OK, so a lot of people like the McCain/Palin mix for different reasons. Many women are just politically intoxicated with the idea of (potentially) having a female in power in the White House.

A few weeks ago, a business friend of mine decided that she would give homeschooling a shot IN ADDITION to her home-based business of web designing and graphics illustration. Seems that little Johnny is having some trouble in school and needs more “focused attention” so my friend decided she’s the only one who can do that. Really? Anyway, she asked me what I thought about it, and you know me…
I tried homeschooling ONCE about seven years ago when my then oldest child was in preschool and my husband got this **bright** idea that it would be neat to have homeschooled …read more

Ideas are a dime a dozen right? Maybe not. Maybe they’re $10,000 for one.
Ideablob has a monthly contest each, well, month to see who can submit the BEST business idea ever. The winner wins $10K and all bragging rights. What would you do with your winnings if you had that kind of money?
Me? I’d dump the whole thing into a marketing campaign for my business(es) and reap the rewards. But of course, in order to win, I’d have to come up with a novel business idea. The devil is in the details, isn’t he?

Tonight’s speech by Michelle Obama will be a defining moment for Obama’s campaign. It will be a time when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s campaign will be further defined – – by Michelle, the woman who has been often herself been branded as being “deflating” and “humiliating” to Barack by referring to him as a “regular man.”

What to watch for tonight: Things could start off with a bang. Tonight’s primetime speaker is Michelle Obama, who will be tasked …read more

As work-at-home moms, we work multiple jobs in addition to being busy moms. On any given day, you can probably name five “jobs” that you do in the course of that day.
Here is a cute article that I found written by a stay-at/work-at-home mom who “manipulated” her resume. What can you add to the list?

A while back, I interviewed Kelly, our Business Channel Editor here at b5media and one of the questions that I asked her in the interview was, “Who was/is your business mentor?” Surprisingly, Kelly said she didn’t have one, had never had one and probably wouldn’t be getting one soon. I don’t think she hates mentors, I just think she simply does not have a need for one. A lot of business women are like that.
I, for one, do not, did not and have not ever had a mentor. And believe me, there were times when I did want one, …read more
