Prior to starting my Online Business Management company, I owned a Professional Organizing Service, called Completely Organized. I have always had a knack for sorting, stacking, and putting like things together, so it came quite easy for me to share my natural gifts with others through a business.

What would my Mother think? She’d think, good for you!
Gone are the days of pantyhose, high heeled pumps and cranky bosses. (Well at least for me!) I’m a home-based business owner and I can work in my bathrobe and slippers if I chose. Who’s going to see me, the dog? The [...]

At the end of 2008, I had an opportunity to read many blog posts from Internet experts making their predictions for 2009 and guess what was at the top of their list: Social Media Marketing.

As a small (and I mean small) child, I remember the party-line. We actually had to [...]

Today was so much fun. I had lunch at an incredible place with some of my closest and dearest friends. We all used to work together for a national non-profit organization and have kept in touch for the last five years as we have all went our separate ways.
