Pami Pockets Celebrates 13 Years!

Working Women — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 15:23:15 GMT

Pami Pockets: Revolutionizing Convenience and Style for Women On-the-Go

Tampa, FL – [Date] – Pami Pockets, the innovative and fashionable solution for carrying cell phones without the need for pockets, is excited to share its story of inception and success. Founded by Visionary Pamela Frenchin 2011, Pami Pockets offers women a stylish way to keep their phones within reach. Pamela transformed a simple necessity into a thriving business. In the past 13 years, Pami Pockets has sold over 30,000 units and is featured in dozens of stores including a prominent national chain of casinos.

The journey of Pami Pockets began when the founder, in search of a solution to carry her flip phone, repurposed a little round change purse bought at a yard sale. When the purse could no longer accommodate her upgraded phone, her husband crafted a custom bag in their upholstery shop. This small black bag became an essential daily accessory. The significance of the bag was truly realized during an incident at Lowry Park, where it allowed the founder to quickly call for help when her mother fell and injured herself. This incident highlighted the life-saving potential of the product for women walkers.

Inspired by "The Secret" and the teachings of Bob Proctor, coupled with insights from Tim Ferris's "The 4-Hour Workweek," Pamela took the bold step of leaving her secure job as a Legal Secretary to pursue her vision. With the guidance and support from the Tampa Bay Inventors Council, Pami Pockets evolved from a simple convenience to a fashionable necessity. The company has expanded its product line to include neoprene cell phone purses in various colors and designs, including rhinestone initials and symbols, to cater to the diverse preferences of its customers.

Pami Pockets has continually adapted to meet the needs of its customers. The introduction of larger bags with the release of the iPhone 6 and the upcoming "Pami Purse" designed to hold more than just a cell phone are testaments to the company's commitment to innovation. Pamela French serves as Vice President of the Tampa Bay Inventors Council and is a proud Working Women of Tampa Bay member. She also supports local nonprofits by donating Pami Pockets for fundraising efforts.

As Pami Pockets celebrates its 13th business anniversary, Pamela is donating 20 Pami Pockets to Dress for Success Tampa Bay. The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.

“Reaching this milestone is a testament to the power of believing in your idea and just taking action on it,” Pamela shared. “I love supporting women because the world needs a little more of what women have to offer in their gentleness, empathy, and sensitivity. Being around women for "work" is not only fun and fulfilling but also the atmosphere I put myself in is not just financially beneficial, it's therapeutic!”

About Pami Pockets
Pami Pockets provides stylish and practical solutions for carrying cell phones, especially for those without pockets. Founded on the principles of convenience and safety, the company has grown to offer a variety of designs that cater to individual styles and needs.

FIVE KEYS TO BOOST YOUR BODY’S DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND EMPOWER YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

The most critical component of the immune system is the lymphatic system—it's vital for protecting us from illness and disease-causing inflammation. Basically, the lymphatic system is an inner “drainage system” of the body. It's a crisscrossing network of lymph nodes and blood vessels that transport fluids from the blood and into tissues around the body and vice versa. While the primary role of the lymphatic system is to protect the body against threats—such as infections and cancer cells—it also keeps fluid levels in balance. Oftentimes, people overlook the fact that obesity or being overweight can have a significant impact on lymphatic drainage.

Neurologist Deborah Boland, D.O., MSPT, Named “Physician of the Year”

Thu, 19 Dec 2019 14:50:57 GMT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Neurologist Deborah Boland, D.O., MSPT, Named “Physician of the Year”

TAMPA, FL (December 17, 2019) – The Hillsborough County Osteopathic Medical Society (HCOMS) has named Dr. Deborah Boland, D.O., MSPT, Neurologist, Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and owner of Be Mobile Neurology, as their "Physician of the Year" for 2019. This prestigious award is presented to a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) who has made significant contributions to both the osteopathic profession and the local community. Dr. Boland is one of only a handful of Movement Disorder specialists in the Tampa Bay area and is a pioneer in the mobile delivery of neurological services.

Dr. Boland said, “I am so honored and humbled to be recognized by my colleagues and friends with this award. Healthcare is rapidly changing, and I’m proud to be leading the movement back to patient-centered, individualized care. Through my practice, Be Mobile Neurology, I am working to offer a more personalized and affordable approach to healthcare, improving outcomes for my patients.”

Over the course of her medical career, Dr. Boland witnessed the limitations and stress that traditional physician office visits placed on both patients with neurological issues and their caregivers. Through in-home visits and telemedicine, Be Mobile Neurology presents a solution, offering patients a membership model for healthcare services that allows them to receive focused attention in a comfortable setting. Be Mobile Neurology is the only mobile neurology practice in Tampa Bay and is leading trends nationally.

Dr. Boland started in healthcare as a Physical Therapist, receiving her master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, and practicing for 10 years before going to medical school. Dr. Boland earned her medical degree from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine, which has a rich osteopathic history and is one of the oldest osteopathic medical schools in the country.

Following medical school, she completed her internship and neurology residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine/OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. Dr. Boland went on to complete fellowship training specializing in Movement Disorders at Duke University, and she served as an Assistant Professor of the Movement Disorders Center at Georgia Regents University’s Department of Neurology.

The Magical Healing Properties of Trees by Dr. Cesar Lara

Thu, 12 Dec 2019 04:01:41 GMT

EVER WONDER WHY GOING ON A WALK IN NATURE SURROUNDED BY LUSCIOUS GREENERY FEELS SO GOOD?

Sure, it may be the fresh crisp air that fills our lungs and offers a release to polluted air that invades our living spaces from big cities to small towns all around the world.

But why do we feel that way? Is there more to it than meets the senses?

New scientific research is starting to emerge backing the restorative and healing benefits of being in nature.

In Japan, a walk in the forest is commonly prescribed as preventative health care. “Shinrinyoku” as it is referred to in Japanese literally translates as “forest bathing” or “taking in the atmosphere of the forest.” This practice promotes walking and spending time in the forest as a way to improve overall health and has been embraced as a nature therapy in other cultures as well. It is said to have numerous physiological (1) and psychological (2) benefits.

A forest’s capacity to exhibit healing properties comes from the evergreen trees ability to release phytoncides(3), or naturally produced allelochemic substances, that act like pheromones.  Pheromones present as external hormones capable of impacting the behaviour of individuals on the receiving end. In nature, these chemicals repel insects and slow the growth of bacteria and fungi. However, human exposure to phytoncides are scientifically proven to lower blood pressure, relieve stress, and boost anti-cancer white blood cell count. These phytoncides are commonly found in potent aromatic plants like garlic, onion, oak, pine, and tea tree.

BENEFITS:

REDUCES STRESS

Forest bathing seems to be beneficial as it reduces, stress, the root cause of a variety of physical ailments including but not limited to: high blood pressure, headaches, diabetes, asthma, and arthritis. This is because the practice of forest bathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system which prompts rest and energy conservation. It also reduces cortisol levels (4) and other stress hormones associated with anxiety, heart disease, weight gain and memory impairment.

A study found that forest walks (5) compared to urban walks showed a 12.4% decrease in cortisol, a 7% decrease in sympathetic nerve activity, and a 1.4% decrease in blood pressure

BOOSTS IMMUNE SYSTEM

Stress compromises the immune system by supressing the naturally produced antiviral killer (NK) cells in the body. However, since forest bathing reduces stress hormone levels it consequently impacts the immune system in a positive manner by increasing the natural killer cell (6) count and expresses anti-cancer proteins.

