…to go with my strengths.  After over 15 years of marketing and ecommerce experience, I know what I’m good at, and what I enjoy doing. 

Over the past year I’ve made the crazy transition from a corporate marketing job to working for myself (and my kids, and my house, and so on).  Well, let’s just say it’s been a transition full of ups and downs, but more ups than downs.  But I’m proud to declare that I think I’ve figured out how to juggle it all (within reason), and I really enjoy what I do.

So what do I do?  Good question.  While it seems that I’m doing a lot of different things, they’re all related.  My blogging feeds into my local home staging business and online forum.  And along the way I’m writing a book documenting my journey.  Sort of a “lessons learned” for anyone else considering making this crazy (yet amazing) leap.

So why did I get such a self-serving and long domain name here?  (Note: If you were a Smith, you’d have to settle for a long one too!)  It’s because I want to help people get their ideas off the ground and be as successful as possible. 

No, I’m not a “coach” and I’m probably the only person on Twitter who is not a self-declared “Social Medial Expert.”  I’m just a marketer who has learned first-hand what works and what doesn’t.

Not that I need another blog to maintain {mild eye roll}, but I plan to post some summaries of my lessons learned here, which hopefully will help others.
