One simply cannot have Steampunk without a bit of wood somewhere now can one? I've admired the wood fenders of one Mister Cody Davis for some time now, and they seemed the perfect way to include an elegant touch of wood to the Steampunk tadpole trike project.
With encouragement from Mister Jake Von Slatt we've decided to try adding coach lamps to the trike as well. Small things they are not. But they may be just that slightly gonzo something extra to really bring the project together. The one pictured was converted to electrical use by a previous owner. We will of course undo that bit of business.
Wood Indeed.

So I'm still laid up with the leg injury but I did some work towards getting back into shape today... in the future...
Groupon is one of my favorite things ever and I can't wait to check my email every morning to see what my daily Groupon deal is going to be. I also get one from Living Social and Faveroo and I love it. More often than not they're not anything I can use but I still love checking them out and am always very excited when it's something I want.
So this morning I woke up around 630 and checked my email and the subject line caught my eye right away... "93% off 6 week boot camp." Whatever the deal was for 93% off of anything is pretty much right up my alley. Ad I'm definitely interested in good deals on fitness things right now because my quest to look like Cameron Diaz in 362 days is closing in. Actually Cameron Diaz is not really on my radar I'm actually more interested in someone like Sarah Ramirez from Greys or Christina Hendricks from Mad Men. Not only because it's a more realistic goal for me but also because I actually prefer their body type than something like Cameron Diaz, as beautiful as she is. I'm sure there are a lot of men out there who prefer women much more thin than Sarah or Christina but honestly I find their body type much more appealing and it's about MY Best Life, right? When I'm thinner I'm still curvy and voluptuous and I prefer to embrace and rock those curves than shy away from them. I just need to get back to that point!
But I digress... often. LOL. I'm sure you've noticed that about me by now. I also tend to be super wordy. I prefer "verbose" but that's just the English major in me poking through. I hope you have the patience to read through my entire posts because quite simply, as hard as it is for me to cut things out of my life, it's just as hard for me to cut words out of my stories.
So anyway back to the Groupon. I was seriously considering it as it seemed like a pretty good deal but the only problem was that the gym where it was located is about a half hour from my house so that would cause problems with childcare for me. OH yeah and also the fact that in the picture the women were wearing sports bras and shorts that were basically lollies and rocking their 6 pack abs... I was thinking... ok so this place is NOT for me. Soon it was time to get the kids up for their first day back to school since Christmas break so I put the Groupon idea on the back burner.
My mom came over to help me get the kids up and ready (again, leg injury!) and she had just come back from spending the New Year's weekend in DC with my sister (remember?) They brought me back not one, but TWO gigantic delicious looking cupcakes from Crumbs in DC. Not to derail my personal quest, they are both totally on board with helping me and also they are continually on the same quest, but my sister and I have kind of followed news about Crumbs opening and were curious about how they tasted since the last time I visited her when she lived there (she's moved home since then) we waited in line for over a half hour to get cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcakes (the one from the TLC show... but this was before the TLC show) and were seriously disappointed by them. So now I'm staring at these 2 giant Crumbs cupcakes. Mmmm.... My mind immediately went back to the Groupon.
I ate one cupcake for breakfast after the kids were all off to school while my mom and I discussed how we were going to work out kid transportation over the next couple of weeks until I am off my crutches. I'll be honest... it wasn't as good as I was hoping. But that didn't mean I wasn't going to eat the other one later!
OK this has nothing to do with what I'm writing about here but as I'm writing I'm watching "Teen Mom" on MTV (no judgement!) and the girl is giving up her baby for adoption... to her aunt and uncle! I'm sobbing. I can't watch stuff like this! How brave of this girl.
OK back to me. LOL. After my mom leaves I log back onto my email and look a little further into the Groupon info and read a little bit on the gym's website. It says encouraging things like, "Don't worry!" and "No beauty or fashion contests here!" and "Our trainers have all lost 30-60 lbs themselves!" and finally in bold letters and underlined it says "You won't be the worst one! we have a variety of clients who need to lose 100 lbs, 50 lbs, or 20 lbs." I'm sold. I buy the Groupon. Actually, I buy 2. I'm probably delusional and I'm sure that those trainers that lost 60 lbs started at like 140 and now they weigh 80 and that 90% of their clientele need to lose 20 lbs so they can get down to a size 0 but... I'm going to give it a try. I've got to get this bod in shape so if making myself go to boot cam is what I need to do then that's what I need to do!
Umm... back to "Teen Mom" real quick... the girl took her baby back... and her aunt and uncle were totally fine with it... I missed the beginning so I don't know what their circumstances are but I'm thinking this is going to make for awkward Thanksgivings...
So I can't start boot camp yet, obviously, and I probably won't actually "cash in" my Groupon for a couple of months after I am walking again so I can hopefully get a little jump start and not be killed by boot camp instructors, but I've got the 2 six week sessions in my possession and ready to be used. The good thing is that you have to use or at least register to use them by July 4 so I won't be able to put it off forever... I love checks and balances!
It's going to be tough arranging how to get childcare set up for what will essentially be 2 hours a day twice a week with driving time but figuring things like that out by finding a dependable, attentive babysitter (other than my parents!) is also something I need to accomplish so that is just something else I will need to get done!
OK I have a lot of work to get done tonight so I will end this endless blog post for today. I will quickly say that the Teen Mom is now giving her ridiculously adorable 1 month old baby back to the aunt and uncle. Poor girl. She's so lucky that she has such a supportive family. I know firsthand how important and necessary that is. She's trying to Live Her Best Life I guess. I can't imagine giving up my baby but I'm sure that's the best decision for Her Best Life. Now on with Mine!

