Hi,

I hope you’re having a great holiday weekend. By now most kids have started school, or some (like mine) will be starting tomorrow… whether you homeschool or go the traditional school route summer is just about over and it’s time to get back to business.

I find this is a good time of year to write down goals for the second half of the year. Goal setting is something we usually do at the beginning of the year, but checking in to see where you’re at and adjusting your goals is important as the year progresses.

I’ve already mapped out a plan that will carry me through the rest of the year and am focused and ready to get back to work! What about you? What are your goals for the rest of 2007?

Sometimes writing down your goals in a public place helps keep us accountable and on track. I’ve done this in the past and it feels good to “put it out there” – if you think you’ll find that helpful too, come on over to the forums and share your goals, it’s a great way to stay motivated and on track – http://www.internetbasedmoms.com/bb

I’m also very excited to introduce another of our expert bloggers – Lynette Chandler. Lynette is our technology marketing expert and is sharing some of her best tips on blogging and using technology to help streamline your business… and she makes it all easy to understand.

I know Lynette has had a lot of great questions so far and she’s definitely welcoming more, so this is your chance to ask your most pressing technology questions. Visit Lynette here: http://experts.internetbasedmoms.com/lynette

Have a great week, I’ll be seeing my youngest off to his first day of school tomorrow and am a little nervous… this is a big week for us! I’ll share some pictures on the forum.


Wishing you much success,
