I have had such a busy week already! It is only Wednesday, and I already have the rest of the next week or so planned out. As of yesterday my partner in crime Shannon showed up and we have already started putting all of our ideas to work. We started Friday with a little brainstorming, but by Monday we were in full swing and setting things up.
As soon as she showed up, we got our coffee and started making a list of the different things we are going to start doing now that spring is here and summer is coming. We are both going to be hitting more Networking Conferences together. We have two set up for this week already. We are going to do some off-line advertising as well. It is time for the college students to start getting out of school. Going home for the summer gives them more time to make some money before going back to school, so that is what I want to help them do.
I have ordered my business cards, and we are in the middle of making our fliers. I have also asked Shannon to "marry me" so to speak as in joining me as a co-host for my radio show. She is a wonderful person and I think her voice needs to be heard, along with mine. We will be doing a video together before the end of the week, and pushing each other to be successful. "The true meaning of Networking." Helping each other, and pushing each other to be successful.
This week I wanted to invite Shannon to be on the show as a guest, and she said yes so you will be able to find out more about her on the show that I have here. I would also like to thank Steph Perez for allowing me to drag her onto the show unexpectedly.
Well off to finish more work before knocking out for the day. See you all next week.

The Best Day I Have Ever Had!
Yesterday, was the best day I have ever had being a Working Stay At Home Mom! I could not have asked for a better day. I got up on time, and got my first two kids out the door by 6:30 am. Made my husbands lunch and coffee, woke up my third and fourth children got everyone dressed and we were all out the door by 7:30 am.
I get my daughter to Preschool by 7:50 am and was able to make it to Starbucks for a meeting with a friend and business partner of mine by 8:30. Yes, I was on time and so was she. Alright off to a great start!
We sat and had our $10 worth of coffee we could barely pronounce at Starbucks we then realized that their internet connection was not working so we had to leave and went over to the McDonalds next door which had a McCafe and low and behold their connection was up and running so I turned on my laptop, and handed my son his little computer and we went to work. We had some conversation about the business she joined me in, and then we talked about the business she is in, which I was a member of but not an affiliate for. I had quite a few issues with her business in the past because I was taken for a ride and lied to by my sponsor. However, seeing the way that she is and just knowing that as a member she has been in constant contact with me to make sure everything was alright, I decided to become an affiliate again. This business runs in line with everything I am trying to do to make the change my life and get things in order so I am now a proud affiliate.
OK. We finished work at 11:30 am and I was able to go visit and have lunch with my husband. I never have time to do that, so it was a great treat for my husband, my son and I.
After lunch, it was time to head home so that I could relax for a little while before picking up my preschooler at 2:00, and then get ready for a 2:30 training appointment on skype with one of my new community members in my business. Yes it had to be on skype for two reasons. One because at 2:30 my older two get home so my house turns into a very loud jungle, and two this way he would be able to pull the conversation at a later date if he needs the info again for himself or someone else. It was a win win. We had a great hour and a half training session, and we were able to get to all of the questions that he had. That left me with an hour to take care of my email and make phone calls to answer questions to people who left voicemail for me.
Once all of that was finished I was able to play with my kids, dance around my house with them, and we had such a great time I didn't freak out when the two youngest ones broke two of the boards under my sons brand new two week old bed. :) My husband came home early just as I was about to cook to let me know all he wanted was hotdogs which made my life even better last night. Because it left me even more time to play with the kids before my 8:00 pm radio show.
The radio show went very well as it is getting easier to do. Of course I am going to leave the link here for everyone to hear:
So as you can see being a Working Stay At Home Mom does have its perks from time to time. This is an example of the kind of day that we work hard to have. Incorporate family and business and have it flow in such a perfect way. These days can happen, and when they do they remind you that, your family is what it is all about the time that you can have with them to just play, talk, dance and still get your work done.
Talk to you all soon,

Family Visiting And I Still Have Work To Do!
I am having a crazy week this week! My mommy is here, she has come to visit since the kids have Spring Break this week. That means that my house is completely full of people, we have myself, my husband, the four children and my mom and step-dad. That is eight people, you would think I would have more time with grandma here to get work done, NOPE my computer is in the living room in the center of the "jungle" kids running around, fighting over who is going to sit in grandpas lap, and I could not concentrate so I had to really push myself to get all of my work done first thing in the morning while everyone was asleep and then at night once the kids went to bed. But do you know I still got my work done. What do you know, I was able to pull it off.
Although, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off for the week, I found time to take the family down to visit an old friend of the family that I hadn't ween in 20 years, and I also found time to take them to Charleston SC to visit where the Civil War took place. A very busy week indeed.
As for my work, I of course made it through another Chapter of Think and Grow Rich, I reconnected with a few more people that I used to be in constant contact with when I first started working with Online Business Alliance and I was still able to pull off my radio show when I walked in my door with 5 minutes to spare coming back from that old friends house which was an hour and a half away from me. Not only that but my guest for the day canceled on me which is fine I understand that things come up, but while I am driving on the road I am on my cell phone trying to find a guest for the show, which did not work out, so I Thank God for Clarence, and the people who called in because we were able to fill the hour anyway. Check it out:
