Official Shortcuts for Home and Business Expert - Debbye Cannon
Debbye knows what it’s like to be overwhelmed. Twenty-five years ago she had two kids in diapers, a husband in the military, a growing home-based business...and a terrible habit of saying “Yes” every time someone asked her to do something. It wasn’t long before she had a breakdown on her sticky kitchen floor. Now, Debbye's sharing the... Shortcuts That Saved Her Sanity . . . and has since helped women all over the country take control of their chaotic lives. Visit her online at TheShortcutExpert.com
I’ll definitely have to take a look at Debbye’s website! It can be such a burden and such a blessing to be a mompreneur. She’s learned to balance her work life and time with the kids, without making any sacrifices. And most importantly, she's learned to say "no!" A lot of beginning WAHMs believe that enveloping yourself in a home based business may take away from crucial time with the kids, but that’s exactly why you’re there! Working from the computer keeps you close to those you love, and available to make time whenever it’s needed. I’ve just taken my business to the internet using Microsoft’s new Office Live Small Business, have you heard of it? It’s a great tool for any entrepreneur, mompreneur, WAHM, whatever you want to call it, and I know from personal experience that it can benefit your business in more ways than one. It comes with an organized e-mail system that checks the status of sent e-mails, consolidates your invoices, and sends you weekly traffic reports to your website. Speaking of which, regardless of your web design knowledge, you can make a nifty website with OLSB’s easy-to-use page layout designer. I don’t know the first thing about HTML and I designed a fabulous page for myself!
You can read more about it at http://smallbusiness.officelive.com
One of the best parts, in my opinion, is that you get a free “.com” domain name! This adds a touch of class and professionalism to your page that will impress consumers and keep them coming back. I wouldn’t preach about OLSB if I didn’t believe in its valuable benefits. Give it a try for yourself, and if you or any readers have any questions, I work with Microsoft and would be more than happy them for you! My personal e-mail address is [email protected]. Thank you again for referring me to the website, hope to be in touch!
Best,
Kimberly
