I don’t even own a home phone. My cell phone is my life! When my cell dies, I feel completely shut off from the world. I get a panicky feeling knowing that I’m unreachable for a temporary amount of time. I can’t really remember what life was like before I had a cell phone- and I’m not that old!
It was a really great read- check it out…

Sales with Integrity
A good friend of mine, Anne, is trying to run an accessory business for women and children, specializing in trendy headbands.
Anne was in the beginning stages of getting started and was unsure of how to actually sell her products and where to start. She came to me last week and asked for some advice because I’ve had sales experience in the past. It was perfect timing as LearnKey had just released their Sales with Integrity course! I told her about it and why I thought it would help her- not only to better understand the sales process, but how she can implement that into her accessory business. She took me up on the offer and watched the course.
