Comment by Charlene Whitt on March 16, 2010 at 2:34pm: HELLO BIG THINKERS! I'm new to this but all feedback is appreciated. My passion is for fashion. I have binders and portfolios full of sketches yet I don't sew and don't have alot of funds to pay a seamstress, there is so much that goes into it and I did two semesters of college (for something I wasn't passionate about) but didn't finish so I don't know which way to go now. I am always coming up with business ideas and writing business plans for them but am terrified to let people know because i've had people steal my ideas and make millions but had no way to prove it was originally my idea! I definetly want to give back 2 the world and know my ideas I have at home collecting dust are worth millions, even billions of dollars...WHAT SHOULD I DO? WHO DO I GO TO? HOW CAN I PITCH THESE OR SELL THEM OFF? Any ideas, i'm lost?

Comment by Patrece Snow on May 19, 2009 at 9:16am: Oh it is a challenge for sure trying to balance self employment and working from home. I find that my children (both adults mind you) seem to think because I am home I am available to them at any moment. I guess they are not taking me & my passion for my work seriously. Any suggestions for me on how to get them to respect what I am doing & take it seriously?

Comment by Judy Szamos on May 18, 2009 at 11:03pm: Thanks for sharing...I love tohang out with strong, determined, brave, powerful women....you sound like one. Best!

Comment by Kim Mowatt on May 18, 2009 at 8:27pm: I agree! For me it is putting my friendships,supports and alliances at the top of the list, as that is the creative energy that brainstorms new and fresh ideas. I can then tackle the top of the to do list with a fresh perspective. Smelling the roses is so very important.....when I lived on Saltspring Island we called it "time on the water"

Comment by Judy Szamos on May 18, 2009 at 7:36pm: Ah, yes, time management for the self-employed + working out of the house, a dual challenge.....I found the principles of the "7 habits" by Covey a good start. What I do for myself is: make a list every day of what has to get done and what would be nice to get done, and just do it, I clean up the list daily. Then I ask myself what is the highest and best use of my time, Then the big one for me: I sit and meditate every day to stay centered and focused on what is important. Keeps life in perspective and allows me to smell the roses:)

Comment by Kim Mowatt on May 18, 2009 at 5:23pm: I have turned my passion for horses into a home business and loving it! What I am working on is time management, and marketing-it has become an exciting adventure in personal growth.

Comment by Judy Szamos on April 28, 2009 at 1:31am: I love it! This is part of what I do for a living, helping people live their passion and make money at it. Check out my web site, basic but it says what it needs to say, at least for now... www.workingSoulfully.com . I am a believer, a practitioner and a supporter of this concept.
