A good cup of coffee comes from an excellent roast of beans. My favorite comes from Coffee AM and is called expresso gold. Start with ice cold filter water and a quality expresso machine. Brew a triple shot of expresso and add just a tad of pumpkin creamer and you have a bit of heaven in your coffee cup!

What makes that cup of joe even better? A lazy saturday morning to sip it on. Sitting out on the back porch maybe. Or better yet in your best friends kitchen. Coffee is always better shared.

It’s that time of year. I am getting home sick for family and friends.  Be seeing you soon!

I have several addictions. The obvious ones, chocolate and coffee of course. The othere ones are news and blogging. As I sit here blogging I have on FOX News. My homepage prominant displays current news. I am addicted, and I really don’t want a 12 step program. I like being addicted.

So here is a great blog I have visited. Gimmie the Scoop. A blog full of news items! The Business Blog has the top 10 gadgets for business and consumers. This is right up my techie little creek. I love new gadgets. That transformer phone looks so cool! not to mention the VOIP phone. That Nokia cell phone looks almost as cool as my new LG ENVY. Gimmie the Scoop has other great categories to include news, real estate and finance. I have subscribed to their RSS feed and have added it to my daily reads. Just more information to go into  my head and give me more ideas for things to write on!

Well due to things beyond my control I am going to have to push back my launch date. I can’t be in two places at once, so I am pushing back Soap of Course to Oct 15 and Market What You Make Unitl Oct 20th.

Why? Well I want to be at home when I launch it. I truly thought that I would be at least on my way home, but chances are now that I won’t. If I had a few more hours in a day, and if New York was closer to Georgia I may be able to pull it off.

I have a lot of people ask me how I do it. I have 3 kids at home that I homeschool, I work part time doing contract writing, I am starting a successful business (positive attitude there). This goes back to the last topic I think.

I think scheduling and to-do list are really key here. Carrie Lauth had a great article on her blog - A Monthly Schedule for Business Works for Me. I have to find a schedule that works for me.

No one schedule is right for everyone. But using someone elses as a framework for your own can be a big help, especially when you are first starting your schedule.

Finding a schedule or routine that is right for you and your business is key. And even if you work for someone else at home, you are still in business for yourself. Find that happy balance in your life!

Well I am off to find my balance for the day. It is Friday after all. And know that even though I am pushing back the date it will be up shortly!!!
