Chasing Your Dreams With A New Focus

Chasing Your Dreams With A New Focus   By: Sandi Krakowski My body hurt. I'd done my time, the body fat was below 4% and the workouts had paid off. No carbs had entered my body for more than 10 days and the lack of water had created the final 'sharp edge' I needed. Walking on stage that day, in the Mount Pleasant Body Building Championship, I knew that my dreams had come true. Overcoming every mind game and trick, forcing my body beyond it's own emotions and feelings, it had obeyed and gone beyond all of my expectations. My tan, lean and ripped body became my trophy and I'd earn a huge one at the end of the day. Ribbons placed around my neck for the best arms, most ripped abs and biggest [...]

Why You Don’t Want To Be On The First Page Of Google

Why You Don't Want To Be On The First Page Of Google    When you build a business online the most important thing you should be doing every single day is building your list.

The Legal Side Of Writing (AND Teaching) For Your BusinessBy: Sandi Krakowski When I began my first business it was important to understand trademarked names, phrases and logos. We had over 400 kitchenware products we were drop shipping and while most vendors and dealers gave us unlimited permission to use the graphics and images in our online and printed catalog, some required that we only use 2-3 images at the most.

Limited use is the phrase for only permitting someone to use images and descriptions in a limited way.  Many times I used the phrase, "The Art Of Bread Rising" in my marketing and was advised several times to have this trademarked or copyrighted.

Sometimes You Just Gotta Do The Next Thing

Sometimes You Just Gotta Do The Next Thing! Are you stuck today? Feel like the wind got sucked out of your sails?  Life happens, computers crash, projects get ruined on the hard drive and if you're a business owner, you might believe you just aren’t ‘cut out’ to do this sort of thing. My advise is just get unstuck and do the next thing. When you’re faced with a life threatening situation you don’t weigh the odds to see whether or not you’d ‘like’ to live, do you? Is there an option? The same holds true for business. Especially when you feel you're called & designed with the purpose of business in your life. Life was never created to be easy, but it was designed to be lived fully. Entering our 20th year of business, [...]
