Our friend Zeke Camusio, CEO of The Outsourcing Company says we should lower our expectations if we want to achieve happiness. Evaluate all your aspirations and decide which ones you want to put the most energy into. Every other aspiration is not forgotten, it just gets less attention. We love this quote,
“You spend much more time in the journey than you do at the destination. Do you want to sacrifice three years of joy for one day of happiness?”
Try on the ‘take it easy’ shoes for a week. Instead of putting the pedal to the metal, just cruise. Keep your mind clutter-free and focus on the one goal you know you’ll get the biggest satisfaction from.

On Steven Greenberg’s radio show, “Your Next Job”, Julie Pickens discusses what it takes to launch a product and keep it moving forward. With co-founder Mindee Doney, they put together their marketing and retail sales backgrounds to get their product on the shelves and into the hands of happy consumers. This radio chat covers several questions such as how you can advertise on a small budget, getting your product into retail, securing a patent, and raising money. Steven also asks how you can take the first steps toward starting your own business and what will be the most challenging step along the way.
“We believe motherhood is boot camp for running a business. Whether you want a big business or a small one, a home office or sky rise, you are halfway there when you embrace your strengths as a mom and pack them for your journey as a business owner.”