Quotations Aboutbooks
A book is like a man—clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
Letter to his editor and friend, Pascal "Pat" Covici, 1952
Posted in: John Steinbeck
Giles: Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is…it has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be, um, smelly.

Following some recent leakage, it seems the new look Google Play Store app is finally official. Google has just announced that the new-look Play Store app will begin rolling out to Android devices today.
In today's announcement post on the official Android blog, Google says the new-look app is aimed to be "simple" and "clean," with a renewed focus on entertainment content. Based on the official promo images, that certainly seems to be the case -- Google Now-like greys and whites dominate the UI, while a lot of screen space is given to large images for music, movie and book content.
The purchasing process has also been streamlined, Google says, which hopefully means fewer taps to buy apps and other content through this new version of the store.
The new Google Play Store will begin pushing automatically to devices running Android 2.2 Froyo and above starting today, so keep a lookout in the hours ahead. In the meantime, hit the comments if you've managed to get it already.

Jessica Levens
Catering Sales Manager
I was born and raised in Minnesota and I graduated college from the University of Wisconsin-Stout with a degree in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management with a concentration in Event Planning. I fell in love with event planning during college when I had an internship at a country club, serving and working events. Since graduation I have worked in a variety of positions such as an administrative assistant at a catering company and an event coordinator with a local venue in St. Paul. One interesting fact about me is that I love giraffes which makes the Como Zoo such an amazing place to work.
Patty Michaels
Catering Sales Manager
I was born and raised in Minnesota. I have been in the hospitality industry for 20 years. At age 15 I started as a car hop waitress at A&W then I moved on to being a banquet server for a local catering company. Growing up I always thought I wanted to be a teacher until a friend convinced me to study Travel & Hospitality which led me to working at a resort in Nisswa, MN. I graduated in 2002 and got a job at a catering company in Downtown Saint Paul. I was there for 11 years before I went into hotel sales. I missed catering and event planning so after 5 years I decided to search for my next adventure. I believe you must have a passion for what you do and take pride in it. I think Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is such an amazing place to host an event so it's a perfect fit for me.

The Research Tool is one of your options when you use the "Tools" pull-down in Docs, Drawings, and Slides. Once selected, it opens a window on the right side with different research options. If you have a word highlighted or have your cursor in a word, it automatically enters that as your search term.
Research & information fluency is not only one of our ISTE standards (ISTE-S.3), but it's addressed in Common Core as well (CCRA.W.8). For students, having external information (or images) that can be pulled into a document from within the document can be a time-saver. For sources, you can specify which citation format you want to use (MLA, APA, or Chicago), and it will insert it for you.
Instructionally, this won't replace an online database for formal research, but if you want students to reinforce their ideas with images, incorporate famous quotations, and/or if you would like them to start learning about citations, this could be a good entry point.
Google Search
Image Search
Quotes Search
When doing an image search, you can limit your results to only display those that are free to use. You can then just drag the picture you like into your document.
Where can I learn more?
Google has a support article on using the Research tool. And, in addition to finding this option on the web version of Google Docs, Android users can use this on their mobile devices.

yes that's exactly
it — you'd think they would all stay
grounded by the storm —
but here is one brave creature
daring its wings into flight
In my dream I saw an aeroplane taking off into the heart of a fearsome hurricane. When I graduated in 1978, I had a series of dreams in which the Thames had flooded London. I now believe probably my unconscious was trying to alert me to a literal danger. Graduation is a momentous point in a young life. The adult society I was entering had the problem of climate change and sea level rise built into it, even in 1978 — even though nobody knew, back then. Maybe the storm in last night's dream is also a vision of the future. I have a book on my shelves waiting to be read, called 'Storms of My Grandchildren' by James Hansen, the climate scientist who headed NASA's Goddard Institute for a couple of decades. The bravery of the aeroplane (like Thomas the Tank Engine!) strikes me as symbolic too at a deeper level. The odds are all stacked against me in my emotional interactions with other people, I sometimes feel. The law of my own emotional being (e.g. the need to fly) works exactly contrary to the conditions in which I find myself.

