Are you overwhelmed? It's a feeling I know too well. Too many things on the to-do list and not enough hours in the day to get them all checked off. But sometimes, that overwhelmed feeling gets the best of us. It paralyzes us, so that we end up accomplishing nothing because we're so busy thinking about everything we have to do. Sinking doesn't help solve the problem, and it actually can make plenty of them worse. If things are bad now, just imagine how they'll be when you add some hungry ...

September 2016 Freelance Income Report

Another month has come and gone, so it's time to analyze the numbers. Can you really earn money working part-time from home? My answer to that is an enthusiastic, "Yes!" September was not a month of growth for me. I purposefully cut my work hours, and slowed down my pitching. As a certified teacher, I need to complete 15 quarter credits every five years to keep my certificate renewed. I picked this quarter to knock those requirements out, and have added a full load of online courses to my ...

How to Handle Business Phone Calls in a Full House

I'm not a phone person. I used to almost panic whenever my phone rang. While experience has helped me get over my fear of phones, I still don't like talking on them. But, business phone calls are occasionally necessary. When needed, I have to be able to take calls. Except, there are a lot of people living in this house. Most of them are under the age of ten. It's noisy in my house! While Grandma may not mind hearing her darling grandchildren in the background, my clients probably aren't ...

Last Modified on April 9, 2019 By Lisa Tanner

Why I Don’t Have a Strict Daily Schedule
