Five days ago I brought home the most adorable, loving and ridiculously smart little four-legged creature on the planet.
His name is Kuma and he’s a 12 week old Toy Aussie Shepherd.
“Puppies are a ton of work.”
You always hear that, but you never know exactly how much work until your knee deep in wee-pads, chew toys, treats and the overwhelming desire not to fuck up this highly impressionable little being with bad habits because you’re too busy running an online business.
(Note: Dog training books are NOT written for people who live in NYC. There’s a million dollar niche waiting for a smart infomarketer who can whip up something that’s downloadable and tailored for urban puppies that need paper training prior to being street legal.)
We’re also getting ready for the Rich, Happy & Hot Virtual Mastery Program opening up in two weeks or so. If you don’t what that is, it’s my year long coaching program that’s crazy affordable, fun and guarantees you’ll get results or I pay you your money back. Sweet, right?
Anyway, between prep for Virtual Mastery, my Mastery Gals (you ladies freaking rock), normal goofing off with Josh and my new little man Kuma, I have even less time than usual.
Rather than stressing myself out to come up with killer content for the blog, I’d rather give YOU free business/marketing/life advice right here in the form of Q & A.

If you told me 9 days ago that I could completely make-over my business from the inside out, double sales from my favorite profit center, eliminate 90% of the stress and overwhelm my team experiences AND cook ridiculously healthy and damn tasty vegetarian meals for my family every night of the week . . .
I would have thought you were a squirrel who lost her nut.
Yet, that’s exactly what’s happened.
Nine days ago I thought things were OK.
But then I got a clue things were about to melt down…

Happy, Happy 2010!
I’ve been quiet over the past few weeks, not because I don’t love ya 
, but because I’ve been recharging my batteries and taking some much needed Marie “unplugged” time.
One of the dangers of loving what you do is how incredibly addictive it becomes. Especially when you have an online business and the laptop, email and social media is always beckoning.
But right before Christmas I made a conscious decision to step away from my normal routine and spend an extended period of time doing what my mind considers “non-business” related activities.
You know, tons of time with family, friends, going shopping, watching movies, doing lots of yoga, playing games, reading fun books, learning new recipes – cool stuff like that.
(Side note: if you’re into scary movies like I am, you HAVE to go see Daybreakers when it comes out. I saw an advanced screening and it was A-freaking-mazing!!)
This unplugged time has been incredibly refreshing and probably one of the best things I could have done for my business.
In fact, a few really productive practices sprang out of this time off that I want to share with you.
