The Transition Chick Blog

Being a solo-entrepreneur doesn't have to mean doing everything solo!

This solopreneur is very proud of not being solo!  My recent bout of the flu gave me time to reflect-too weak to do much else!

As I lay huddled under 2 blankets, my web site got updated, a newsletter I'd written went out, a class I taught was rescheduled, a new product I am launching got steps closer & some articles I wrote are getting submitted as we speak!

My team of part time Virtual Assistants-a back up & my regular one, my super-dependable web designer, my brilliant audio guy & friends never let me get sick and stop my business!

No matter what, a solopreneur just can't do all-barter, pay for some help-anything!  I wrote all about this in a compilation-The Spirit of Women Entrepreneurs

How thin is too thin?

Just survived from a whopper of a flu!

I was listening to the radio & they were talking about the furor that the incredibly gorgeous Tyra Banks caused - she'd gained 30 pounds after her modeling career!  Talk about transitions!  Now, is she a slovenly has-been?  No, she's a healthy, voluptuous woman with curves!

Hey, I'd be thrilled if I had her "pudgy" figure!  Those form fitting dresses & pants tell a different story!

And, I heard that many countries are considering banning way too thin-ie: anorexic-lookiing, models from the catwalks!  A 21 year old Brazilian model-88lbs-DIED recently!  Guess, now, finally this ideal of never be too thin or to rich-might be called into question?

Many of the women I coach are dealing with staying positive-and many feel they are too fat and too old for the job search!  Then, when I probe-too fat is often 10-25 lbs!

What do you think?  How thin must you be?

In Abundance!

Do you listen to the radio?

I hope so!  Radio One-1010AM is featuring me, the Transition Chick plus Harrine Freeman, a credit repair expert for their New Beginnings Show!  It's on Friday, Jan. 19th at 2pm EST and it's a call in show-410-481-1010 in Baltimore-not sure how far it reaches.

But, I'm psyched-Taking this OnAirPublicity class with Wayne Kelly, a  radio talk  show host in  Canada, & over 5 billion listen to radio- in the car, on the commute, out shopping...I often listen when at my computer!

If you're able to tune in to 1010AM at 2pmEST this Friday-Great!  Hope to hear you!

And the Winner Is...

My brilliant contest idea may have had readers, but only 2 comments-emails directly to me.  I've contacted them.

Maybe I'll do this again in honor of Spring Cleaning? :)  Did the Golden Globes start this way?
