“Great entrepreneurs live in paranoia.” Robert Herjavec

This quote, from the “Shark Tank” star, points to a classic trait shared by successful entrepreneurs. We’re always at least slightly uncomfortable. Not to an extreme, debilitating point, but rather just enough to continue the process of self evolution.

Evolution is especially important in a dynamic industry such as real estate where advanced progression is a guarantee. If you’re not evolving in the business, forecasting the business cy...

Teaching fitness and training clients at a large athletic club in college, I remember the droves of people that would sign the dotted line on annual contracts, pay up front or agree to automatic debits monthly and then after a day, a week or a month would never set foot in the gym again. I often heard the management and owner say this was their "dream member." The one that pays, but never uses the facility and services they're paying for.

This is one reason I've never been huge on making New...

Baby it's cold outside and I'm fashion forecasting for sunny Spring days full of short sleeves and pops of color!

 

Tired of skinny minnie jeans? Go for flare!

 

Or stick with skinny jeans and pair with some throwback trends like hook and loop velcro strap high top shoes and acid washed jeans. Look for details like buttons, grommets and zippers not just used for function, but also fashion.

 

As always, be true to yourself and live life on your own terms, love much, laugh often, eat del...

My secret ingredient to tomato based red sauce is cayenne pepper. Add a pinch or more depending on your taste buds and those you're serving. I'm not a fan of hot and spicy foods, but I love red cayenne pepper in any red sauce for the depth of flavor.

Ingredients

o    1 lb Italian sausage, (I use mild, but you can with hot if you prefer)

o    1 lb 90% lean ground beef...

I never imagined I would be a business leader, would inspire and influence other people both within and outside the real estate industry or would be the breadwinner in my household. Often hearing I was beautiful and some man would scoop me up off my feet, I thought I would be the follower to someone else as the leader. Well, when prince charming wasn't showing up by my mid-twenties, I realized I needed to make this life work for me.

We often think that the key to our success or failure is ext...

Italian cooking is one of my specialties... surprising for someone that looks more Swedish than Italian right? ;) This lasagna is so popular that it's the one dish that is scarfed up immediately by all those around with no left overs! Try making the sauce in the slow cooker so that you can make that ahead, then assemble and bake the lasagna later.

 

Here are the ingredients you will need: 

1 1⁄2 lbs lean ground beef 

1⁄2 lb Italian sausage 

1 large onion, chopped 

2 -3 garlic clo...