Happy Monday friends! Another weekend gone by too fast but I am excited because this is my LAST week of surgery! Somehow I am down to only THREE more rotations before graduation. AHHHH!!! This weekend was pretty laid back for us and truth be told I didn't take many pictures. So you'll have to settle for a wordy recap instead 😉
Saturday morning Emmie and I headed out for some one-on-one time with errands. Our first stop was Target for some mailing supplies and PlayDoh. But in true Target fashion we left with a cart full of stuff. I swear that place gets me every time! Next up was grocery shopping which took 2.5 times longer than normal but my tiny helper enjoyed putting things in the cart so it was worth it. The rest of the day we hung out and played before making Jenn's pesto chicken stuffed spaghetti squash for dinner. YUM!
Sunday morning we were up bright and early to head out the door to church. Mass was great and as always left me with a filled heart. After mass I quickly ran into my favorite local coffee shop for the essentials …. caffeine. Their vanilla chai latte is what dreams are made of.
The rest of the day was filled with chores. I meal prepped like a boss, we tackled laundry, cleaned up the playroom, and wrestled with our kids. Our lives also changed forever because Bryn learned how to climb out of her crib! NOOO!!! Emmie never did that and I thought FOR SURE I had awhile longer since B isn't even two yet but nope, she figured it out. She is an expert climber and did it without even making a sound. She just pranced out of her room after nap time like it was no big deal. Now taking ideas for how to prevent her from doing this!
AND in reward of you reading this far I'd love to offer THREE people the chance to try one of our Rodan+Fields mini facials! Simply comment below with "yes me!" and I will get one in the mail to you. It comes with a sample of our Micro-dermabrasion paste, night renewing serum, and lip renewing serum and is a great way to see how amazing these products are! This is open to new users only please 🙂
Have a great day friends!
How was your weekend?

"A picture is worth a thousand words" or at least that's what they say. The truth is pictures can be deceiving. Sometimes the author or subject chooses to let the viewer in. Other times we see what they want us to see. Pictures can hide ones insecurities and make someone seem confident, they can make a broken home seem whole for a moment, all while hiding the true story behind the image. Not all images have broken stories, but stories none the less. At least through my lense they do….
This is a picture of my 8-9 year old self, holding a friend of my parents new baby girl. I'm sure at some point in the evening I asked or was tasked with "feeding the baby". No big deal. I was good with kids. I've feed a newborn before. I've got this. At some point the camera came out, a picture taken and a story hidden. At the time I'm sure I thought, wow I must be like a super pro at this for my age cause they just took my picture. Regardless the baby was fed, a picture taken and life continued. Occasionally invoking me watching this baby girl again and her brother.
Several years later,as a naïve 11 year old, I can remember my parents buying land, starting our new house and there being a flatbed trailer in the back of the construction area. Free and empty, like a stage waiting to be danced on. I spent a lot of time on that trailer while my parents worked inside. Once the girl and her brother where there and together we played on that flat bed trailer. I can remember thinking I was like some babysitting prodigy, my imagination stemming from the above picture, and I pretended to receive a babysitting award in which I gave a Emmy worthy speech where everyone,with tear filled eyes, stood and applauded for. Babysitters club was obviously my top favorite book series at the time. Like I said, naïve 11 year old.
Obviously I grew up and the reality that I wasn't the worlds best babysitter, and if I was they didn't give out awards for it, was crushing but teenage years set in and soon babysitting wasn't the cool thing to do anymore. On to the crime solving adventures inspired by Nancy Drew, but we will save those for another day. Nevertheless that picture had a story, one that I didn't become aware of till much later.
See some small facts about my childhood you may not know.
- I was a pastor's kid. This meant we were around all kinds of people often and people tend to think pastor's children are more responsible, again I was naïve, which made someone trusting an 8 year old with a infant to me seemed normal.
- I was an only child. In a youth group filled with siblings, I kind of stuck out like a sore thumb. I got annoyed with my friends who complained about their siblings coming into youth group and hanging out with their friends…. I really just wanted someone to complain about.
- I was adopted. I know I know a million questions going through your head. But the biggest one I'll answer. Yes, I've always known. The question of if I had siblings was something I wanted to know since I was young. My heart seemed to ache for them, beyond just someone to babysit.
So back to the story. If you don't already see where this is going.
So the picture that I thought was the start of my babysitting rise to fame, was really me cluelessly feeding my sister. See like I said above I was adopted and my parents and my birth mother stayed close, so close that we hung out at thanksgiving together, their parents were friends and my siblings and I were raised together, all the while just thinking we were nothing more then just family friends.
I was about 16 when I was told who my biological mother was. A few months after my brother and sister were told and from there the world changed. My sister always loved me, even before we knew. We all went to the same private school so she would run to hug me when she was at elementary recess and I was heading to lunch. When she found out that we were sisters she told everyone and I mean everyone.
Over the next couple of years we hung out and spent time together as sisters but we didn't get super close till I moved back from college and she was in high school. During her freshman and sophomore years we along with our brother and some friends spent most of our weekends playing card games or board games. I can still remember going over on a Friday night and spending hours debating on what to eat and what to play before finally deciding at 11pm. Most nights we laughed till we cried out of sheer exhaution.
Eventually my brother graduated, I got married and he, along with his crazy roommates and my family lived next door to one another, that's a story for another day. Our late nights soon moved to the dueplex and over time life took hold and the game nights faded away. In 2013 I had our first child, 2014 he got married and I had our second child then in 2015 I had our third child and my brother and wife welcomed their first child to our crazy world.
For my sister and I Sundays became our weekly hellos. Occasionally she would join in for a fall bonfire or a taco tuesday. Game nights popped up every once in a blue moon and shopping trips occurred quartly. We were so much alike yet different in the same that we each had our own opinions on life. Unfortunately the juggle of life was tough and our relationship suffered.
In life some times it's hard to balance a relationship with your husband, being a mom of 3 young ones and then working part time on top of that. Add in grandparents and inlaws and you have something every week. It's no excuse I know, but it's something I should of worked harder at then. The juggling act though can be exhausting but again not an excuse.
As a parent, in my thirties, the reality of life without my parents and grandparents is a haunting thing. It's something that sometimes creeps into my minds after I ask my mom a cooking question or call just to hear her voice. The reality that one day they won't pick up the phone is overwhelming. It's not something I dwell on but sadly I try to SLOWLY prepare my self for it.
When my mom called at 4am one Friday morning I thought the reality had come. Relieved by her quick response of "your dad and I are fine" caused my tense nerves to relax… for only a moment.
My sister. The 22 year old, full of life, ray of yellow sunshine was gone. One fatal crash. The surge of emotions still reel like waves crashing against a rock. So many questions, so many thoughts and sadly so many regrets.
I'm not writing this for sympathy, the past is in the past and the time I missed out is now something I have to live with. See behind every picture is a story; and often those stories become cautionary tales.
Mine is of a girl, who longed for a bother and sister but in the weight of life, failed to be there for so many moments. Sure I have images of us during the milestones, but everyone surrounds you during your highlight reel. The years we were close, I'll hold tight too. The late nights filled with laughter I'll play on repeat in hopes that the noise will drown out the silence of the more recent nights.
Despite miles, opinions and lifestyles, love… with everything. You never know when a farwell or a hug will be your last.
Dear sister,
My heart ached for you before you were born and now it aches again for you. Your fearlessness use to frustrate me. The conversations we had about broken hearts and hurt friendships made me think that my cautious life was the smarter choice. You never loved someone halfway though. If they were in your life you embraced them as they were with caution to the wind. I see now that I was wrong. I've learned to love everything about every moment of life and to love those around me without borders. To never leave a question or word unresolved.
So many things will remain unsaid. So many questions left unanswered. One day the laughter will return, the memories will once again be sweet and life will continue but there will always be a missing piece. You made sure that every life you touched would miss you… and I surly do.