IMPROVES OVERALL SENSE OF WELL BEING

Being in nature provides increased awareness and grounding qualities that can lead to a state of relaxation. This has proven to be most helpful for those suffering from anxiety or depression (7) .  “Forest bathing” can also increase concentration, creativity, liveliness, and vigour.

How to:

Get to your nearest forest or park

Turn off your phone

Wander at a slow pace, without direction for around 2 hours (but don’t get lost)

Stop and take in the atmosphere and aromas of the forest

Touch the trees, streams and soil

Allow for silence

Be present

***Watch out for poisonous plants, berries, and herbs

The Power of Breath by Dr Cesar Lara

Working Women — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 20:06:40 GMT

Stress and anxiety from daily matters can wreak havoc on the body. The constant “always on the go” mentality found in modern American society often overlooks one simple yet extremely effective technique to settle the mind. This method is free, accessible anywhere, anytime, and offers an alternative to pharmaceutical medications.

That is the power of the breath.

Breathe is vital. It is what keeps us alive, our heart pumping, and our blood circulating. It is what brings us back to the present moment.

By focusing on the breath it enables the mind to clear itself of distractions, provide a greater ability to remain calm in crisis (1), aid in decision making (2), and express stronger interconnectivity (3) among all life forces. Through mindful breathing, the body is able to obtain significant mental and physical health benefits.

This may already sound familiar to you as these ancient eastern practices become widely popularized and integrated into western culture through various mind-body interventions (MBIs) such as yoga, tai chi, and meditation. Each of these meditative techniques allows one to slow their brain waves, decrease heart rate, lower blood pressure, and tap into their unconscious mind.

But how exactly does it work?

Within each breath is a respiratory biofeedback loop between the heart and lungs that determines either the activation of your ‘flight-or-fight’ response or your ‘rest-and-digest’ response.

The inhale and exhale function of the breathing process (4) activates different parts of the nervous system. During the inhalation portion, blood is drawn to the lungs from the heart causing the body to overexert itself in order to pump blood throughout the rest of the body. As a result, the heart beat accelerates and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is activated. The SNS initiates the ‘fight-or-flight’ response which pumps adrenaline, cortisol, and other stress hormones that fuel anxiety. These stress hormones alter the body by slowing metabolism and increasing blood pressure and heart rate. On the other hand, blood returns from the lungs to the body during the exhalation portion stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), which acts as a biological break allowing your body to ‘rest-and-digest’. This aspect of the PNS, also referred to as respiratory vagus nerve stimulation (rVNS) (5) counteracts the fight-or-flight response by calming the autonomic nervous system and improving heart rate variability (HRV).

The inhalation/exhalation ratio that occurs within each breath cycle plays a crucial role in heart regulation and overall health. The fluctuation of the beat-to-beat intervals of a heart rate is known as heart rate variability (HRV) (6). It has been found that higher HRV is associated with lower chronic stress levels, improved cognition, and better overall health. It is also a means to index the vigour of vagus nerve responses and vagal tone (VT).

The Vagus Nerve

The vagus nerve (7) is the longest nerve in the human body with multiple branches beginning at the brainstem and extending through just about every major organ in a wandering route down to the lowest intestines. It is the communicative channel that sends messages between the mind, brain, and gut. The vagus nerve is responsible for the calming effect of intentional breathing methods and explains the efficacy of the effects of contemplative practices on health and cognition.

During each exhalation, the vagus nerve releases the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (Ach) into the bloodstream. This neurotransmitter was first discovered by German Nobel-Prize winning physiologist, Otto Loewi, in 1921. At the time, it was referred to as vagusstoff (or vagus substance). Heart rate variability (HRV) was able to effectively measure that once this vagusstoff was released, heart rate intervals instantly decreased, and the nervous system calmed. This is what is referred to as the “relaxation response.”

The Relaxation Response

One of the most effective and easiest ways to calm your mind and body is to activate this ‘relaxation response’ (8). The relaxation response can improve hypertension, insomnia, PMS, symptoms of menopause, pain, infertility, and cardiac arrythmias. It consists of two basic steps found in various meditative practices worldwide. The first step is through the repetition of either sound, words, prayer, phrase, or movement. The second involves the passivity of daily thoughts or distractions meaning to recognize any thoughts that may arise and let them pass through just as they had come.

Breathing Practices

One widely popular yogic breathing (pranayama) practice is diaphragmatic breathing (9) or deep breathing. This type of breathing switches the constriction of the breath from the throat to the diaphragm, located between the thoracic and abdominal cavities. In this type of breathing, air enters the lungs and the belly expands rather than the chest. This type of breathing is beneficial (10) as it lowers the effects of stress hormones like cortisol, lowers hearth rate and blood pressure, decreases oxygen demand, and strengthens the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic breathing can even be used as a coping mechanism for people with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (11).

The 1:2 Inhale/ Exhale Ratio

Since acetylcholine (Ach) is released during the exhale, one way to ensure more vagus substance is released is to make your exhale slow and longer than your inhale. This slows your heart rate allowing your body more time for self-regulation and the ability to maintain homeostasis. The exhalation also releases toxins like carbon dioxide and any stale air that no longer serves you.

A simple way to keep count on inhalations and exhalations is to use the 1:2 ratio. Along with diaphragmatic breathing, inhale through the nose a set number of seconds. Then, purse your lips as you would blow a whistle and double the inhale count for your exhale. So, if the inhale is for three seconds then the exhale should be 6 seconds, if the inhale is 4 seconds then exhale for 8 seconds and so on and so forth.

Conclusion

These types of breathing exercises can be practiced on your own time just about anywhere. Even just a few slow conscious breaths can show significant improvement in overall health and cognition. Mindful breathing can not only bring pure awareness back to the present moment, but also to our own feeling and physical being. It can balance emotions, heighten awareness and intuition, and provide patience whilst improving concentration. Research suggests that this kind of breathing can even make you wiser (12) and live a longer more grounded life.

So, the next time stress or anxiety comes up just take a moment to breathe and exhale it all away.

Dr. Cesar Lara has been voted “Best Health Program” for 10 years! helping thousands of patients achieve their goals. Dr. Lara has introduced Formnovélle to complement the practice focusing on fat reduction in stubborn areas including abdomen, thighs, arms among other troublesome areas. Formnovélle combines optimal supplementation, nutritional guidance, lipotropic injections and advanced green light Verju laser therapy. Verju safely causes the release of fatty lipids from within the fat cells, causing them to collapse and shrink, which in turn reduces the circumference or the size of the stubborn and challenging fat accumulating areas of the body. Once the fatty lipids are released, the body uses them for energy which are ultimately excreted through the lymphatic system of the body, resulting in fat loss. It is non-invasive, no discomfort, no down time with no side effects. This therapy allows you to reduce 4”-6” in as little as 2 weeks!

How to Make Attainable and Reasonable New Year's Resolutions

Working Women — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:27:02 GMT

Dr Cesar Lara

It is a New Year, a white canvas, a time to reflect and set your sights, your vision on what you would like to accomplish in 2019. New year's resolutions are extremely popular. The majority of Americans make them, but the success rate(1) is estimated to be less than ten percent.

