Great Quote of the Week: “Creating Opportunities”
I read this the other day and thought it would be something nifty to share with my friends*. Enjoy!
“If you want to succeed in this world, you must make your own opportunities as you go along. The one who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time coming.
You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the road side until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.”
- John B. Gough (1817-1866) British-born American philosopher

Inspiration of the Week:
Some people believe that paradise is a state of having all you desire… when actually, it is a state of desiring even more, knowing that it is near, and having the determination to reach out and grab it!
…you know, kind of like a big bag of Skittles! : )

Marketing Tip of the Week: When it comes to Social Media, Participate, Don’t Push!
When marketing on social media platforms, always keep in mind the 80/20 rule. You should spend 80% of your time sharing, answering questions and interacting with others and only 20% of your time promoting your small business. Stick to this rule and you’ll be seen as a true professional, not a pushy sales-person.

Cartoon of the Week:
We know it makes you happy, but your father and I think you're spending too much time on the computer.
Testimonials
“I interviewed Carmen on my "Live Line" talk show and she was a great guest! But aside from being a great guest, she has also spent time helping me outline the best way to move forward in publishing, and helping my career along as a movie critic. She pointed me in the right direction for contacts, and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to publicity.”