There's a reason we believe that America is watching Geisinger, one of the nation's largest health service organizations. We are dedicated to setting the standard for evidence-based care delivery and pursuing innovative new approaches to predictive precision medicine, such as our MyCode® genomic research initiative. Whether you prefer working in a busy urban center, a suburban area or a small-town setting, Geisinger has clinical and nonclinical positions open throughout our system. With 13 physician-led hospital campuses to staff throughout Pennsylvania and in southern New Jersey, we offer a wide range of positions, a competitive, pay-for-performance salary structure and healthcare benefits from day one, including those for vision, dental and domestic partners.* Perhaps just as important, from senior management on down, we encourage an atmosphere of collaboration, cooperation and collegiality.

Have you always wanted to take the kids out on your SUP Board?
Most times you have the trouble of trying to balance them, at the same time trying to get the board to glide along the water. Or you wait till your children are old enough to have a go by themselves.
Let me introduce you to Brian he has started making SUP Board Seats for Kids. They made of ply and mounted to the top. There are other seats available online but none are as cool as Brian's.
His kids are not only able to venture out with him but with each other. Check out his video below.

Big Thanks to Alex and Tori for an entertaining, fun and exciting game, and to the monsters for great fights and encounters. At times it felt like we were being pushed hard, but never to the point it felt impossible.
Thank you to the other players too. You were great to adventure, kept my spirits up when I flagged and provided a good combination of laughs and the mission seriously.

text: The kitchen island is an important part of many modern kitchens today. It's a place where we cook, prep food and gather with friends and family over bottles of wine and snacks. With so many different activities going on, many wonder if kitchen island lighting fixtures are properly lighting the space. There are more options of kitchen island lighting fixtures available now than ever before, helping you truly maximize the functionality of this space. Besides enhancing the social atmosphere, effective kitchen island lighting is vital because it is where much food preparation is done. For example, chandeliers; these kitchen light fixtures that can be used for spanning the whole length of an island or bar. This type of lighting can provide a lot of character and depth to your kitchen, which is why this type of lighting fixture is very popular. A number of variations are available for island chandeliers ranging from two light to four light fixtures. If you are thinking of an appropriate kitchen island lighting, island chandeliers would be great since they have the beauty of a chandelier while casting their light over the entire length of your island.

