I'd be happy to throw my hat in the ring on a list of pointers like that.halleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09737055509606124325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-42134391324800762602009-03-02T16:36:00.000-08:002009-03-02T16:36:00.000-08:00Ever since Pepsico changed Tropicana's image we haven't bought orange juice. I really thought it was a generic brand. I'm glad they have decided to bring back the original design. It gives more life to the product.Hemanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-52496539794602952562009-02-17T17:01:00.000-08:002009-02-17T17:01:00.000-08:00Terrific post, Joelle. You made some excellent points - particularly about domestic violence. I have a feeling that those two young men needed someone to explain these facts to them. Perhaps they wouldn't be in the positions they're in now.Deb Baileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07436982612393661540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-57128165235976092882009-02-14T09:36:00.000-08:002009-02-14T09:36:00.000-08:00Hi Joelle,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind comments about The Coach Connection.

Obstacles such as competition and the economy hold us back. I sincerely admire your dedication and motivation to move to move your company ahead. I agree sometimes kind words go along way in inspiring our commitment to moving forward. I believe credential verification is an up and coming trend and the market will expand in the near future when jobseekers realize how critical it is to seperate themselves from the rest of the competition. Good Luck, your ambition alone will get you where you want to be.Michelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-76578931076227785602009-01-31T08:23:00.000-08:002009-01-31T08:23:00.000-08:00Joelle,<BR/><BR/>So sorry I did not introduce you. It was not intentional - just a crazy nite!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the kind words, but idol.. oh boy that's a lot to live up to :)<BR/><BR/>That said, I have to tell you that having been in the entrepreneurial world for quite a while - and very intensely being in the community of entrepreneurs, angel investors and VC's in the past few years, its not as bleak for women and minorities as you witnessed in the room the other nite.<BR/><BR/>While I would agree that it would be great to see the numbers of women and minorities rise, it is not non-existent, and there are a lot of great investment groups and entrepreneurs doing amazing things with women and minorities.<BR/><BR/>I think there was a report, but I couldn't find the link - so its possible that this information is just anecdotal, but there was a theory that said that women on a whole tend to build smaller profitable businesses that stay small (less risky ventures), and that men, in general take the bigger risks and try to hit the ball out of the park. That it is the male nature to want to go for the bigger risk/reward, and the female nature to go the slow and steady (nurture their business). For that reason, it APPEARS that less women are starting businesses - when in fact its just because they aren't looking for funding in the same numbers as men because they build their businesses differently.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if that's true or not - and certainly there are amazing women doing amazing things. Golden Seeds, Stephanie Hanbury Brown's angel group now spans three states and funds women led businesses. Her group funds many businesses each year - and hundreds more apply to her group - which lets you know that these women entrepreneurs are out there. There are also several funds out there dedicated to minority business owners including MAIN in Philadelphia which also funds several businesses each year. (and likewise, sees and rejects lots of minority run businesses that don't quite make the cut - but many are still businesses that will thrive nonetheless)<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, the past few months have proven that with hard work, the right message, the proper networking, and determination, that ANYONE can achieve anything. I think the ripple effect of that will start to appear in the coming years.Mark LaRosahttp://www.quotacrush.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-52094687471887187012009-01-16T19:38:00.000-08:002009-01-16T19:38:00.000-08:00A couple of weeks ago my boyfriend and I had a conversation about our cat. He asked me “What is that I see on the rug near the litter box?” I answered “That was just the cat thinking outside the box!” Our conversation made me realize how important it is to “think outside the box”. Out-of-the box thinking requires openness to new ways of seeing the world and a willingness to explore. I firmly believe, in today’s world creativity is the key to success. Creativity is a priceless tool that can lead to remarkable outcomes. Somewhere along the line, many adults have forgotten how to use their imagination to think and solve problems outside the box. We should think differently, unconventionally and from a new perspective, as Iya did. “The box” is the normal way of doing and looking at things. Iya solved her problem, by using her creativity, and apparently it worked! I belive more of us should start thinking this way, and maybe we’ll find that problem solving comes more easily. Just some food for thought.Michelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-67840948540150760512009-01-10T09:37:00.000-08:002009-01-10T09:37:00.000-08:00I love your dress! You got quite a bargain, considering how pricy Bill Blass clothing can be. I also am hardly a fan of flashy jewelry, but if you check out this website http://jewelryfromthestars.com/blog/?cat=17, you can get an idea of what stars are wearing to compliment their dresses. I don’t think the sports watch is going to cut it :)! Although it seems many of them are wearing no jewelry at all or something on the very subtle side. My suggestion is to think outside the box and use your creative thinking. Perhaps it will take you a long way. Good luck, hope this helps!Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975380712786157328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-83916318250593767352009-01-09T16:01:00.000-08:002009-01-09T16:01:00.000-08:00Hi Joelle,<BR/>After reading your blog, I decided to research dog walking. I found it truly amazing that classes are offered leading to a professional dog walking certification. There are definitely some unique job certifications that exist. Further research unveiled that people can now be certified in EcoTourism, be a professional hacker or professional shopper, or even a pet psychologist. Not to mention all of the above require a college degree. Interesting post, now-a-days people can be just about anything.Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975380712786157328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494976002500912354.post-20328535290222115942008-05-15T17:03:00.000-07:002008-05-15T17:03:00.000-07:00Joelle,<BR/><BR/>I hate to inform you but you can die quicker from sleep deprevation than from not eating!Aleksandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04029586940945603857noreply@blogger.com
