We’re in the battle of the mediums, and depending on which day you ask, determines who’s  winning. TV vs. Digital HBO vs. Netflix Broadcast News vs. Blogs …and on and on. More and more we hear why TV is a dying breed and everything we watch, will soon be online. That’s true. There will need to be an online presence for just about everything that happens on  TV, or in our modern world, or…it’s like it didn’t happen. According to Nielsen’s Total  Audience Report, about 2.6 million households are now “broadband only,” meaning they don’t  subscribe to cable or pick up a broadcast signal as of December 2014. BUT don’t send your televisions to the electronics graveyard just yet. The tube isn’t going away. It’s evolving.

I used to think the key to being successful was having tons of knowledge, having a lot of money, or being a part of the right network.I spent countless years researching, following, trying to put into practice what EVERYONE else who had already made it was doing.I kept hitting a brick wall. While I am certainly not against investing in yourself, learning from the best of the best and my circle matching my destiny, I was still missing the key component.This is the key that so many have completely bypassed.

I'll give it a BIG FAT 10!  As a nurse, I feel that people who are healthier are more effective.  You can't run a business, if you are out sick. How is that being productive?  It's not! Have you ever heard the expression &"Time is Money"Well guess what?  Time is not money. Time is time. But time is the one thing that you can never get back. So, why not live the best life that you can I can honestly say that being in business for myself, especially in the healthcare arena, has taught me a lot.There were times when I had to drag myself out of bed, because I was tired.

Not only did this cause some unwanted health issues, but in weighed in very heavily on my self-esteem. I began to withdraw from activities, because I was always ti

Transitioning from middle to high school is a tremendous step for kids. For starters, they are no longer the big kids on campus and there is no more handling holding. This is where the real evolution begins. They are given team-building projects; needing to juggle heavy workloads, homework and possibly jobs; and expected to make mature decisions. At this stage, they are learning to become adults.When my son graduated from eighth grade two years ago we had conversations about how high school would basically develop certain levels of maturity and train him for the real world. But, it will be so exciting that it will be the most memorable school years of his adolescent life.
