Housekeeping, That’s What It’s About this Week
Did you ever feel trapped by inside chores as a kid? The sun was out, birds a flittin’, your bike screaming to be let out of the garage?
“You’ve got to vacuum and clean the bathroom before you can go out and play.” Ugh! I have to say, being a tomboy from a family of all girls, I got to mow the lawn, sweep the driveway, and rack leaves often. Anything to get outside…
Well that’s sort of what if feels like today as I sit at my computer, my back to the window framing bright blue sky, rocking tree branches with swelling buds . . .
So I’ll give you the skinny around hear before I bolt:
- We’ve got a new interview to share with you. Mark recently had an enlightening conversation with David Billings, Mr. Sparky Firepants about “Working with a Designer.” Get some of your nagging questions answered like, when do you use a designer?, how do you make sure they come through with your vision?, how do you make the most of your investment?
- The Frequently Asked Questions page is finally filled with a load of questions and answers. Check it out. Let me know what I’ve missed, what helps, and what needs help. 🙂
- This week keep an eye out for the Oasis and Heart of Business calendars to help you stay up on our latest offerings and adventures. You’ll find links for the latest listings in the sidebar and a link to the full page calendar so that you can peruse through time.And if you’re in the Opening the Moneyflow (OMF) course, you’ll find access to a class calendar on the OMF pages.
- Profile Photos . . . please, please, please, if you haven’t yet, get one up so that we can see you. So that we can decrease the number of anonymous silhouettes roaming around. There is a tutorial you can use. You can also ask for help from Judy, Jason, Yollana, or I. Throw up a post or email us directly at Ka**@*************ss.com, Ju**@*************ss.com, Ja***@*************ss.com, or Yo*****@*************ss.com. We are all on a mission!
