Keeping up with yourself

Yesterday, on our 7th (…wow, where has the time gone…!) small business podcast, my co-host Marie Segares and I, talked about the destructive lure of comparing yourself to…well, anyone but yourself.

Get in loser, we’re starting a small business!

Yesterday,  my friend/partner Marie Segares and I survived another day without killing each other recorded our March 2015 Women’s History Month-inspired No Frills Small Business podcast…and I think it was our best one so far! (Not just because at one point I played the Odd Couple theme for Marie and she didn’t deck me.) Given that it was…

No frills, all (small) business

On March 30, 2015 at 1:00pm ET, I’ll be co-hosting, with my occasional nemesis/partner-in-crime/dear friend Marie Segares, the March segment of our “No Frills Small Business” podcast.  Here’s a teaser for what we’ll be kvetching talking about: small business advice; how and why our respective small businesses saved and re-built our lives; our hard-worn life lessons and…
