Thanks, Mark. Maybe another time. Or maybe you know someone else who could benefit from the class:-)
As far as the monthly luncheons, the biggest draw back for me is not knowing the speakers far enough in advance. I made a decision in 2008 to not attend meetings just to attend meetings. This is true for all of the networking/business groups I bel...
Thanks, Angel!

The Secret to Having Time
How many times have you heard someone say, “I never have enough time!”? Maybe you have even said it yourself, I hate to break the news to you, we all have the same amount of time: 24 hours in a day which means 168 hours per week. There is nothing that anyone can do to change it. For some people that is the bad news. There is good news, however. You are in charge of your time. Now I can already hear some of you arguing that isn’t true because the boss claims a lot of your time, family or friends… Continue

Organize Your Travel
Summer is the time to travel! To decrease stress when preparing to travel, consider the following hints:
• Generate a packing checklist. You can generate one list for the entire family, or individual checklists for each family member. The list should be generic enough for any trip. It should also have space to note any special items that need to be added for a specific trip.
• Make each family member responsible for at least part of their packing. Young children can pick out the necessary pairs… Continue

Save Money by Organizing Lower Bills
Save some money through organizing lower bills!
• Check the Kelley Blue Book value of your car. You may be able to lower your car insurance or vehicle taxes if you have high mileage.
• Organize items that are used on a regular basis so that you don’t buy duplicates: Batteries can be stored by type in specific battery holders which can hang on a wall and light bulbs can be housed in bins by wattage.

Overwhelmed by your email inbox?
Here are some ideas worth exploring:
• Can you rename e-mails that have been sent to you? If so, rename any e-mail that has a subject line that doesn’t tell you something about the content of the e-mail.
• Can you set up filters? If so, consider filtering e-mails from certain sources into specific folders. You may already be doing this for spam. It can be done for other e-mail as well. For example, electronic newsletters can go directly to a Newsletter folder. You can read them during a low ener… Continue

Ina Stanley said… - Hi Janice! Thanks for the comment. I realize that our upcoming video marketing workshop is part 2, but that doesn't mean you'll have a hard time with anything. We'll be recapping and introducing some new aspects of video marketing, so it should be fine. If you'd like to know what we covered in part 1, feel free to watch the video on my page here on inside919! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
