Work, Relationship, Fun Balance
Created by Liza Cunningham Dec 30, 2009 | Tags work, relationships, fun
Overview
Read some great advice that one has to find a balance between work, love and fun. All three should be 100%, otherwise we lean on one over the other causing imbalance. For me:
Work 100%
Relationships 100%
Fun 70%
So I definitely need to work on the fun balance. Every week I will try one ...

Change the Conversation
Created by Liza Cunningham Dec 30, 2009 | Tags behavior
Overview
My greatest realization lately is that continuing the same conversation/dialogue/patterns will yield the same result. So if I want to change the outcome, I must look at my own behavior.
When it comes to interaction, I need to analyze the kinds of questions I ask, and the kind of person I want to be in a conve...

Try an Affiliate Network Revenue Model for BringIt
Created by Liza Cunningham Oct 01, 2009 | Tags Business, Marketing, revenue
Overview Use Commission Junction Affiliate Network for advertising on BringIt to see if this generates more relevant ads and delivers revenue. (Amazon Widgets didn't deliver well but it could be a limitation of Amazon and lack of relevant content).
Andy O'Shea Targeted ads definitely seem like the way to go. Not sure if its the fact that the CJ ads so far are coupons or that they are untargeted...

Liza Cunningham Interestingly, I looked at Commission Junction the other day and it looks like BringIt has earned $1.78 total. So while that isn't much ...

Vitamin D3 to Prevent Flu and Colds
Created by Liza Cunningham Nov 08, 2009 | Tags medicine, flu, Vitamin D3
Overview
Taking 2500 - 5k units of Vit D3 a day to see if it boosts immune system enough to ward off flu and colds this season. I read about it on the Dr. Mercola website and it seems like a logical theory.
For the next 3-4 months, take Vitamin D3 daily. At signs or exposure to flu or colds, double the dose for a day...

Overview Email the Girl Scouts main headquaters and ask them to make BringIt Signup Sheets an official tool that they recommend to their troops.
Matthew Cornell "Ask the same question until you get the answer you want." I love it! Is the experiment over, or will you pursue them in different ways?

Vacation in Maine -- Bear Country, Stephen King and Cone Heads,
Created by Liza Cunningham Aug 15, 2009
Overview
Going on vacation to a small family cabin in the woods, only cold water. Apparently, there are people who have cone heads (no joke) living in the area. The lake may be full of leeches.
Vacations are usually really hard for me, especially if I don't have internet (tbd) so trying to think of this positively.
Matthew Cornell > Dinner and a show. :-)

Overview Instead of teasing other people, even in good humor, when I feel like I am about to tease someone I will stop and either turn it on myself or resist the urge.
Matthew Cornell to enjoy: see how they react - share their feeling good?
