    I took an online class on building your brand. Clothing designer Diane Von Furstenburg gave a glass on MasterClass that I found through Facebook. Even though I represent my BnB, I found that adapting the homework was easier than I thought. It is an amazing opportunity if anyone is interested. Brand building, regardless of the business is a foremost activity.

      Thanks, Marian! I know you’re great at marketing your business, and I’ll bet you’ll be putting those lessons to good use.

    We ran a successful webinar yesterday that required us to make one piece of software talk to another. After some flailing when the setup didn’t work, I realized that “Hey, that’s what a support ticket is for!” and stopped trying to figure things out without any help. :) The fix was easy – yay! Figuring it out will also help us run webinars for a long-time client, so two problems were solved at once. Double yay!

      Awesome, Sheila! I know how hard it is to stop in the middle of wrestling with a problem. :) Technology is grand, and people can be even better!

Howdy!
