And by that I mean literally, my fresh-out-of-college unemployed little sister, Rianna. She’s probably the
best person that I know, and I’m probably the best sister that anyone could have. Which is why I’m dedicating an entire post to her today.
I’m not sure exactly when she decided she had to move to New York City after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill with an Anthropology degree this past May, but I’m pretty sure her mind was made up when we visited the city during her Spring Break back in March. While I was walking around complaining about my . . . → Read More: HASO (Help A Sister Out)!

Would I keep using social media and networking sites if I weren’t ever looking for a new job or clients? Already certain industries are more prominent on LinkedIn and Twitter (marketing, public relations, news sources, internet startups, consultants, freelancers, etc.) and more jobseekers than steady-job-havers keep active social networking profiles.
But at this stage in the game I just can’t see ever not using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Brazen Careerist, but believe it or not there was once a time when I barely used them (two of which I didn’t even adopt until 2009). Whoa was I behind . . . → Read More: On Justifying Social-Networking (Or Why I Might Abandon Social Media)

Everyone else is saying it, so I will too. Thank God For Spring Weather!!!!!
Now let’s jump right into reviewing my goals for March: Finish perfecting the killer resume. Honest to god, I have a rough-draft, but wow some things just take a lot more time than you imagined. I’m carrying this one over to April . Finish the new blog redesign. You might not notice a huge difference from last month, but there was a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff going on. The only part I’m still trying to work out is the Photography page. Hrmmm. There seems . . . → Read More: April Monthly Goal Meetup

February surprised me in a lot of ways. When I wrote my goals for February I thought that I had it all planned out. But then mid-month some new opportunities arose, events popped up, connections were made, priorities changed.

I know that’s all very vague, but my point is that if you can’t go with the flow, you might just miss out on some really great stuff. For example, you might notice that I have a brand new WordPress website with my own domain! When my aunt offered (read: really pressured me) to . . . → Read More: March Monthly Goal Meetup

I did much better in November with 3 weeks than in December with 4 weeks. December is one of those months that just falls into a black hole. Family comes in to town and somehow you’re mind is warped into believing that a regular routine and goals are so passé. Let’s give the review a whirl anyways:
1. Do all the “easy” stuff that I just never seem to make time for. Finally got my car checked out. Made a dentist appointment, went to original appointment, and knocked out 3 additional appointments all before December 29th (although . . . → Read More: January 2010 Monthly Goal Meetup

Oh yes, I definitely made those scrumptious looking cheese & ham puffs, and that was one of my goals for November! Now on to a recap of my November goals with my new December goals to follow:
1. Get out all of my holiday cards before Thanksgiving. They were all in the mail the day before Thanksgiving, but honestly I would have been really disappointed in myself if I didn’t make this happen considering I’m in the business of marketing and urged all of my clients to get their own holiday cards out early this year, too!

I discovered the “Monthly Goal Meet-Up” group on Brazencareerist.com and at first assumed it was an actual meet-up in person in the flesh thing and felt so left out! Silly me; this is an online community after all.
So now I’m really quite relieved that I can join this already strong monthly goal group and I don’t have to start one myself. See, I’ve been telling myself for a few weeks now that I need just take a few minutes to write down my goals. I took the time to write 1 goal. And it was lofty.