Losing weight and getting in shape are by far the most popular resolutions, yet despite the increase in traffic at most health clubs and gyms, the ability to maintain the focus and achieve lasting results is often limited, for it is not a quick fix but a lifestyle transformation. Here’s some simple tips to making lasting transformation this new year.

How to Make Attainable and Reasonable New Year's Resolutions

Instead of going with the same old weight loss resolution, try setting different goals that will bring meaningful wellness to your life. Methods that don't involve self-deprivation are not only easier to follow but are more enjoyable and beneficial, and you may find that you will actually lose weight!

Set Goals for Success

Writing down your resolution without creating a plan on how to achieve the resolution can be problematic. To easily create goals that will stick follow the SMART goal format — goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

Specific means a targeted area that needs improvement. Measurable denotes that you can quantify it, or at least measure your progress. Attainable indicates that it’s a realistic goal for you to accomplish. Relevant means that it’s a worthy goal that matches what you want to achieve with your life. Time-bound signifies that you’ve set deadlines. You can apply the SMART goal format to any of the resolution topics discussed below.

Diet

Are you planning on banning your favorite treat? This may backfire and cause you to binge. Alternatively, make peace with your food triggers. Have that piece of chocolate occasionally instead of setting yourself up for failure.

Check in with your diet. This could mean asking yourself if you're eating the most nutrient-dense foods possible. Are you including superfoods, like bone broth and fermented foods?

If you want to create a SMART goal related to food, it could be something like this, “I will eat three servings of fermented foods every week for six weeks.” This goal is specific, attainable, and set for a determined amount of time.

Exercise

Create an exercise plan that rejoices in lifelong health benefits. Exercise is definitely a New Year's resolution that you need to come up with specific changes that you want to make. Saying that you're going to "exercise more to lose weight" is not measurable or specific. This goal is poorly worded.

Actionable examples of specific exercise goals are, “I will exercise a minimum of 150 minutes per week.” Or, “I will attend a yoga class once a week and do yoga at home twice a week.” You can even get more specific, such as, “I will attend a yoga class on Monday and Wednesday every week until the end of May.”

Sleep

Nutrition and exercise tend to take precedence when people are making goals, leaving sleep on the backburner. One out of three people(3) don't get enough sleep to promote optimal health and wellbeing. Sleeping less than seven hours per day is linked to an increased risk of conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and frequent mental distress.

Exposure to artificial light a couple hours before bed can decrease your melatonin production(4), which can keep you up at night. If this sounds like you, definitely make sleep a priority. A goal may look like this, “At 9 pm I’m going to turn off all light-emitting devices.”

Stress

Escaping stress can be difficult, and stress management often takes a back seat to healthy eating and physical activity. Unfortunately, chronic stress is a part of modern society, and often, stress is even considered a sign of success. But without some form of stress management, you will sabotage your best efforts with diet and exercise. Symptoms of chronic stress(5) include fatigue, headaches, digestive distress, decreased immunity, sleep issues, mood swings, sugar cravings, and mood swings.

Stress relief may involve things like yoga, tai chi, meditation, and visualization practices. But no matter what you decide as your stress relieving activity, it's best to start slowly, especially with techniques like meditation.

If your resolution is to meditate every morning, be sure you’re setting a reasonable time for yourself. A good place to start is five minutes of meditation every morning, and then you can increase it from there. Beginning slowly will make this type of New Year's resolution much more attainable.

Probabilities vs. Possibilities

Often, we fail to see the possibilities and allow statistics, or our past experiences dictate our goals for ourselves. As we continue into the new year, it is important that we consider all the possibilities and give ourselves the freedom to dream the life we want to live. Because, life isn’t always a science but rather a great miracle. Anything and everything is possible.

Looking at probabilities vs possibilities, I wish that this New Year bring forth to you, an abundance of creative energy, self-love and respect, and that you make the time to dream the big dream. May you achieve everlasting health, balance, peace and prosperity.

Keto For Weight Loss with Dr. Lara

Working Women — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 17:20:06 GMT

More than one-third of the United States adults (39.8%) are overweight (1). As an effect of the rising obesity and knowledge of the related health problems, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke, everyone is looking for a safe and steady way to lose weight.

The popularity of ketogenic diet (short form: keto diet) and its claimed weight loss benefits has led many individuals to inquire about keto.
Here’s some research-backed information you need to know about keto diet as a beginner.

Ketogenic diet: What is it?

Keto diet was first introduced in the 1920s for managing epilepsy. Over the years, researchers have discovered other benefits of this diet as well, such as weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity.

A ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet. In the absence of sufficient carbohydrates, the body is forced to use fat as its fuel. The fat metabolism results in the production of fatty acids, which are then converted into ketone bodies through the process of ketosis, hence the name ketogenic diet (2).

As a result of ketosis, most cells use ketone bodies to release energy for cellular functions – the role usually played by glucose breakdown – until we start eating a high-carb diet again. During ketosis more fats are burnt for energy expenditure of the body, and hence the weight loss.

Keto diet promotes the idea of meatier meals and calls for low intake of carbohydrates – fewer than 50 grams. To give you an idea, an ounce of wheat bread contains 16 grams of carbohydrates.

Types of Keto Diet

Keto diet is actually a descendant of Atkins diet and other low-carb diets. Over the years, it has evolved to produce various versions to suit individualistic needs.

1. Standard ketogenic diet (SKD)

SKD is the most common type of keto diet and is the best version for keto beginners. The daily rules are:

20-50 grams of total carbohydrates
20-25 percent diet composed of protein (0.8 grams per pound of your body weight)
75 percent fat

2. Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD):

As the name indicates, CKD involves a cycle of 5-day low-carb intake followed by a 2-day high-carb diet. This form of the keto diet is usually best for athletes.

3. High-protein ketogenic diet:

This is similar to SKD, but includes more protein. Instead of the standard 70% fats, 25% proteins, and 5% carbs, high-protein keto diet requires 60% fats, 35% proteins, and 5% carbs.

Individuals who perform strength training may benefit more from this diet.

4. Targeted ketogenic diet:

The word “targeted” here implies eating before or after a workout. Targeted keto allows you to eat 25-50 grams of carbs 30-60 minutes before exercise.

Keto diet for weight loss

Weight loss is often seen as an effect of following a certain diet. But, it is usually difficult to maintain that weight because of the physiologic adaptation. Diet-induced weight loss is often accompanied by increased hunger, lower metabolic rate, and an increased tendency to restore fat (3).

With keto diet, it’s different.

Many studies have found keto diet an effective way to lose weight and keep those extra pounds off. A meta-analysis of 13 research studies on ketogenic diet suggests that individuals who lose weight following a keto diet tend to maintain that weight more easily as compared to those on low-fat diets (4).

In a study exploring the long-term effects of a ketogenic diet in obese patients, it was seen that after a 24-week administration of keto diet, there was a significant reduction in the body weight of participants. Their lipid profile also improved; HDL (good fat) had increased, and the levels of triglycerides and LDL (bad fat) had reduced.

As no side effects were seen during the period of this study, it was concluded that keto diet – contrary to what was proposed earlier – may be safe to use for a longer time; if not really long, at least a 24 week period seem safe (5).

Another research showed that there was a greater weight loss in study participants who followed the low-carb diet as compared to those who were on a healthy-eating menu (6).

How to start a keto diet?

Each one of us has a different genetic makeup, metabolic rate, lifestyle, and food preferences. It is these factors that starting a new diet requires consultation with a GP and nutritionist.

