The four employees just stood there in horror while my husband looked at what had just happened to our car.
It was as if they were frozen and didn’t know what to do.

This Is Personal
She left home at the age of 16 and worked until illness prevented her from doing so at the age of 70.
Her life was far from easy. She separated from her husband when her daughter was four years old and became the primary breadwinner for the family. She took jobs that paid as well as you could get, but they were usually factory-type work, where you put in long hours with heavy, gruelling physical labour. She was a small woman but she didn’t let that stop her from keeping up with the men and doing her fair share.

Kindness is Always Trendy
A man that lives in our community has won the hearts and minds of every dog and its owner. He has set up an area in his driveway where there is a cooler filled with dog treats. Every dog that walks in the neighbourhood knows that this is their place to stop and get a friendly hello and a snack when they are out walking. It’s also become a fantastic way for this man to get to know all of his neighbours.

11 Strategies to Get Yourself Organized
This past week, I made a huge mistake. I run a business accountability program called DRIVERs that people can join after attending Roadmap. One of the elements included in DRIVERs is a webinar to help people tune up their Roadmap. That webinar was scheduled for this week but there was one small problem. No one knew.
Only a small number of people in our Facebook group saw the post about it and the person on my team who helps to manage this program didn’t know either.

Getting Started or Starting Over
Often business owners start and then, for whatever reason (time, money, lack of clarity or belief in themselves), they stall out. They stop actively marketing and start waiting for customers to show up. Eventually, business starts to dry up instead of expand. If you find yourself feeling this way, you can start again.
If you’ve been considering how to up your game around marketing your business, this is for you.

Amazonageddon: Anticipate Change
When I was in Asheville speaking at the Medipreneur conference, I stood in front of a room full of pharmacy professionals and made a bold prediction. I predicted the Amazonageddon of pharmacy.
I predicted that one day Amazon would be responsible for consumer fulfillment of prescription drugs and painted a picture of going to your doctor, having your prescription uploaded via a mobile app, and then delivered to your home within hours. No more needing to go to your local pharmacy.

Are You a Lion or a Sheep?
Last week, my husband and his business partner opened their taproom for the Annapolis Brewing Company. I spent pretty much Thursday through to end of day Sunday working at the taproom, serving beer, cider and wine, chatting with people and pretty much forgetting about my phone because there was so much going on.
