Who to Pay First...and fast

Always pay your auto mechanic, plumber, snow removal service and handyman FIRST and FAST.

During that monster snowstorm when folks couldn't get out of their houses, I moved around and was able to get to the office with no problem because I pay my snow remover...first and fast.

On that day, it reaped dividends.

Rest and Relaxation

Just back from St. Maarten. What a way to recharge, relax and reboot. Now I'm ready to conquer the world refreshed and revitalized. But, first, must catch up on the e-mails, snail mails and voice mails.

I'm tired from all of that!

A success!

The PR effort in Little Rock was beyond awesome. We hit every newspaper, every radio station and every TV station.

The high point was a lengthy article in the Arkansas Democrat that had photos of the Sorors and then a skip page for more and a picture of the International President. We've sent that all over the world.

It just doesn't get any better than that.

Testimony to the power of preparation and the pitch.

PR for Founders' Day

Ten days away and the PR team has gotten an appearance on an NBC affiliate for Alpha Kappa Alpha's president, Carolyn House Stewart, a radio show and an interview on the local black newspaper. We expect tons more once the pink and green hits Little Rock.

Still working

When you're in business, you lose track of holidays. What's that? Of course, Christmas is a biggie. Use the down time to catch up on projects, plan ahead and to de stress.

Breaks are needed

Just got back from Mexico. So important to have breaks...even though I brought the laptop. But, it's better to be on the beach than behind a desk working like a Trojan.

But take the lap top to keep the e-mails under control.

PR for Founders' Day

First meeting with team charged with handling PR for Founders' Day in Little Rock for AKA. I'm busy making contacts, working the list and pinning down the possibilities.