The Game
I suggested the idea to Tiffany that we should see how much money we could find in a whole year (running from June to May), just by picking up discarded coins from the floor. She had recently found a few coins and had mentioned to me that she always picked up stray pennies and so was well on board. The game was born.
I created 2 tins for us to capture our found cash.
There are 3 prizes on offer as follows :
Gold :
Is awarded to the person who finds the highest value of money across the year.
Silver :
Is awarded to the person who finds the most English coins across the year.
Bronze :
Is awarded to the person who finds the most non English (or old English) coins across the year.
The Players
Ghost is the silent player who coins/notes are allocated to in the game, where you see it, but cannot get it. An example being you see a penny on some land but can't get to it because it's behind a locked gate.
The game thrives on honesty and in order for us to run this game across a whole year, we only add money into the game if:-
1) We've come by it honestly. So, legitimately found it.
2) We haven't stolen it or haven't seen someone drop money and not offered it back.
As part of that, we can't just give to the game from our own wallets !
Keeping Track
To help keep track of our finds and to work out the statistics, I created a rather nice Road Gold spreadsheet. Here's a Blank Spreadsheet for you to download so you can see what I created !
The End Result
We decided that at the end of the year, we'd use all of the money found to fund a really fun activity (to be decided based on how much we find). The cash cannot be put towards something generic or standard, such as shopping or a meal out. As we do that a fair bit anyhow – it has to be fun and unusual !

Both SUVs are available with a turbocharged petrol engine
The aggressively priced Venue is equipped with various segment-first features, including a dual-clutch automatic transmission, but it still leaves us wanting in some departments

Time to Clone Yourself?
The increasing number of Black Friday Sales starting before US Thanksgiving is a testament to the huge amount of money spent at this time of year. According to the NRF: 30% of annual revenue, for retailers big and small, come from purchases in November and December!
Imagine over $105 Billion in just two months of ONLINE sales! If you are not actively pursuing these orders, then prepare to miss out on this opportunity to grow your business and increase your exposure to potential clients!
This can be Your Best Month of the Year
If you are in Direct Sales, you must be feeling the buzz around you in regards to upcoming sales this month and leading into December.
Notoriously, the month of November, can be your biggest month in sales. Don't be afraid to book up your calendar this month. This is the time of year when many independent consultants strive to make it to the next level of management and pay scale!
So, how do you fill up your calendar? Well, there are some big holidays coming up that allow you the opportunity of reconnecting with your customers.
Why Tracking Your Success will Help you Reach Your Goals
In order to get the most of tracking your succes, it's important to be as detailed as possible. Because when you track the things that matter, your revenue will increase, and the time you spend on your business will be much more effective.
Every thing we do in our businesses should be tracked. That way, a year (or two) from now, you can look back and see how succesful different events have been.
Some examples of things that should always be tracked in a direct sales business include:
5 Tips to Make Your Business Stand Out
What is the key to standing out above your competitors? This is the question millions of business owners ask themselves when they start out, and when they re-evaluate their business.
Here are 5 key points to implement when you are running your own business to help you stand out above the rest.
Is it Worth Your Time to Send Newsletters?
This week, one of our clients emailed us regarding concerns she had about sending her newsletter for the very first time.
She was mortified to see that she had a couple of spam complaints, as well a number of unsubscribes. She had been meticulous in ensuring that she only emailed clients that had requested to be on her emailing list and indicated they wanted to receive information from her.
I could sense from her email that she was really taken aback, and didn't know the best thing to do—should she continue to send emails or not?
And this is a good question, since email campaigns or newsletters can take a large amount of your valuable time away. Is it time to analyze YOUR email campaigns to see if they are working?
An Interview with Andrea Waltz - Go For No!
Last week on our blog we talked about how well you are running your business if you are getting rejections. However, we know that hearing NO can take effect on one's morale.
That is why Fiitfu gives you tools to be sure that you are able to run your business effectively.
This month in our 2015 Fiitfu Follow-up Workbook Calendar (still available for purchase HERE as a download), we are all about supporting you in working through the "No's". On Week 29 we have a chart with 100 places for you to track your NO's and YES's. If you don't have our Calendar, and don't want to download via the link above, simply take a piece of paper and mark down spaces for 1 to 100. Your challenge is to decide what your "ASK" is going to be, then call 100 people over the week and mark down if they were a yes or a no. Remember, you will probably get more NO's then YES's—but that is the way it is for everyone!
