Careers

Growing up we are always asked what we want to be when we grow up. I remember being asked this question as long as I can remember, and I always said the same thing, “President.” I assumed that meant of the USA, but it seems that job is thankless and I’d likely end up becoming […] More

Mimosas, a pool boy and endless hours of fun in the sun and freedom making working from home so worth it to me. Wait, no; that’s not right. I can’t do any of those things if I don’t actually get my work done. Oh, and those big checks I get seem super amazing, but they […] More

I don’t know about you, but I love to see others succeed. I love the feeling of watching as they achieve their goals, make it happen and really experience the kind of power and control that comes with really being successful. I love that my social media newsfeeds are filled with success stories. While some […] More

I do not miss being in an office working for someone else. I just don’t; I like working from home. I like not having people interrupting me all day long (save for my 2-year-old twins, but they’re cute so it’s not so bad). I’m not much of a people person unless you’re someone I consider […] More

For many, finding a new job is a necessity. For others, it’s something they’d like to do but are not in a big rush since they already have gainful employment and a good job. However, submitting a shoddy resume to a new company is a bad move for any hopeful employee; and sometimes the mistakes […] More

It often feels to many working Americans that you are not in control of your own career. That mindset is a killer. You are in control of your own career. You have every opportunity to do what you want to do for a living and to be the success you’ve always imagined; all you have […] More

If there is one thing we all need, it’s a job. We need our jobs and our careers for more than just a few reasons, but mostly so that we can do things like eat and pay our mortgages and care for our kids. It’s just a fact of life for the vast majority of […] More

The thing about working from home is that it’s so much more productive than anything else you will ever do; trust me. In the 14 years since I began working my first job as a tax preparer and now as a writer, I’ve learned a few things. I worked 6 years in an office for […] More

It’s no big secret that benefits packages are few and far between these days. With so many millennials choosing to work a non-traditional career path that might mean they are self-employed, freelance or only part-time at several different jobs, many have no benefits. We know that a pension is pretty much a thing of the […] More

Small business trends, like most other trends, come and go. Some are hot one moment and obsolete the next. With so many changes every year, small businesses grow and evolve more rapidly than ever, and the small business market is ever changing. Old rules are in again, new rules are no longer all that interesting […] More

People who are vastly underpaid probably know that they are being underpaid. They likely know that they are worth more, their time is worth more and their effort is worth more, but they do nothing to negotiate a higher salary more worthy of their time and efforts. It’s a very common occurrence, particularly when it […] More
