No One Can Do It Alone: Find Your Tribe

By Allie | 10 comments

What do all these have in common?

A  baseball team, a car, an athlete, and coffee?

All these things took a group of people to get a job done.   

Blogging Teamwork

–>The baseball team depends on each position, coaches and management to win.

–>A car takes a company and its workers to get it built.

–>An athlete has a group of people to thank for her accomplishments- parents, coaches and friends.

–>Even the coffee you drink would not be in your mug if the grower, the pickers, the transporter and the store didn’t work together so you can brew it every morning.

People learned long ago that teams work more efficiently to accomplish a goal than just one person alone.  This is a fact.  Most tasks in life take a team of people to accomplish.

So then why are you still working all by yourself?  Why have you not joined or started your team?

Why are you blogging and running your mom business all by yourself?

What a waste of my time.

The blogger got my attention but I doubt he or she will build a thriving audience. I’m not coming back. It is obvious he or she is building a site not a community.  They simply want traffic to click on the ads,

Transitioning from Blogger to WAHM: Preparing Myself, My Readers and My Blog

By Allie | 29 comments

This post is somewhat of a transition post.  Hopefully it is taking me (and you) from learning and knowing about blogging to learning and implementing online income tactics.

Of course, I will never stop learning about blogging and talking to you about it.  But I need to change direction and focus.

It is time for a change.

Next Steps for Me Streamlining RWAHM

Right now I am working on streamlining my blog, meaning I am making it faster and more user friendly.  I am doing this to prepare myself for my online income journey.  I mean, I can’t move on when the house I built is in shambles. Right?

Online Income

During the past few months I have not worked very hard on building an income that I can use to help my family prosper more.  Frankly speaking, I am angry at myself.  This is the main reason I came online back in 2010.

Yet I can’t be