For more support, you can also check out our recording with Andrea Waltz, co-author of the Go For No Book.
Rejections are the Best Way to Monitor if You are Working Your Business
I am going to just say it straight: If you are NOT getting any rejections, then you are NOT working on income producing activities in your business.
Rejections are a key indicator that you are working your business right! They mean that you are:
- Asking people for the sale
- Asking them to join your team
- Asking them to have a party for you
- Asking them to give you a referral
- Asking them if they would like a sample
- Asking them to take a catalogue and sharing it with their friends at the office
- Asking them SOMETHING
Stop Procrastinating, Start Completing
This blog is timely, as we are working on a number of projects right now and it seems nothing gets done until you focus on the final details of ONE THING. And boy, does it feel fantastic when it is finally complete!
As an example of one of our projects, we are excited to be working with Ally Loprete - Radio Talk Show Host with "This Little Parent Stayed Home".
In preperation for our interview, and what we will be giving to her listeners as an extra bonus we had a number of fine details to work out BEFORE we could launch our landing page featuring the bonus. We had three weeks to put something together, and of course, I am working on it all on crunch time!
Now we have put our script together, chosen the graphics and wording for the landing page, figured out our special give away to her listeners, created a form, writen up the great give away book, attached that to our form, created a webinar for those that would like to learn more about Fiitfu, spell checked, linked it to Fiitfu—what else is there?
Here are 6 TIps on staying focussed on your project, to be sure you complete it today!
The Power of the Gift Certificate
Create a Gift Certificate and make your clients HAPPY to hear from you!
We often hear from our clients that they fear following up because they don't know what to say, or they don't want to "bother" their clients.
Well, time to get over THAT!
And we have the perfect way to do it. If you are one of those that feel like you are a nuisance if you call your customers, then get creative and make them happy to hear from you!
A great way to do this is to create Gift Certificates and hand them out. BUT you can't just hand them out to anyone—there is a process that you have to follow for this. Let me explain.
Triple Your Sales with a New Referral Program
Want to double your business this quarter?
Then create a referral program and put it into play! Referrals are a powerful way of growing your business.
Referrals allow you to:
- Stay connected with present clients.
- Earn new WARM LEADS and use testimonials that will really resonate with the referral.
- Create loyalty to your brand.
So lets get you started on your new referral program now!
At Fiitfu 95% of our clients come from referrals, and we highly advocate setting one up for your business (or perhaps revamping your present one) no matter how small or large your company is.
Here are 6 tips on getting started on your Referral Program.
Mothers Day Promotion
We are so excited about Mom's working their business along side raising a family, that we want to help make it even easier to stay efficient and effective in your business venture!
So to support you, we are having a MOTHERS DAY SALE!
Receive 20% off our ANNUAL RATE AND STILL GET A 30 DAY FREE TRIAL!
Visit us at www.fiitfu.com click on SIGN UP and use the promo code mymomsbiz to start today.
Just One More
There's an old saying, "The Early Bird Gets The Worm", but in this day and age where we have technology that allows us to work with people all across the country, time isn't so much the factor as is the QUALITY and the QUANTITY of a follow-up.
According to Marketing Metrics, the probability of selling to a new prospect is only 5–20% however the probability of selling to an existing client is 60–70%! And yet, many of us feel fear in following up with our existing customers.
What if I told you that just ONE more call per day, would garner over 50 new customers this year.
Or that one more follow-up per week would increase your sales by 10% this month.
Or that one more ask for a referral a day would DOUBLE your customer base in 12 months.
Would you do it? Would you pick up the phone? Would you make the call to make a difference in your business?-->
10 Questions To Ask To Get Influencial Testimonials
It takes more than someone saying "I really liked working with Jan, and I would work with her again" to make an impression.
Imagine if someone instead said, "When I worked with Jan, she got back to me right away when I sent an email, she answered all of my questions AND in the end she saved me over $1000!"
Wouldn't THAT be a better testimonial, it explained that Jan was efficient, knowledgeable, and able to save you money. Three traits in one testimonial!
Remember, your testimonials are like mini sales pitches, without being a sales pitch, because it is not YOU that is saying it! So make sure when you print them out, they are powerful!
Here are 10 Awesome Questions to ask when asking for a Testimonial.
You don't have to use them all at once, pick two or three and see what you get back:
Making Your Day to Day Routine Fun
Not liking what you do? Feeling overwhelmed? Feeling like it's no fun anymore? Where did the love go?
The key is to go back to what inspired you originally when you started your career.

