older son came home from his first day of Kindergarten and I asked him what he’d learned, he said, “My brain is full!” After attending a few small business conferences this year, I understand how he felt.
This week I’m speaking at the Today’s Innovative Woman Success Summit and I can’t wait [...]
5 Organizing Products Someone Needs to Invent

4 Organizing Misconceptions You Can Stop Believing Today
I credit my older sister for putting me over the organizing edge. When we were younger and shared a room, her side was a disaster, and mine was obsessively neat (although I’ve mellowed a bit).
Even though my sister is still disorganized — she’s fine with it — she knows it’s possible for anyone to get [...]
5 Ways to Improve Your Voice Mail

How to Jog Your Memory
Some people think I’m extra organized because I always enter notes in my iPhone. The truth is that I have the world’s worst memory. I can remember faces, not names, and directions, not addresses.
Over the years, I’ve taken a few steps to try to improve my memory or at least fake that I have a [...]
Is Telecommuting Right For You?
When you think about working from home, do you picture a small business owner, or a corporate employee?
Some people forget that not everyone who works from home is an entrepreneur. Along with those of us who work for ourselves, corporate sales reps and other corporate employees work from home full-time, too.

How to Get Past Gatekeepers
When I worked in a corporate office — I’ve tried to block out that part of my life — a vendor called my office and thought I was the receptionist. He was rude, condescending and had no trouble showing his true colors.
