Jocelyn Anne 25th July Health Leave a Comment

When you think about it, it makes absolutely no sense that we tend to pay less attention to healthy eating when we’re super busy and rocking it out at the office for more hours in a day than we quite possibly should be.

How to Quit Your Job – 5 Steps to Transition Into a New Career

Cat Stevenson 15th July Career Leave a Comment

While travelling in Dallas for work, I picked up a book titled One Person/Multiple Careers by Marci Alboher. It spoke about how wearing many hats and not being tied down to a full-time job can work for you. In the first few chapters,I made an instant connection: There were a lot of people with dynamic careers out there in the world — just like me — who wanted to know how to quit their full-time job!

I’m a Corporate Banker/Real Estate Agent/Writer/Board Chair for my local Boys & Girls Club. For a long time, I was my biggest critic about these several slashes. I thought to myself, “Okay, Cat, you’ve proved that you can do a lot. . . now pick one. . . one!” Click Here to Read Article …

He just didn’t see what a social network had to do with people’s food choices. I tried to explain that it doesn’t matter what you’re selling, people from all walks of life use Facebook and by not using it for his business he was missing out on sales every single day. Click Here to Read Article …
