Go Ahead — Make a Mess!

I have been somewhat of a perfectionist for years, but I'm getting better. That is, I'm getting better at eliminating that need to be perfect.  I'll let you know when I perfect it! :)  Instead of constantly looking at how I can optimize everything, I have found more and more that imperfection leads to wonderful things. In fact, my latest challenge has been to look at everything that happens in my life and find a way to make it perfect. It's perfect because I learned something that I needed to learn, or it's perfect because it gave me an opportunity I wouldn't have had. It can be quite a game. My wise mother, whom many of you know through past postings, shared this very wise writing with me by Anne Lemott entitled "Make a Mess, Discover Your Life"...

"Remove those 'I want you to like me' stickers from your forehead and, instead,
place them where they truly will do the most good — on your mirror!"

Two Free Social Media Classes Coming!

Linked In and Twitter/Hootsuite

Due to popular demand, I am again holding several free classes for LinkedIn and adding new classes covering Twitter/Hootsuite (coming soon!). These classes will also be recorded and shared with participants if the times are inconvenient. These are great ways to learn how to make the most of these tools no matter what your career, job, position or business. Click on the linked title above for more information.

"People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you've figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence."