In the upcoming section, we’ll provide you with some necessary details on what to eat on a ketogenic diet for weight loss, though your trip to a physician is still pending.

Keto diet foods

You’d love any keto diet menu if you are a meat and seafood lover. As a general rule, you are to add fewer carbs and more fats to your diet. Here’s the list of keto foods you can enjoy while getting nearer to your weight loss goal:

Unprocessed meat
Wild caught fish, especially salmon
Eggs
High-fat dairy like butter
Unprocessed cheese
Nuts (in moderation)
Bone Broth
Coffee and tea without sugar
Veggies, such as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, avocado, spinach, kale, green beans, and zucchini.
Coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, and avocado oil

Although a keto diet is high in fats, you still have to watch out for unhealthy fats and processed diet.

Foods to avoid on keto

Low-carb foods provide you more variety to add to your plate while still following the daily bracket of 5% carbs. The list of foods given below is high in carbs, and you need to limit their intake.

Lentils
Peas
Corns
Quinoa
Baked beans
Bread
Pasta
Cookies and Chocolates
Rice
Alcohol
Root vegetables, such as potatoes, parsnip, beetroot, onion

Key question: Is keto diet healthy?

As a physician who prefers to integrate medicine, nutritional science, and ancient healing techniques, I have helped many patients regain control of their health using the very benefits of a keto diet. It has proven an effective weight loss method in many individuals.

The benefits of keto diet are not just limited to weight loss; ketogenic foods – other than being delicious – improve heart health, acne, mental performance, and physical energy. Keto diet also helps you manage diabetes by reducing spikes in blood glucose levels.

Another huge advantage related to high-fat, low-carb diet is the ability to go on diet without having to suffer hunger. Unlike other diets, keto diet plan keeps you satisfied and full for longer.

Key takeaway

Ketogenic diet can be an effective approach towards better health. Be it your weight loss goal or a general approach to living a healthy life, keto diet can benefit you in multiple ways.

Interview with Tami Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO at Entropy Technology Design, Inc.

Working Women — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 13:22:20 GMT

Source: USA Weekly

Starting a business is a big achievement for many entrepreneurs, but maintaining one is the larger challenge. There are many standard challenges that face every business whether they are large or small. It is not easy running a company, especially in a fast-paced, ever-changing business world. Technology advances, new hiring strategies, and now, political changes coming with the new administration, all add to the existing business challenges that entrepreneurs, business owners, and executives have to deal with.

Maximizing profits, minimizing expenses and finding talented staff to keep things moving seem to be top challenges for both SMBs and large corporations. We have been interviewing companies from around the world to discover what challenges they are facing in their businesses. We also asked each company to share business advice they would give to a younger version of themselves.

Below is our interview with Tami Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO at Entropy Technology Design, Inc.:

What does your company do?

Entropy Technology Design, Inc., is a certified 51% woman-owned software/hardware-driven threat detection company specializing in severe weather, lightning, tornado detection and other threats such as mortar fire, sandstorms, tunneling and drones. My company has developed a disruptive new technology that will improve how we react to severe weather and other threats. Entropy’s NIMBUS™ proprietary technology platform detects and alerts users in real-time of severe weather. Integrated with key partners we will also provide early detection and disconnect features to safely take valuable electronics offline to avoid surge damage and loss of equipment. Nimbus will help save human lives, animal lives and property. This technology’s warnings in worldwide geographic areas without U.S. weather capabilities is critical. Although we developed this technology with the primary function of lightning, thunderstorm and detection in real-time, we have found other applications that are needed to protect the skies and waterways.

What is your role? What do you enjoy most about your role?

I am the founder and CEO of Entropy Technology Design, Inc. It is a thrilling challenge to be a woman in this male-dominated industry. I enjoy being part of a technology platform that will change many aspects of the weather, natural disaster, drone, and military combat arena. Nimbus will be a critical interface with IoT, smart cities, the fight against terrorism and climate change. Imagine knowing you will be the first to provide tornado detection that gives a person up to two hours’ notice even at night!

Just imagine how valuable this is to first-responders (e.g., police, firefighters, EMTs). I can trust my entrepreneurial instincts to push through all the blockades, traps, and closed financial doors to find a way through or around obstacles which energizes my business acumen. I love turning a “no” into a “yes.” Hard work, ingenuity and a can-do attitude at the end of the day fuels me. True entrepreneurs never give up. Period.

What are the biggest challenges in your business right now?

Naysayers and access to capital. Like Elon Musk (whom I hope to meet one day), or anyone who started with nothing and fought to bring an alien concept to life, they likely encountered the naysayers. The Chinese proverb I have in my email signature says it all : “The person who says something is impossible to do shouldn’t interrupt the person who is doing it.” Secondly, access to capital that doesn’t suck the life or kick out the founders.

I am not building and growing this company to just abandon my baby. I have had to fight with everything in me to maintain my 51% control. I find it pathetic that it is quite acceptable for founders to be expected to starve as they create their masterpiece only for the sharks to wait or create vulnerability, so they can bully their way into ownership. This needs to change. It occurred to me that while I absolutely can say #MeToo I would also suggest a business version of #MineToo!

If you could go back in time, what business advice would you give to a younger version of yourself?

Regardless of your place or position in life, don’t allow yourself to be bullied or manipulated by anyone. I know now that “calm wisdom” does seem to come with age. As I look back, I have always been unafraid of uncharted waters. In fact, it is what took this Midwestern girl and helped her survive and overcome an oppressive marriage and her escape from Beirut. I would tell a younger version of myself that change only comes when you survive and overcome your obstacles. Don’t view them as failures, think of them as a new pair of stilettos when the old ones go out of style. You cannot hide from life. You have to demolition it one brick at a time towards success.

Urban E Recycling has moved!

Working Women — Wed, 23 May 2018 08:29:55 GMT

We've outgrown our old recycling facility at 5144 Le Tourneau Circle in Tampa. We now occupy a new warehouse at 5630 East Powhatan Avenue, just across from Hillsborough Boulevard. Last year, Urban E Recycling recycled around 3.2 million pounds. With our growing number of dedicated customers, we had filled the capacity of our previous facility. We see our business as always improving and that means we needed more space. The relocation occured for several reasons that benefit both customers and our business. We needed more space for our recycling process to take place and offices to manage day to day details. We also wanted a location that would streamline deliveries and pickup services that would be convenient for customer drop offs.

5 Tips to Make 2018 Your Breakthrough Year

Working Women — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 20:23:51 GMT

5 Tips To Make 2018 Your Breakthrough Year

As we glide into this holiday season and anticipate a brand-new year ahead, are you thinking about how to identify and then achieve important goals and milestones next year? If so, check out these five tips to help you implement a breakthrough 2018!

1. Tap into your values

Change doesn’t happen on its own. So often, the changes we seek to make are related to things we think we “should” or “need to” change rather than things we truly want to change. As Shakespeare famously said, “To thine own self be true”. Get intentional about rediscovering who you really are at the core and let that fuel your growth in 2018. With deeper, more compelling goals, you will be emboldened to harness your personal power to create true transformations.

2. Step out of your comfort zone

Marianne Williamson boldly states, “Your playing small does not serve the world.” For so many of us, playing small is our primary comfort zone. We often wrap ourselves in our insecurities, self-doubt, and even guilt to keep from stepping into what might be our best selves and reaching for what is truly possible. One step out of a comfort zone is your first step into a breakthrough year.

