This post is part of my Bad Career Advice series in which I expose outdated, clichéd, and counterproductive advice for exactly what it is. I understand the sentiment behind this piece of advice and clearly, its intent is to push you past your own perceived limits. While its heart is in the right place, I believe the advice to “never give up&# also ignores the blatant reality of life and instills the idea that quitting for any reason is an unacceptable act of defeat.

The Sodastream products had struck my fancy for a few holiday seasons. Several blogs had been giving them away and unfortunately, I hadn’t won one yet. So, I was excited when the company agreed to be part of my Green Gift Giving series this season! Sodastream’s products are a great addition to the home or office making green steps: How Does SodaStream Help the Environment?

The holiday season is one of the most exciting times of year in the office. The big holiday party gives coworkers a chance to see another side of their office mates, it's a great bonding experience, and you get to meet everyone's significant other. But someone's got to plan the extravaganza, right? If the responsibility falls on you this year, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed.

To the Cloud ! It’s the latest catch phrase for Windows 7 , but the cloud has been around for awhile. In fact, working in the cloud is something that most virtual assistants like me have been doing for quite some time. Virtual office or office in the cloud, they can be used interchangeably. But if you’re like a lot of people you aren’t quite sure just how to adopt the whole ‘in the cloud’ thing when it comes to your business and more specifically your office.

The phrase " lean startup " was coined by software entrepreneur Eric Reis a few years ago.  A lean startup uses open source technologies and other low cost products to keep their burn rate low.  At the same time, lean startups also make continual and rapid revisions to their products based on feedback from customers.  The term and methods have been widely adopted in Silicon Valley and his blog, Lessons Learned , has become a Mecca for software and web

As you will all know, I am truly passionate about helping small businesses to succeed, and that a fundamental part of that process is learning from both the mistakes and the successes of business veterans. That is why I was so eager for WinWeb to enter in to a partnership with the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE). WinWeb software , and the help of an IOEE mentor, could make a real difference between success and failure for a small business.

Having written an entire workbook teaching people how to reduce the “frazzle” of life , it always surprises me when I stumble on a new stress management technique that actually works. Sure, there’s always some new fangled idea floating around. Unfortunately, more often than not, I find such ideas are full of promise but lack the substance to really make them worthwhile.

Do you feel it? It's that slight motion that may signal we're turning the corner. More companies are beginning to offer perks again at work, like -- gasp -- bonuses. The office holiday party this year may actually be more than cold pizza with a side order of greasy chicken wings. Maybe you're feeling a bit more optimistic, as well. You and your co-workers have survived some pretty tough times, and you'd like to offer some cheer as the holiday season approaches by opening up your home.

We record our own conversations while in the same room, using digital recorders. Interviews are either recorded while in the same place as the interviewee, using digital recorder. Or, if the individual we are interviewing is at another location, we use Skype’s conference calling feature.

In my family, there's a saying about "two floors later." It has to do with the time a family member had a run-in with another person and couldn't think of a good comeback. Instead, she got on the elevator, fuming. She says that "two floors later" on the elevator ride she came up with just the right comeback. Now, whenever our family has a difficult conversation and can't think of the right way to respond at that moment, we talk about how "two floors later" we found the right response.

Fun article on lazy locavores in the WSJ.  We first wrote about this trend several years ago, and  last year we became one.    Locavores try to purchase as much food as possible from locally grown sources.  Locavores do this for a variety of reasons.  Local food is fresher, tastes better, is more likely to be organic and often (but not always) less harmful to the environment.  The best source, of course, is a home garden.  But lazy locavores

I live close to a golf course, so my garage is always full of golf balls collected by my children. We literally have big plastic containers filled with golf balls sorted by type and condition. While I like to keep a container with the best of them in my trunk to restock my endless need, my children have other ideas. Mitchell and Madeline, who seems to have the same entrepreneurial spirit I have, would rather sell these balls back to the golfers as they drive by our house on their way home.
