Careproviders Assistance Services, Inc.Mom-e-Preneurs | Know Your Worth | S2 E28We all know that salaried women earn less on average than men, but a business owner, especially one who provides professional services, is in the unique position to set her own rate. Ask for what you are worth and do not hedge or apologize when you are not the best bargain around. Standing firm about your rates sets a tone in the business relationship that you take your time seriously and know how that time should be valued. If a potential client does not agree, your precious time is better served elsewhere. 2019-05-0128 minCareproviders Assistance Services, Inc.Mom-e-Preneurs | Nipsey Hussle | S2 E27Who are you surrounding yourself with? Are you equally yoked; do they have your back? You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

I do not want to make too grandiose a claim, but there are personality predictors to parenting. We parent with our personalities far more than we think. We look at our children and there is a landscape of facts; we view these facts objectively and we draw a conclusion. We feel our children should know how to do something or understand something because we do. It does not work that way because there are too many facts and variables. Let's explore. 2019-01-0726 minCareproviders Assistance Services, Inc.Mom-e-Preneurs |Becoming Me | S1 E22Who are you and who are you looking forward to BECOMING in 2019?

Unlike the Gen-Xers and the Baby Boomers, the millennials have developed work characteristics and tendencies from doting helicopter parents. "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise." This quote may read like an older worker talking about Millennials, but it's actually attributed to Socrates over 2,000 years ago. The quote echoes the conventional wisdom about millennials in the workplace: they are lazy, narcissistic, entitled, job hoppers it is...2018-08-2756 minCareproviders Assistance Services, Inc.Mom-e-Preneurs | Pros and Cons of Niche Marketing | S1 E18There are a number of advantages and disadvantages of niche marketing.

That is a brand. A brand is anything - a symbol, design, name, sound, reputation, emotion, employees, tone and much more... that separates one thing from another. In the case of McDonald's, the golden arches became part of the brand. Those arches separate their products from all other fast food restaurants and they're a recognizable symbol even with kids. Two brands died this week and our hearts are broken...

The first step to change is awareness. If you do not know there is a problem, you can never exact change. Your desire to be successful or your desire to be wealthy does not always translate into your ability to put in the work.

Careproviders Assistance Services, Inc.Mom-e-Preneurs | Energy | S1 E5The way you start something, often times dictates the way you finish. Recall 6th grade when you were in environmental science. We learned about potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is just stored energy. That's a bomb just waiting to go off. Kinetic energy is energy in motion; its the power released when the bomb actually explodes. Everyone of us is full of energy/potential.