3. Invest in yourself

Caring for “you” is far more than just eating right, getting enough sleep, and exercising. Self-care is holistic; it’s also about learning to set boundaries and better routines to manage work and life balance. Make a list now of what you will courageously say “no” to this year and what you will say “yes” to that will make 2018 your best year yet.

4. Make accountability and support a priority

One of our most crippling mistakes is not asking for help. Help with learning and using new tools to increase self-awareness. Help establishing a new direction for yourself based on your insights. Help in addressing the internal and external obstacles between you and change. And finally, help with the accountability and support most of us need in order to not only achieve, but sustain change.

5. Don’t forget to play

How often do you feel stuck in a rut, worried, disimpassioned … or just plain bored? As adults, we can get so caught up in obligations and expectations that we literally forget how to have fun. Want to smile more, laugh more, and rekindle joy and excitement in your life? Intentionally take time out to play.

November 6-7, 2017 Amalie Area

Hunger is all around us. In Tampa Bay alone, more than 700,000 residents are considered food insecure, meaning they lack reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. The Greenhouse aims to change this.
 
The Greenhouse is an initiative developed by the Tampa Bay Network to End Hunger to “Seed Solutions to End Hunger.” During the 2017 National Sunshine Summit End Hunger, the Network to End Hunger invites you to join us as the top social enterprises, non-profits, and for-profit organizations in our region present their ideas to end hunger. The most innovative solutions will have the opportunity to secure up to $20,000 in funding. Purchase your ticket for this powerful event!

About the Summit
The 2017 National Sunshine Summit End Hunger is an event co-hosted by the Tampa Bay Network to End Hunger and the Alliance to End Hunger. The two-day summit held November 6-7 at Amalie Arena will provide current and aspiring Hunger Free Community organizers and the broader anti-hunger community a forum to learn, share and network while exploring best practices in solving hunger.

The goals for the conference include sharing successful strategies for collective impact, learning about practical approaches from content experts, and identifying new tools, resources and partners for community-based hunger relief efforts. Conference tickets are available here.

Launching Your Success partners with Brew Your Skill

Working Women — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 18:22:00 GMT

The Most Engaging Training In The World

Launching Your Success partners with Brew Your Skill; offers unforgettable experience that merges a business training workshop with a comedic social company outing.

#LaughDrinkLearn

St. Petersburg, FL: Launching Your Success is partnering with Brew Your Skill and will begin offering Brew Your Skill training events in January 2017.

Robyn Sayles, Comedic Facilitator and Founder of Launching Your Success, knows what employee disengagement looks like. After 15+ years in corporate learning & development she has the faces of bored, apathetic employees burned into her retinas. Those faces serve as a reminder of why she started her company 3 years ago, to shake up the training status quo and become an advocate for the learners.

“That’s why I knew Brew Your Skill was a perfect fit for us, because the concept of Laugh, Drink & Learn flies in the face everything we’ve been told corporate training should be and yet it’s the most effective training I’ve ever witnessed” says Robyn.

Disengaged employees leave, which costs US companies $11 billion dollars annually. A 2015 study by TinyPulseshowed that employees were 10 percent more likely to stay with their current employer if they had access to professional development. A Brew Your Skill training can help you retain top talent.

“We often get told our training works because much like a funny movie, people remember the best parts for a long time. We create the same water cooler conversation moments that sustain the learning and make it memorable” says Vince Carone, Vice President of Brew Your Skill.

What makes Brew Your Skill events different from traditional team training & culture events? A Brew Your Skill corporate event merges a business training workshop with a comedic social company outing. Your employees get trained and complete interactive exercises that promote a positive culture. Each event has a comedic facilitator who serves as both entertainment and expert.

● LAUGH:Our Comedic Facilitators provide humor throughout the event to create high-level engagement.
● DRINK:By bringing in a social component, the event will enhance your company culture. Drinks can be coffee, soda, libations, or whatever fits your culture.
● LEARN:Our Comedic Facilitators add value by injecting a business skill tailored to your company needs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 2, 2016

Visit www.launchingyoursuccess.com/brewyourskilltoday to learn how you can get your team out of their comfort zone and elevate performance while they Laugh, Drink & Learn.

About Launching Your Success: Extraordinary workshop experiences for un-average people & teams. We use an arsenal of groundbreaking programs and expertly curated tools to teach businesses and individuals how to elevate performance from standard to stand-out without sacrificing fun. www.launchingyoursuccess.com

Disability Insurance | Get started today with Saland Insurance Solutions!

Working Women — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 18:54:41 GMT

Our agency has been offering Disability Insurance to existing clients and new clients for more than a decade. Some of the MOST common questions are “Why do I need it?”, “I’m healthy” or “I’m only 28”.

There are many reasons to have Disability Insurance but each reason is specific to the individual’s situation. The question is, is it a right fit for you? No two people have the same life circumstances or concerns, therefore, we cannot show a solution until we have determined the potential issue, but rest assured the need exists for everybody. That’s what we determine when we learn more about you.

Most people only understand the basics of insurance when we agree to meet but the important thing is that they are willing to listen. That is the perfect prospect

Here is an overly simple way to explain how disability insurance works. Let’s say Jessica has just been hired at a new job. She is offered two compensation options.

Option A –
$3,000 per month as long as you work every day
$0 if you can’t work.

Option B –
$2,900 per month as long as you work every day
$2,000 per month if you are sick or hurt and can’t work.

If you would like to learn more with no obligation, we’ll even buy the coffee.

Frazier & Deeter Named One of the Top 10 Best Public Accounting Firms in the U.S. for Women

Working Women — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 13:10:54 GMT

Firm recognized as both a Best Firm for Women and for Leadership Equity based on strong representation of women among partners and principals

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 09, 2016

Frazier & Deeter CPAs & Advisors has been named one of the top 10 Best CPA Firms for Women in the U.S. in a joint announcement made by the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance and the American Women’s Society of Certified Public Accountants (AWSCPA). Frazier & Deeter was also recognized for Leadership Equity as a firm at which more than 30% of partners and principals are women.

“This honor is especially meaningful because it reflects the importance Frazier & Deeter places on facilitating the careers of women and our efforts to support parents as they attempt to balance the needs of work and family,” stated Seth McDaniel, Managing Partner of Frazier & Deeter. “Our profession has always struggled with retaining women, but we recognize that finding ways to help women succeed and advance helps our firm as a whole.”

“It’s exciting to see Frazier & Deeter receive recognition for helping women realize our potential as we advance through the ranks,” said Terri Lawson, Partner-in-Charge of Frazier & Deeter’s Tax Practice. “As a partner who has been with the firm since the beginning of my career, I believe the support and flexibility the firm provides to women at different stages of life is especially helpful in retaining women on the path to partner.”

In addition to its track record regarding women’s advancement within the firm, Frazier & Deeter also seeks to help women elsewhere in the business community. The firm’s Women’s Business Leadership Program provides financial support, peer interaction and leadership programming for women executives and business owners. The program, which is active across Georgia, Florida and Tennessee, recently celebrated the fifth anniversary.

The Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance and the AWSCPA jointly sponsor the Accounting MOVE project, which surveys CPA firms across the nation to determine the state of women in the industry.