20 Follow-Up Ideas for your clients
At Fiitfu, we always talk about Follow-up being easier when you have good records of your clients. It is so much easier to follow-up when you know the last time you spoke, what you talked about, their last order items, or even products or services that they have on their "wish list".

a formal statement testifying to someone's character and qualifications
Very powerful when you regard your testimonials as someone testifying to your character and qualifications.
This is why when someone takes the time to email you, send you a note or call you to tell you how much they enjoy your product or your service, that this is not to be taken lightly.
Here are 6 Must Do's when you get a testimonial, a great tool to help you move your business forward!
Become a Stronger Leader with Tough Talks

- A team member never follows through on their promises?
- New rep isn't put in the work to get the results they desire?
Tough Talks - You can tell them what you feel.
Tough Talks
Do you find you have team members that want to reach high success, but are not willing to do what it takes to get there?
Don't delay that difficult conversation any longer.
TOUGH TALKS will make having those tough conversations with anyone, in particular your team members a whole lot less tough. You will learn some pointers on how to provide honest feedback and have the other person take action. With this knowledge it will help you gain confidence with any kind of TOUGH TALK. So…Let's get TALKING
No "Cute Little Business".
We have all heard the terms before, Network marketing, direct sales, multi-level marketing (MLM), and sometimes even a pyramid scheme.
But the reality is Network marketing is big business, if you haven't been involved with it in some way already, it's a good bet to say you probably will be in the future.
In July 2014, the Direct Selling Association came out with the US annual sales report, and it is truly staggering to see the way this industry continues to boom!
3 Email Tips To Reconnect Now
Sometimes, following up can be a daunting task. It is especially daunting after you have taken some time off during the summer and you are overwhelmed with where to start!
The summer is not over yet, but don't wait until September to get started on your follow-up. We had a great email this morning from Chrysta Lewis of Arbonne talking about her summer. The email was very personal, warm, and a great way for Chrysta to reconnect with her clients. It got us thinking, and we wanted to share some ideas with you!
First, let's get you started with 3 easy steps to get your September off on the right track!
3 For 1 Birthday Sale Is Here!
Fiitfu's Three For One Birthday sale is ON!
Now getting your team organized is even easier than ever with Fiitfu's THREE FOR ONE Sale.
Purchase a 1 Year Subscription for only $199.50 and two others* also receive a 1 Year Subscription for Free!
A team of three...
Since writing that blog, I have become aware of how significant THREE can be!
This is NOT how follow-up should look.
If you are feeling like you are constantly begging, bugging or bungling things when it comes to follow-up, then you need to be sure you know these 3 key tips:
SMART goals are more likely to be reached. FACT OR FICTION?
A new year, a new set of goals.
Goals are often thought about in the first week or two of the new year, but soon forgotten. Often because good intentions are not matched by ACTION.
If you have written down your goals you are on the right track (and you are probably familiar with the Harvard study that suggests that the 3% of graduates that write down their goals, are actually the highest income earners in relation to their classmates).
BUT here is what I know.
SMART goals will take you so much further than your average goal. Written or not, a goal must be broken down to be a SMART goal.
What is a SMART goal? Well here you go.

Future Proof your Recruiters!
May 6, 2011 Leave a comment
Some recruiters allow themselves to question their future relevance. They feel they are under siege from the growing control that some in-house recruiters seek or from the fast paced development of social media and communication technologies.
I believe two behaviours will spare them from this anxiety and make them forever relevant:
1. Build deep, trusting and informed client relationships…
2. Become a relentless sourcing animal…
Neither of those two things are easy and that's why there are far fewer $1m plus billers than there are $300k billers. The former category of recruiters never question their relevance. They invest heavily in gaining deep knowledge of their clients and in their relationships. Equally they are relentless in their pursuit of quality candidates. To breakdown the skills required to master the above behaviours is a book rather than a blog, but use your imagination.
If your consultants master these two behaviours they will never feel distracted by any uncertainty of their worth.

The two are former sportsmen with Dennis Machio having been a premier league player and weight behind the rapid growth of the kenyan news outlet and online sports content developers.
When reached for comments the Machios could neither accept nor deny the claim of a buy out.
With Dennis laughing off the claims saying,"that is a good rumour ,but surely these are very good signs of positive growth and we appreciate the far God has brought us over the short period.On behalf of our team I assure that we will continue dedicating our energy towards serving the growth of Kenyas rich history of sports."
The website was voted Best Original Kenyan Sports News Website during BAKE awards and also awarded by Kenya ICT board for contributing towards transformation of lives through online content.

Probably going to have to wait till after the Deer Hunt (Feb 11). Hunters are concerned we are scaring the deer out of the park. Remember we are lowest on the totem pole at the Res right now, gotta hang in there. At least Stallone is powering through roughing out the trail, so things aren't standing still. We'll catch up to him quick when we get in there.

MakerSpace Success Story
At REI, we have seen outstanding success from many of our Co-Learning Plans. Among the most notable is Cristina Benton's Makerspaces, Supporting an Entrepreneurial System, which led to the East Lansing Public Library's "Books, Bites & Bids" event, which raised $19,000 for a digital maker space at the Library. The ELPL Digital Lab will include a variety of high-end technological equipment, including video and audio equipment, a 3D printer, and high-end computers with Photoshop, video and music editing software, and digital design programs. Makerspaces are now gaining national attention, with the first White House Maker Faire in June, and the administration is making plans for increased support of Makers in the coming year. REI is proud to have supported this project, and looks forward to further successes in our 2014 Co-Learning Plan Series.

Cement exports from Bulgaria have plummeted in the last two years, especially exports by sea across the Black Sea, Alex Car, General Manager of Deynya Cement (Italcementi) has told local agency BTA.
This is both due to the global downturn and to the very strong euro, Car said. Cement sales by the plants in Bulgaria halved in 2009 from 2008 due to the economic crisis. The industry was also hit by the harsh winter. "We expect a further drop in sales in 2010," he said.
Both Bulgarian plants, Devnya Cement and Vulkan Cement, operated at about 50 per cent of their capacity in 2009, Car said. He does not expect an improvement this year. Early this year the furnaces of both plants were stopped, and are now operating below capacity. They may be stopped again in the summer and perhaps in the winter, depending on the market, the General Manager said.
Bulgarian cement manufacturers also report significant competition with imports from Turkey. Asked to comment, Car said that in 2009 imports reached 500,000 tons and had a 15 per cent plus market share, and that imports in 2010 are just as large or larger.

