Do You Really Need to Spend Big Bucks to Get the Attention of Search Engines?
Recently someone studying spirituality and money emailed me that she had found us through Google and was so moved by what she found here that she bought our Heart of Money home study course. There are many nice and wonderful things to say here, including how humbled I am when this kind of connection happens. […]
Smoothing Cash Flow When Your Business Is Small or New
Intro: Happy U.S. Thanksgiving This article was actually first published back in June of last year. My family is on vacation, first visiting the birth parents of our adopted twin boys, and then off to my sister’s where our larger family goes every year to celebrate Thanksgiving. In preparing to be out of town for […]
The Role Model Lineup
Dublin, Ohio. Our boys are sleeping peacefully on the hotel room bed after two days of stress. The day before we spent getting ready to leave, which included buying about a million pounds of dry ice to ship with gallons of frozen, home-made baby formula (the goat milk version). Then, all day yesterday flying with […]
An Ode to Diapers: Finding What You’re Truly Passionate About
I opened the diaper, but I already knew it wasn’t going to be pretty. I had just rolled the inside of Sam’s shirt up so that I as I peeled it off him his head would remain cleaner than his bottom. Suffice it to say that the clean-up took a little while, and involved a […]
Revisiting Moses on Teaching
This week the Heart of Business Momentum course began, AND we relaunched the Business Oasis (it was badly in need of a facelift since it’s original launch in 2005). Crazy busy. So I gave myself the mercy of reprinting an article. And it is a good reminder for me, because it’s all about teaching, getting […]
Introductions… and Is It Worth Selling?
We have two newish members on our team. I say “newish” because they have both been around for awhile and I’ve been awkwardly remiss in not introducing them to you sooner. The first is Trisha Cupra, who I’ve known for years, despite our being on opposite sides of the world. If you’ve been around for […]
Monday Heart Stuff #1
It’s Monday. Labor Day. Usually a holiday here in the States, but I spent all last week with my parents visiting the grandkids. They don’t really visit us anymore, but if you have both kids and parents, you already know what I’m talking about. So, I’m working. And, just to make it fun, I thought […]
How a Bigger Small Business Avoids Overwhelm
I have something to confess: Heart of Business is a bigger business. It’s still teeny-weeny compared to the Big Guys. Even an average “small” business, like my family’s business was, does a few million dollars a year. However, when I think about where we were, actually I was, a few years back, that place many […]
When Business Owner and Caretaker Roles Collide
Someone wrote in months ago asking me about this topic, and then, very patiently just wrote in again reminding me that I never really answered. Her question: I wrote you a couple of months ago asking for your thoughts on how to keep a business thriving while simultaneously being a caregiver. (My husband has mid-stage […]
Help My Awesome Professor Friend Amanda
Note: This is a personal request, and not necessarily about Heart of Business. And yet, at the same time, our businesses are deeply woven into the communities from which they are born. Heart of Business rests deeply into the friends, family and community that surround my wife and I. I wanted to use the Heart […]