Frazier & Deeter was named one of 10 Best Public Accounting Firms for Women based on an extensive survey process that evaluated a variety of factors. The report of Best CPA Firms for Women cited that the firms being honored in 2016 have demonstrated:

Consistent, measurable progress in advancing women to leadership
Proven and evolving programs that retain and advance women
Clear and compelling integration of the business case for advancing women

Leadership Equity
According to project MOVE, this year women comprise 23% of the partners and principals at the firms that participated in the MOVE study, the profession’s only annual benchmark of the status of women in the leadership pipeline. This is a marked increase from 2012’s 17%. Frazier & Deeter was recognized based on the firm’s 31.4% of partners and principals who are female.

“Progress is accelerating at MOVE firms,” said Joanne Cleaver, president of Wilson-Taylor Associates, Inc., the firm that designed and manages the Accounting MOVE Project. “Leading MOVE firms have figured what works, and they are re-investing in proven strategies.”

Frazier & Deeter was previously cited for leadership equity in the 2014 Project MOVE, and was named one of the 2015 top Accounting Firms to Work For by Accounting Today.

About the Accounting MOVE project
The Accounting MOVE Project is an annual survey of leading Financial and Accounting Firms to determine the state of women in the industry. The Accounting MOVE Project is based on the MOVE methodology, investigates the factors proven to be essential to women’s career success: money, opportunity, vital support and entrepreneurship.

About Frazier & Deeter
Frazier & Deeter is a nationally recognized CPA and advisory firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm provides tailored services across a wide range of tax, audit, accounting and advisory needs to achieve each client's unique financial goals.

Salvé Aesthetic Solutions Grand Opening

Working Women — Mon, 04 Jan 2016 14:53:29 GMT

Member Bea Hunter-Erdman is celebrating her grand opening on Saturday, January 9th.

Salvé Aesthetic Solutions provides clinical skin care for everyone. We are also the first to bring oncology-focused skin care services to the Tampa Bay area to fulfill a great need for cancer and other health-challenged patients. As Certified Oncology Aestheticians™ we have advanced education, knowledge and skills to understand the side effects of oncology treatments, which include chafing, rash, irritation, scarring and radiation sensitivity

A cancer patient has many emotions and concerns; addressing their outward appearance can be as challenging for them as dealing with the disease itself. Providing oncology-focused aesthetic services achieves far more benefits for patients beyond beauty. Personalized skin care counseling and beneficial, non-invasive services address the concerns of each cancer patient while clinically proven, affordable products relieve topical conditions.

Working with cancer patients takes compassion, understanding, and a willingness to listen. As Certified Oncology Aestheticians™, this is one of the most rewarding aspects of our profession. The patient is grateful for the corrective benefits from the services/products and for the emotional support received.

Physiological and psychological improvements are well documented by both the medical community and patients. Our business is all about providing results and relief with compassion for every client. Visit www.salveaesthetics.com for more information.

Woman Women member chosen for Tampa Bay Theatre Festival

Working Women — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 14:38:08 GMT

The second annual Tampa Bay Theatre Festival has chosen the 5 plays that will compete for best full length play this coming Labor day weekend.September 4- 6 and all five were written by women. The festival website is www.TampaBayTheatreFestival.com for full info on these plays.

The latest statistics on published plays indicates that only 22% of all plays published world wide are written by females so this is a pretty awesome achievement. The plays were read blind (no names on the top) so these choices were made solely on merit.

One of the plays being presented, "Dinner for Six", was written and directed by, long standing Working Woman member, Lil Barcaski who is also nominated for best local playwright in Creative Loafing's "Best of the Bay - 2015".

The Story: As the result of too much wine at a dinner party, a group of friends decide to produce a play that two of them saw while on a trip to New York with their high school drama club twenty years earlier. The play had a profound impact on them and in their memories was "the greatest play ever".
Once they are knee-deep in the commitment to do the play, they realize that their perceptions as teens may have been a bit off. To add even more twists, the young man they hire to fill the lead role will change their lives forever.

This hilarious comedy with a dramatic twist takes the audience on a journey of friendships and laughter and explores sexual identity, the parameters of relationships and being true to oneself.

"Dinner for Six" premiers at the festival at Stageworks Theater on Saturday, Sept. 5th at 7pm.
To purchase tickets go to: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/dinner-for-six-a-twisted-comedy-by-lil-barcaski-tickets-17693236948

The show will then travel around the Bay area through Oct 5th. Other show dates can be found on the website at: www.GypsyStage.com

Join us every Saturday for Yoga Day!

Working Women — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:01:06 GMT

Longtime Member and Ambassador for Working Women of Tampa Bay Karen Gillman has recently authored ‘It’s Never Too Late’. Here is an expert of the book and how to order:

‘It’s Never Too Late’ is my 10 year journey with weight loss surgery. In early 2000 my weight crept to an all-time high of over 300 pounds. My body type was medically classified as morbidly obese and I found myself going through the motions in a lifestyle I didn’t love, living in a body that was weighing me down mentally and physically. There were several indications that made me realize if I didn’t make some drastic changes, my future will never match that of what I had been dreaming of.

In 2004 I had gastric band (Lap-Band®) surgery which ultimately helped me combat my obesity, shed and maintain a weight loss of 145 pounds and bring my BMI from a staggering 45.3 to a maintaining a normal weight BMI of 23.

Enjoy my book, It’s Never Too Late as I share my before and after pictures, tips and tricks I learned along the way as well as personally developed. I share my top 10 products any weight loss surgery patient can’t live without, and my secret formula for steady long term weight loss. I’m in it for life, how about you?

Please-oh-please-oh-please…post a picture of yourself and my book on my facebook page. www.facebook.com/aftertheband

Frazier & Deeter Expand Women's Business Leadership Program to Tampa

Working Women — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:22:41 GMT

Frazier & Deeter, one of the top 60 CPA and advisory firms in the country, announced today the expansion of the firm's Women's Business Leadership Program to Nashville and Tampa. The Frazier & Deeter Women's Business Leadership Program was created in 2010 to support women business leaders in pursuing their personal and business goals. The program includes thought leadership events that the firm organizes as well as a blog series and sponsorships of organizations that support women executives or women-led businesses.

"The Frazier & Deeter Women's Business Leadership program supports women executives and business owners by helping them share ideas, connect with their peers and learn about strategies and resources that will help them achieve their goals," said Seth McDaniel, Managing Partner at Frazier & Deeter.

Partner LeighAnn Costley, who has been a leader of Frazier & Deeter’s program since 2012, noted, "The firm is excited to expand our support of women executives and business owners to our new markets as we grow. We’ve gotten strong positive feedback from the women executives of Atlanta and we hope to have a similar impact in Nashville and Tampa Bay."

In early 2015 Frazier & Deeter expanded the program’s thought leadership event series to Nashville. The leader of the Women's Business Leadership Program in Nashville is Tax Partner Debbie Willett.

Willett noted, “It was amazing to see the warm reception our Women’s program received in Nashville. We look forward to helping address some of the strategic needs of women professionals and business owners as the program builds.”

The firm has also expanded the program to Tampa, with the sponsorship of Working Women of Tampa Bay. The program in Tampa Bay will be led by Audit Senior Manager Heather Brown. The firm expects to begin offering panel events for women in the second half of this year.

Brown noted, “As someone who has been active for many years with various women’s professional groups in the Tampa Bay area, I’m delighted our firm has chosen to invest in the women leaders of our city.”