Russian Red, a nasty,—
nasty lipstick
she taunts me
she makes me do things
the other evening, after my

myself to her
before my black silk dress
before my little panties and
before my black lace stockings
even before my favorite
black heels, the ones
with a colorful history
a nasty, nasty

the mockingbird
by Charles Bukowski
the mockingbird had been following the cat
all summer
mocking mocking mocking
teasing and cocksure;
the cat crawled under rockers on porches
tail flashing
and said something angry to the mockingbird
which I didn't understand.
yesterday the cat walked calmly up the driveway
with the mockingbird alive in its mouth,
wings fanned, beautiful wings fanned and flopping,
feathers parted like a woman's legs,
and the bird was no longer mocking,
it was asking, it was praying
but the cat
striding down through centuries
would not listen.
I saw it crawl under a yellow car
with the bird
to bargain it to another place.
summer was over.

Once again its a battle between the Anti-PC squad and the folks that just want us to have better manners. I like the apology the Colleyville kids came up with, that they are not "ignorant of the dialogue" taking place" in the country.
Could we stop this now? Maybe this is why we still have the problems that we do.
I'm just thinking that after 220 years of Anti-PC attitudes and policy that gave us slavery, lynchings, Barry Goldwater, Teapot Dome, eradication of the Buffalo, Bloody Sunday, smallpox epidemics for Native Americans, Kent State, repeal of Glass-Steagal, Lynchburg Va., marijuana laws, Joseph McCarthy, Socs and Greasers, Clive Bundy, and Vietnam, we might want to try something different and make a sober effort towards being more respectful of other folks situations and station in life. Can we just try it for a decade or two?
'What the hell do we have to lose?"
After all, they had a German Club, a Spanish Club and a French Club, they may even have had an African American Club, who knows? Anyway you can follow his logic there.
He decided to form up this club, and began hanging "Join The White persons Club " posters all aroud the school.
Unauthorized and without permissions of course.
Anyway, I got to go down to the school and sit there with him in the principals office, and the principal and I did our best for an hour to explain what was wrong with a White persons Club.
We never quite did to his satisfaction.
It's a difficult thing to explain.
But two years ago, after Ferguson, I was riding in the car with him. We got to talking and I asked him:
"So 8 years later, you are all grown, and you've had time to see what goes on in the country. Do you understand now what is wrong with a "White Persons Club"?
He smiled a sad little smile, and said "Yes Pop, I do".
By the way, Trinity licked Colleyville's ass on the playing field.

It could be a full time job.
Don't get me wrong, I like meeting new people. Thats why I got on here. But at the same time, I'm kind of a one girl at a time kind of guy so this is a little, uh, overwhelming.
You know, that really didn't sound right. Let me try this again.
In 30 days I've met 6 girls in person, Minnie. One, all the way down in Granbury. I haven't met any of them a second time. I've traded I don't know how many messages with I don't know how many girls. I would need an Excel spreadsheet to keep up with it all.
One of them lives all the way out in Garland! Based on messages, she's my favorite, but that's 40 miles away, through some of the worst traffic on planet Earth.
And that's just not my style. In 18 years of being divorced I don't think I've dated but 3 girls.And one of those wasn't even "dating". We were just friends WITHOUT benefits.
But I loved her. I sure did love her.
Besides, I'll come right out and admit it. I'm High Maintenance. I need something a little more handy than 40 miles away. Do you know what I'm talking about?
So I see you live in Lewisville, and its not the end of earth, but its further away than I have in mind.
I'm trying to figure out which one of the 6 girls I've met should I maybe meet a second time. And I just don't know. I surely do don't know.
Maybe that is the answer? There must be some reason I haven't asked a second time. Just scrap them and move on to Number Seven?
Do you really want to be Number Seven, Minnie?
I hope I'm not being rude, I'm just kind of thinking out loud here.
How long have you been on POF? What has it been like for you?
Thanks for listening!
It didnt take long to get her replay.
"That's the most honest message I've ever received. Yes, I'd love to be your Number Seven".
She's making it real hard.

I traded a few messages with her over the period of two weeks. Finally she just came out and said "So do you want to keep fishin', or would you like to meet me somewhere."
She gave me directions to a local Starbucks.
"I've used that one before" she said, and that's when I knew it was going to be hot.
I followed her back to her place, She sat on her couch, her silk blouse slightly open, her skirt rising up her legs. She patted the seat next to her, and I moved slowly towards her, felt emboldened by the way she licked her lips. I could tell she wanted me, needed me, to kiss her, our faces inches apart now and I cupped her breast and she moaned, and just as our lips were about to meet, I veered lower, and softly kissed her neck, right under her ear. She moaned louder, and I repositioned my hand on her breast, realized I barely knew this woman, and whispered in her ear:
"What's your favorite color, baby?"
Breathlessly, she whispered back "Pizza".
So we got up and went in her kitchen to make pizza.
Thats when I woke up.
That was some kind of dream.
