With the first half of 2020 spent in lockdown, many people are turning to the Internet to learn new skills and create a new income source. Could blogging become your SUPERPOWER?

We all have skills and life experiences, and a great way to fulfil your work ambitions is to do something you love, whilst reaping the rewards from the powers of the Internet to create the dream life you deserve. Your blog should be something that interests you, so your writing matches your passion. A lack of passion for a subject will show in your work. But knowing what to write and how to publicise it may seem daunting.

There are many ways to create an income from blogging, but in my opinion, the best way to use your blog is to create content you love and design an online course!

Over the last few years, online courses have increased significantly. E-learn…

I don’t know about you, but I rolled into 2020 excited to take on the new year, having no idea what was in store for all of us.

Enter COVID-19. The majority of entrepreneurs have taken huge hits in business. Many of us have found ourselves stuck at home, jobless, and wondering what the next step is.

Take a deep breath. Even if you’re stuck in place – you’re still going places.

There has never been a better time to take control of your life, become your own boss, and achieve location independence.

But starting – and growing – your own business is no joke. It can be tough work, and it’s helpful to learn from the people who have done it all before and lived to tell the tale!

I asked fellow entrepreneurs around the globe what podcasts they had found most helpful in their business journey – and include…

Given the current state of this world, Brides to Be are looking to planners to help guide them now more than ever. There are so many unique alternatives to spending thousands of dollars on weddings these days, and it starts with one of the most important pieces…. THE WEDDING DRESS!

With the new wedding trend of micro weddings soaring now into 2021 I have made it one of my missions to help guide those who are asking towards “gently-worn” wedding attire. This is a sustainable way to reuse and recycle something that literally only gets worn once for a few hours.Smaller celebrations in unique spaces are calling for alternative attire. I suggest a few keys places to my clients that are open to this option; of course, it is not for everyone.

First up is Rent the Runway where they offer a Celebrations section. You can find attire and accessories …

Being a virtual assistant was the best career choice I made 23 years ago. I spent 18 years as a virtual assistant after leaving my corporate job when I had my daughter, and in 2015 I opened a virtual staffing agency, Elite Virtual Assistants. I’ve seen it all (maybe not ALL, but a LOT), from both sides, and there are some dos and don’ts that will help you either find success as a VA, or help you realize it may not be the best choice for you.

Having the flexibility of scheduling my work around my life (instead of vice-versa) has been a life-saver for me over the years, especially while raising three kids. BUT, I quickly learned that trying to cram work into early mornings, nap times and evening hours wasn’t producing the greatest results as I tried to scale my client base. Being professional and building a business takes intention, planning and scheduling. Read more
