How to Write a Press Release that Gets Results

A press release is a good way to announce something big about a business. Business owners may use a press release to tell about how their company raised money for a local charity or about how new technology they are using will impact the community. A press release is a tool by which a business owner can advertise their business without actually trying to sell to customers.

When writing a press release the business owner needs to keep in mind that news editors are not looking for an advertisement of a business.

Work at Home Moms: Let Go of the Guilt

Many people who work from home know what it's like to get lost in "the zone" creating new things for their businesses. They also know what it's like to come out of this flow state and discover their homes transformed into what my mother refers to as a "pig sty."

Many view the chaotic wake left behind a flow state and berate themselves for neglecting their family or other responsibilities. Especially work at home moms tend to feel incredible guilt that they're bad mothers and that their businesses are robbing their family time. 

Still others become frustated when they can't always be "on." They'll have times when ideas and productivity are flowing, but then other times, they can't bring themselves to think of a single new idea or do what's necessary in their businesses. The following video outlines the stages of the creative process that every entrepreneur should know. Please know that the self-doubts and guilt-trips are rarely deserved! They are just part of the process – part of the natural ebb and flow.

In an upcoming course, I'll be teaching entrepreneurs how to minimize the chaotic wake and work with this cycle for a maximum business harvest. I'd love to hear your thoughts, comments and experiences about this cycle! Please leave your comments below.
