Re: Kelly’s {Stretch YOURSELF} Challenge: Will you accept it?

Whew! I have been working all day on my website and I am stretched so far I don't know if I'll ever go back to normal. :) I have covered all the points down to writing the articles so now it's time to rest a bit and then get the creative juices flowing. Thanks Kelly for this awesome challenge. :)

OK, here is my "About Me" page where I have my mission and three value points. If anyone would like to give me feedback, I sure would appreciate it. I'm still working on the rest of the website though. http://coachnikkib.com/about/

I have my "About" page nearly ready with the mission statement and points I want to be known for. I am still dotting i's and crossing t's but plan to post it here tomorrow. Thank you Kelly for getting me off my tail end. :)

Re: Two Steps to Help you Stay Focused as a WAHM

Nikki Brown — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:12:46 -0000

One of my favorite tips about time management is this. "Go to bed as the boss and wake up as the employee." In other words, it really helps me to spend a few minutes at the end of each evening figuring out what the following day is going to bring. I then try to make preparations as best I can for the next day so that I can wake up and get right to work without having to think about what I have to do that day. Now, this doesn't always happen like clockwork but when I stick to that idea, it really makes a difference in my productivity level. Best wishes with your blog tour Aurelia!

Re: Step Back From Confusion Until You Reach Clarity

Hi Kelly. You are spying on me right? :) I have been very guilty of this in the past but have managed to get off my duff more lately thanks to Blogging internship.

Sometimes it really helps just to have someone you trust come alongside and point you in the right direction when getting started. Trying to start internet marketing (or anything else for that matter) on your own can be very intimidating. I don't think people intend to get bogged down in details but with all the (sometimes conflicting) information flying at you, it is hard to know in which direction to step out and take that initial action.

Just making a decision and following one plan of action long enough to get results is probably one of the most challenging things to be done. I saw a little acronym once which is very applicable here. Follow one course until successful - FOCUS. :)

Happy Thanksgiving

We made something similar to that Nutty Butter Playdough years ago and it was really yummy. :) I guess that's not the point but oh well. :)

Thanks Mimi. I thought it was cute.

Re: Some REALLY Interesting Stats of iPhone Users

Nikki Brown — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:26:38 -0000

I don't know. I do think the way the iphone has been marketed may have possibly attracted the types of buyers who would be more egocentric and prideful about their gadgets. I always take any stats with a grain of salt however.

Re: Social Media Training Course Beta Testers Needed

Nikki Brown — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:57:01 -0000

Time management is the key frustration for me. We run a small famiy business and there are only so many hours in the day in which to serve our clients as well as take care of other necessary tasks like marketing. I have only recently started learning about social media and can definitely see how it could help our business, but I definitely need a strategy to make the time I spend doing it more efficient and productive. Also. I see so many businesses using social media sites for advertising rather than being social. I don't know if I am thinking about it right but it seems to me that social marketing should indeed be "social". I'd love to hear what you have to say about that.

Re: I’m Moving Into Office Space? Say It Isn’t So!

Nikki Brown — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:13:48 -0000

Oh wow Kelly. Congratulations! I know this is a lot all at once but it sounds like you have really thought it out and made the best choice for this phase of your life. Best wishes to both you and Sean. I love working at home but I also have an office behind our home and I really prefer that space sometimes too. There are really advantages and disadvantages to both. Wishing you an easy move and lots of blessings on your new endeavors.

Re: YouTwitFace Integration in Education

Nikki Brown — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:37:58 -0000

I agree with you. I think that within ten to fifteen years, we will see a dramatic incline towards using online education in both private and public schools. It is already a very different world than what I grew up in and I'm not even 40 yet. :)

Re: An Online Family Genealogy

Very cool Mimi. I have always wanted to get more involved with studying family genealogy but it will have to go on the "to do" list for now. :)

Hey Mimi! I was just looking for something like this. I appreciate you sharing about the online test.

Re: What Sort Of Coach Do You Need Today?

Nikki Brown — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:12:20 -0000

I definitely agree. I remember once when a very encouraging mentor of mine suddenly showed her firm side and flat out told me I was being negative about something. I was shocked. I never would have seen it that way if someone hadn't pointed it out to me. We do need mentors who can show us the error of our ways as well as those who just love and encourage us for our efforts. Sometimes, this can be one and the same person.

Hi Mimi! I'm goad y'all are doing all right. We are still battling some of this cold stuff going around.

Re: Thankful Thursday: What is Your One Thing?

Nikki Brown — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:17:08 -0000

Oh, me too. Stories like that poor little girl's really do remind us to hold our kids close and tell them we love them.
