In the Beginning…
FROM OUR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS… Today is just a wee bit of a brag fest, still in keeping with the July Theme (Founder’s Day) which is a time to celebrate your beginnings, your progress, but most especially the clients and customers that have allowed you to survive, possibly even thrive. But just for today, I will let some of my own excitement spill over, because I can’t wait for the celebrations to begin. If you missed out on past membership drives, well you will have another opportunity. July 22nd is our Anniversary. One year in the dream state (2007) and two years in ...

CREATING VALU-ABLE EVANGELISTS FOR YOUR BUSINESS! After all has been said and done, I think the true degree of value-added equates to the experience that the end user has when they use your product or service.

Value: It’s All About the Image You Present
In continuing this month’s discussion about the value-added proposition, no list would be complete unless we also talked about things that detract from value.

Why Must All My Life Lessons be Expensive Ones?
I have such a zest for life and all things bright and beautiful that sometimes, well, sometimes I jump into things that I wish I hadn’t.

Are You Still Looking Out for No. 1? What About No. 2 & 3?
Have you ever attended a networking event with the intention to find connections for someone else? Most likely not because that’s not what we’re taught to do. We’re taught that we should stuff our pockets with business cards, throw our shoulders back, put our game face on and let the hunt begin! If we’re able to muster up any courage ...

I am deeply ashamed…
Well yes, certainly I've been involved in that crazy thing called "life" with all its quirky little ups and downs, but how could I abandon my beautiful blog for 8 months?? I have so many things to tell you and yet, not one word written! Well I am back! And Pink Passport Society is back. We are officially on fire. I have ...
