Does YOUR Elevator Take People Up?
Who doesn't enjoy receiving kudos for a job well done, or good effort put forth, but how often do we think to dole them out to others. It's easy to get caught up in the flurry of work and home activities, and checking off the to-do list; taking dear family and friends a bit for granted.

10 Lessons I Learned From My Mother
1. Establish and stay connected to a supportive community. My mother is genuinely interested in the welfare of her family and friends. She visits with them as frequently as she can and when visits aren’t possible she calls or writes them. She is a good friend, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and cousin! She cares for others and they care for her.

“I’m sorry, I just didn’t get to it because I didn’t have enough time”
Time management has been around for as long as my grandmother has and even longer! If you as a business leader are finding that you're constantly putting out fires, running against the wind and getting nothing done, you are in need of a wake up call. The tool that I've created and use with my clients is about just that..shocking you into realising that the things you say you want are never going to happen if you keep managing your time this way.
It's Only A Money Problem: Solve Your Business Problems, Not The Symptoms
Ida, my Prussian grandmother, loved talking with friends and family. Once, after listening to a friend’s woes, she said, "Oh, it's only a money problem!" Her friend sat stunned for a minute and asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, there are health and money problems. A health problem only God can help with. A money problem is fixable by humans."
Venture Capital - Preparing The Plan
Make it so that your mother or grandmother can understand it. Entrepreneurs too often fill their business plans with of acronyms, tech terms, and buzz words. Intermediaries can usually tell after the first paragraph how difficult it will be to raise capital for your business. Condense what you do and what you want into a statement that you can make very promptly in seconds or minutes. If you cannot communicate quickly, you will lose the investor’s interest.
Know Your Market
Whether you are starting a new company, launching a new business initiative or spinning out a company, the first and most important thing you must do is know your business. I think there are two constituencies that you have to convince, other than yourself. First, you have to know your business concisely enough so that you can quickly explain it to your grandmother; so that she understands it. The second is you have to comprehensively explain it to sophisticated investors so that they are convinced it's an attractive investment. If you can do this successfully, you understand the business.
Grandma’s Lesson
Thanksgiving this year was a fabulous family affair. We had the entire crew of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. including dogs and cats romping around my aunt Cherie’s house. My grandmother was there cooking up a storm despite having had brain surgery to remove a tumor just nice months before. What a woman.
Legacy
Our family just returned from a weekend of celebrating my husband’s Grandmother’s 90th Birthday
You Have the Right to Age...Grace-fully!
You Have the Right to Age Grace-Fully! When did America become a nation afraid of aging? I worry about what we're teaching our children about growing old and our acceptance of aging...with grace...fully! I remember my beautiful grandmother. When she laughed, the world sang! She didn't have silicone breasts or a botoxed forehead, and when she gave me a kiss it didn't feel like it came from a swollen sucker fish! As a grandmother myself now, I think the best aspect of aging is perspective. It allows you to approach life with grace. I am much calmer now and seem to have more

Close the door on Opportunity?
Now you have been to this hallway before – but at that time there were some doors open, and some closed. And behind one of those doors you know is Grandfather’s study – and you have been told not to go in there. Standing at the top of the stairs, you know you must make a decision. How you wished Grandmother had been clearer on her instructions!
From Gas Engineer to Successful Business Owner...My Rocky Journey
Everyone thought I was mad. Even my Grandmother looked up at me from her deathbed and said ”Don’t do it!” the day that I announced that I was going to leave my well paid job as a gas service engineer to start my own business. Did I enjoy overnight success? NO...Read on to find out more