The cornerstone of Frazier & Deeter's Women Business Leaders thought leadership program is a series of events the firm organizes that focus on critical business leadership topics such as driving business growth and leading a successful executive team. These events feature successful women business owners and executives who share their real-world experiences with attendees.

In addition to the events Frazier & Deeter produces, the firm sponsors programs and organizations that help women executives enhance leadership skills and drive business results. Examples include the Atlanta Dream WNBA team's Inspiring Women speaker series and LaunchPad 2x, an educational program that teaches women entrepreneurs about topics such as negotiation, intellectual property law and working with investors.

Local entrepreneur launched first US franchise in Tampa Bay!

Working Women — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 14:49:55 GMT

For Immediate Release

Local entrepreneur launched first US franchise in Tampa Bay, now opens third with a “Twist” in Clearwater

(Clearwater, Florida) unlock your inner Picasso… a new place where friends, family and even executives for team building events are coming together to paint, drink, have fun and discover their artistic ability. Leslie and Marvin Gay were the FIRST to open a Painting with a Twist studio franchise in St. Petersburg Florida five years ago. By the end of 2014; Painting with a Twist plans to have over 200 through the US. The Gays own a second studio in Tampa and are now opening their third studio in Clearwater.

According to Entrepreneur Magazine 2014; Painting with a Twist is the #1 franchise in the hottest “Paint and Sip” industry. Fox and Friends national US morning news, June 2014 named Painting with a Twist as one of the top five franchises hiring for 2014. Besides schools; Painting with a Twist is the largest independent company to employ the most artists in the country. The “Paint and Sip” industry started in 2009 – roughly 190 are small individually owned and a handful of large scale franchise operations. The turnkey investment to become a Painting with a Twist franchise is approximately $100,000. Franchise partners have access to comprehensive and ongoing training from a Home Office support staff of 16 professionals, a national PR firm and the company’s industry-leading library of more than 4,000 copyrighted and original paintings.

Leslie and Marvin Gay of St. Pete are in the top 10% of Painting with a Twist’s top producing studios out of over the current 160+ for 2014. On average Painting with a Twist studios experience an average of 23% sales growth year-over-year. 30% of the franchise partners own more than one studio.

The Gays were instrumental in working with the founders of Painting with a Twist; Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney in New Orleans develop the franchise and then open the very first franchise in the US. Leslie Gay 61, and her husband Marvin Gay, 71, a retired accountant looked at the Painting with a Twist franchise as an opportunity to invest in something they could control.   “The interest rate at the time in 2009, was zero, so we weren’t making any money on our savings and we saw it as an opportunity to take a portion and use it for something we could control – we were investing in ourselves,” says Marvin. A year and half later they opened a second studio in South Tampa and now their third in Clearwater.

So what is the success business model of Painting with a Twist?
Facebook and email marketing are the key channels of communication. Each studio’s website provides the painting class schedule and registration is handled on line with pre-payment of a credit card. This is a customer service business and the Gays believe their studio’s success is largely due to the amazingly talented artists they have on their team who lead the classes and inspire the customers seven days a week.   The results? Each studio is entertaining and creating a great experience for about 350 customers each week. And, the #1 advertising vehicle are the customers themselves! Old fashioned; “word of the mouth” is the #1 way people are hearing about Painting with a Twist!

The Gays schedule a monthly charitable event at each studio. Leslie shares; “We feel so good to be able to give back to our community and to charitable events far beyond what we could ever do on our own.” Most recently the St. Petersburg and Tampa studios participated in the Vera Bradley Cancer Foundation Painting with a Purpose. The Gays raised over $3,000 for the cause. “Ties and Tennis Shoes” is an annual local charitable fundraising event the Gays host with Pinellas Education Foundation. The couple is also very active in many local organizations; Grand Central District Association, Tampa Bay Business Owners, South Tampa Chamber of Commerce and Clearwater Regional Chamber.   Leslie is active in Network Professionals Incorporated, South Pinellas County and Working Women of Tampa Bay. Marvin is the Treasurer and active in St. Petersburg Kiwanis

Painting with a Twist
Painting with a Twist, based in Mandeville, Louisiana is the leading Paint and Sip franchise with more than 150 locations throughout the United States.   Founded in 2007 by Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney, Painting with a Twist began franchising in 2009 and provides customers with paint, a canvas and brushes that lead to a fun evening with friends and a finished piece of art.

Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Working Women — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:09:17 GMT

The Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation is an all-volunteer organization and was started in 2003 by family and friends of Celma to help other women who were also suffering with this "silent killer." Celma herself was not diagnosed until late in the disease although she had been seeking treatment as she knew something was wrong. Celma was a talented leader in the community, gracefully chairing numerous non-profit committees that enhanced the entire Tampa Bay area, including the arts, medical and educational groups. Her leadership, gifts of time and talent, and generous financial support made her a community icon.

Her brave battle with ovarian cancer made her our heroine. Celma died in 2004. Her spirit lives on in our Mission Statement: "To unite family, friends, and community to fight ovarian cancer." Celma is survived by eight children, a large extended family and many friends.

The Foundation goals are:
• Sponsor Research.
• Assist in the development of an early detection test, and in prevention.
• Educate the community.
• Offer financial assistance to patients in need.

The Confidence Course for Women

Working Women — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:30:00 GMT

Chicks Who Kick Ass: The Confidence Course for Women

The foundation of confidence is self trust (“confide” = with + trust), and we’ve developed a curriculum to help women build trust in themselves so they can do great things in the world.

Date: Saturday, May 3
Time: 10am to 4pm

Location:
SAFI Space
1714 CR1 (Keane Rd) Suite 2
Dunedin Fl. 34698

Cost: $99 in advance ($20 discount for Working Women members)
 Apply coupon code: chicks-ww01 and pay only $79. Includes light lunch.

Register online at: http://mythicu.com/workshops/chicks-who-kick-ass/

Course Description:
Unit 1: The Ring of Failure and the Cloak of Visibility
To start, we tackle the yin and yang of failure and success. How do we fail well? How do we open up to the possibilities (good and bad) with a new venture? How do we increase our capacity to deal with the discomfort that comes with the visibility one faces with success?

Unit 2: Secret Identities
Who are we really? What parts of our identities are we hiding and from whom, including (and especially) ourselves?

Unit 3: Who Screwed Up and Didn’t Save the World?
Shame and blame. What is shame? What triggers it? How do we build shame resilience in ourselves and our communities?

Unit 4: The Superpower of Power Itself
Defining and claiming your power. What is your relationship with power? How do you claim power for good and let go of force and “power over”?

Unit 5: Ask and You Shall Receive
Communication and negotiation. How do you know what you actually want and then be able to ask for it? Creating a buddy system to help one another negotiate and ask for the things we really need or want.

Unit 6: Hey! You! Get Off of My Cloud!
Balance and boundaries. The roots of true, organic balance in your life. Knowing your boundaries and consciously asking other to respect them. Learning how to recognize and respect other people’s boundaries.

Regenerate the Spirit in Your Workplace

with Barbara Glanz, CSP

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

“Spreading Contagious Enthusiasm™ undefined
Creating Workplaces of Passion, Purpose and Productivity”

Current research shows that only about 12 to 15% of American workers are giving their very best to their jobs; 8 to 10% are burned out with no life so that leaves 75 – 80% of our workforce who are just doing enough to get by. Just imagine what could happen to the productivity in your workplace if you could inspire those workers to do their very best

Raise morale
Reduce turnover
Increase productivity
Have more fun at work

The great news is that all this can occur in your workplace with very little cost. In this presentation you will learn how to create a work environment where people treat one another like valuable human beings with a sense of mission that their work is important and where appreciation and joy are present, no matter how serious the work may be.

