I'm just no good! :))

I know the point of being on a network is to...... network. I'm supposed to be contributing info that will help us grow together. Well, I'm sad to admit that up to this point, I haven't held up my end of the bargain and I sincerely apologize. Now that I've got that out of the way, here's my chance to make it up to you. As a rule...I NEVER pass along ANY info that I'm not using myself. Since you have a website, you know that the bottomline goal is to ma… Continue

Normally, I don't blog...........

...........however, today, I'm gonna make an exception! I'm Kerri, founder/CEO of OASIS COSMETICS AND NATURAL SKIN HEALING. Of course, you already know that networking involves ALOT of e-mailing and commenting back and forth. Event invites here, forums there, etc. How's that working out for you? My husband and I started a business that is THE answer to key obstacles I have personally found with my networking habits. IF YOU SEND ME YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, I WILL SEND YOU SOMETHING THAT W… Continue

A Comments from one of our readers:
Thank you for allowing a platform of expression for the Home Girl, CEO.
You and your vision are both absolutely FABULOUS!
As far As my home based business, I haven't completely taking the plunge but, I'm 90% there!

Here's my thing:
I can no longer fall victim to a work place that has not set up ample respect for the single mom! My last job wanted me to work from 4pm-1am. In my opinion, they were telling me to forget about my family, and forget about having a life and let someone else raise your child!
To me, that's truly unacceptable as well as, on the other hand, motivating.
I can't continue to do the same thing and get the same results. I think they call that "insanity", right!
For me, that was a serious wake up call. So now, I'm working through this thing called "fear" and it's been a douzie! However, I plan to succeed at all cost.
I have too! I'm not giving myself any other option and you shouldn't either.
Always remember that we come from a background of strong survivors that would do anything for the price of freedom, even risk loosing their lives.
So , on that note, lets expect to succeed. Let's plan, organize, and execute! Let's be that person that we are waiting to show up! Let's do the do! Let's make a committment to hold each other accountable for success. I'll take the stand first.
