If it wasn’t for my chiropractor, Dr. Nick McGregor, I’d be walking on all fours. Seriously. I can’t imagine the pain and discomfort I’d be in if it weren’t for the adjustments I’ve received from Nick over the years.
There are times when I have minor aches — the kind I can resolve with stretching, yoga, or sleep. When I won’t be able to heal myself, I know it: I feel a lack of strength in the affected area; I sleep poorly; I’m not able to perform simple daily tasks; getting dressed is a challenge. At times like those, I don’t hesitate to schedule a chiropractic appointment because I know my condition is not going to get better on its own.

Even in today’s environment of reduced and slower federal government spending, there are still plenty of opportunities for small businesses to grow, while serving the taxpayer and improving constituent services at the same time.

One of the recent initiatives is the Small Business Administration (SBA) Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) set-asides. This is also known as the 8(m) program. This program became a regulation in early 2011, but the broader WOSB community is still learning about it. In a nutshell, the federal government now has a requirement to award 5% of its contracting dollars to WOSB/EDWOSB firms.

In last week’s Blog Talk Radio interview with productivity expert Claudine Motto — How To Stay Productive Beyond January — she said that productivity for solopreneurs often falters after the first month of the year because we lose sight of the new goals we have set.
I told Claudine that recently I printed and placed next to my computer a copy of Stephen Covey’s “quadrants” as a way to help me prioritize my time. The small sign is a humble (yet powerful) motivator.
I want to give you a heads-up regarding a free email-reminder tool that I’ve begun using. It’s called FollowUpThen.com and so far I really like it.
If you struggle with remembering to get back to people on anything in your business or personal life, FollowUpThen makes it possible to easily schedule email follow-up reminders.
I’m using the free version. A premium version ($24/year) is available and it enables you to schedule SMS notifications.
This is a video demonstration of how FollowUpThen works.

I work with many aspiring and new solopreneurs who feel like they are drowning in too much information and too many choices. Oftentimes, these solos don’t know whom to trust and don’t know whose products and services will be worth the investment.
One way to reduce the number of choices is to eliminate from consideration anyone who has a combination of these words in an online profile: “millionaire,” “system,” “six figures,” “wealth,” “fast,” “simple,” “free,” “proven,” “risk-free,” “guaranteed.”