Barbara will share her “contagious enthusiasm” to maximize personal productivity and organizational success, and each participant will leave with a powerful understanding of the difference he or she can make every single day.

About Barbara:

Barbara Glanz, Certified Speaking Professional, received the prestigious CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame in August 2011 and is the first speaker on record to present on all 7 continents and in 50 states. For more on Barbara visit: www.BarbaraGlanz.com

You're invited to learn more about the only non-invasive scanner that measures the flavonoids and carotenoids in your cells and is exclusive to MonaVie on November 7th at Sheraton Tampa East Hotel in Tampa. The Patent protected MonaVie VIEW scanner uses technology called reflection spectroscopy. Astronomers used this same technology to create the Hubble Space Telescope and to identify the composition of the atmosphere of Neptune and the rings of Saturn).

They will spend time describing this technology and then everyone will have the opportunity to get their antioxidant Life Scores color – red, orange, yellow, green, blue or purple for FREE. This non-invasive technology can measure the antioxidants in your body in 5 seconds and provide you a color score. In 30 seconds the Scanner can be more precise and give you a numeric score. This translates to the health of your cells. Or in other words who's winning the battle? The free radicals or the antioxidants? This is a predictor of aging and your body's ability to fight inflammation and disease. You will also hear how you can positively impact your Life Score.

Monavie Executive Vice President of Product Development, Jeff Graham will be there, along with several successful Monavie Distributors. The meeting is scheduled from 7:30 to 9:30 with the majority of the time spent on the science.

Announcing Event in a Bag by Deocapac Designs & Latitude 27 Marketing

Working Women — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:28:05 GMT

Do you recognize the conversion rate impact when you speak directly to potential clients or how fewer the amount of times your brand needs to come into contact with your target audience when experiential marketing is involved? This is the most direct form of marketing because it fits directly into the lives of the audience you are targeting. Experiential events tend to communicate on a much more personal level by generating a powerful one-on-one connection of emotional engagement. It therefore results in better conversion rates and better brand recognition.

We have three packages: Shopping Bag, Tote Bag and Suit Case. Maximize your sponsorship, event booth, or private event and contact us today! Mention WWOTB and received $50 off any package! Offer expires November 30th 2012.

When you attend this workshop, you’ll come away with the following:

How to structure and sequence a request so people naturally want to say yes-even that client or partner you can’t possibly afford to risk hearing “no” from.

The actual request model Annette used to raise $85,000 in one year for a nonprofit and to generate $700,000 in additional revenue for one of her clients.

The 3 steps to assemble a request-whether you’re asking clients for what you know you’re worth, or gliding past limits by forming big partnerships with big people.

How to identify your leadership style and request type-Idealist, Commander-in-Chief, or Force of Nature--so you understand how your natural instincts affect business results.

A specific plan and commitment for when, where, how, and from whom you will make your ﬁrst irresistible request.

FREE Money Making Webinar

Working Women — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 19:14:00 GMT

Interview with Loral Langemeier, Financial Expert and 5X NY Times Best
Selling Author. Join us on on Thursday, April 7 at 7:00PM Eastern for a complimentary
webinar!

Are you making at least $100,000 a year? Do you want to?

It’s easy to say YES! In fact, you are probably nodding your head right
now saying "of course I WANT to make at least $100,000 a year, who
doesn't?"
But...
And there's the nasty little word - but, you say:

- My boss won't give me a raise.
- What I do isn't within the $100k salary range.
- I want to start a business but I don't have the money.
- I don't have enough customers/clients.
- I want to grow my business but I don't know how.

Almost everyone outwardly says YES! to that question.
But it’s completely different to be in the YES! mindset of actually being
able to do it.
A Yes! mindset means you are able to overcome and BLOW UP any obstacles
that are in your way.
We can be your dynamite!
BOOM! Obstacle GONE! - We have been helping motivated entrepreneurs like
you get there and beyond for over 10 years, indentifying and eliminating
obstacles that hold them back from $100K, $200k and making thousands of
the millions.

On Thursday, April 7 at 7:00PM Eastern

We will show YOU how to hit the revenue goals you set for yourself.
In this No-Cost Teleseminar you will learn:

•   How to use the talents and gifts you already have to put new cash in
your pocket every day.
•   How to ALWAYS have the cash you need instead of worrying about what you
don’t have.
•   How to identify those in your life who can help you meet your goals and
those who are holding you back.

If you REALLY want to make $100,000 or more this year, we will see you at
this no-cost online event.

Here's to your first (or next) $100K!

Discount on Profits Seminar

Working Women — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 19:03:23 GMT

Can you really double profits just by asking?

How much is that number in your head?

Five figures? Six? Seven, even?

Whatever it is, it spends more time in our heads than most of us would like.

Annette Saldaña says the reason most women in business aren’t twice as profitable is because we don’t ask. We don’t ask for more money, we don’t ask for more opportunities. (Be honest. Can you really ask for what you want from any client or any potential partner, and be cool with the answer?)

Island Massage Facial Special!

Working Women — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:24:46 GMT

Facial Special!

Our Master Esthetician, Jennifer has been receiving rave reviews from those clients who took advantage of our $39 Intro Special in January. We were amazed at your response! So many people wanted to take advantage of the special that we added hours, but still were not able to accommodate everyone. Jennifer has generously decided to extend the $39 Introduction Special to everyone for their first facial which is regularly priced $65. First time? It's $39.

Jennifer uses her own hand-blended organic skin care, Celtic Complexion, for her facials which have been recently selected to be in the VIP gift bags for the 2012 Red Carpet Celebrity Lounge honoring the Academy Award (OSCAR!) nominees. Yesterday we just learned her products will be used by Celebrity Makeup Artists at the New York Fashion Week. Tres Chic! (Sorry, more Pepe!)

Jennifer specializes in dry and sensitive skin, including rosacea. She is a published author for industry trade journals and has worked in some of Florida's most renowned resorts, including the our own Don CeSar. Jennifer is available for appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. You will see a major improvement in your skin after just one treatment!

There is a better solution and you can be confident our experience and commitment will be there to make sure the job gets done right. Stop 'putting up with' a damaged door and call the experts today!

A sliding glass door that is not rolling smoothly can be frustrating and even dangerous. The door can catch and cause you to stumble. It can also prevent you and your loved ones from quickly entering or exiting the home in an emergency situation.

You don't need to purchase new doors.

There is a better solution!

Allow us to say it one more time -- you don't need to buy new doors! Why stretch your budget to replace an entire door system, when usually the only parts not working are the rolling mechanism, track and perhaps the locks?

Save Money -- Replacing the faulty part of your existing sliding glass doors can save you hundreds of dollars. On average, repairing your sliding glass door will save you 80% of the cost of buying and installing a new sliding glass door system.
Save Time -- Repairing your current sliding glass door is so much easier than buying a new sliding glass door system. Compare the tedious process of selecting, buying and installing a new sliding door system with the simple, yet effective process of repairing your current sliding glass door.

We also install one of the best security locks that are on the market. Double-Bolt Security Locks that will keep your family safe! Don't take any chances, and don't wait until it's too late!
