I have wanted to attend CES (Consumer Electronics Show) for a few years now since tech plays such a big part in my life, but the show is traditionally only for people inside the tech world.
One of my favorite quotes is from Tony Robbins who said, "A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided."
We can choose to be happy or not...but the choice is always ours.
When I began my business, Moisture Jamzz. Inc. I used to read alot of self help books instead of biz books to help me feel the confidence I needed to move into unknown and new territory where I had no experience. Many of the business books were written by academics or MBA's and frankly were over my head. I found comfort in the motivational books like Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra etc.
As moms and mompreneurs, we are faced with constant decision making. I've questioned myself many times on how to make the best decisions especially when I have to decide quickly.
I much prefer to be able to mull things over, contemplate during a yoga class or a long walk, think about the various scenarios, etc...but most of the time we don't have that luxury. These days we need to act at the speed of technology. People want answers fast, and I must admit that I do work at a fast pace, but it's been responsible for some haphazard decisions.
Moms are busy. Mompreneurs may be even busier. I appreciate the decisiveness I get from mompreneurs. There is a definite sense of urgency to take care of a matter and move forward whether in life or biz situation. There's a sense of transparancy and straightforward attitude that I love with my mom in biz friends.
It's always nice to be invited to things, but sometimes it gets to be overwhelming! I feel that way right now, as summer draws to a close and back-to-school, football leagues and biz events are filling my calender at a record pace. And add to that, the social personal fun, too.
After attending BlogHer conference in San Diego last weekend, I'm reminded how face to face meetings are critical in building relationships, both personal and professional. I was excited to go and meet Twitter friends IRL (in real life) and it was really cool. Now we know each other a bit better and feels like a friendship rather than a virtual twitter friend.
