Overcoming Shyness

No matter what business you’re in, you’re going to somehow, some way, some shape or form deal with people. It’s unavoidable. It can be quite intimidating trying to sell people on your product or services, especially when you’re new in the field, and you don’t feel like you know everything you need to. I used…

Random Job I’ve Done: Sexual Health Clinic Advisor

While I was in college, I got the best job ever for a young college student: I worked as an advisor in the sexual health resource clinic. I was only there for a few months, maybe 4 or so, but I learned SO much about sexual health, contraception, and everything that a parent would like…

Ernie’s Top Ten Worse Uses of Your Time

11 Things money can’t buy

My business goes through periods of great and, well, not-so-great cash-flow.  In other words: I never know from month to month how much money I’m going to make.

The Difference Between Work at Home Jobs and Work at Home Opportunities

While going through the employment ads, you’ll see many ads from companies that require fees to get started. If you feel like you’re being scammed because someone wants you to buy into a business, keep in mind that these types of offers aren’t necessarily scams. The company wants to sell you on an opportunity, as…

Random Job I’ve Done: Ronald McDonald’s Bodyguard

“Does Ronald McDonald Need a Bodyguard?” I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been asked that very question. And I always reply, with a sly look in my eye, “Yes. Twelve-year-old boys were the worst.” And, frankly…they were. They were always trying to step on his feet and pull his hair. It’s interesting…

You need to stop reading and start doing

Many years ago, I was in an acting for film class held by a casting agency in Seattle.  We went around the room talking about our experience in the industry.  One woman really stood out.  She listed at least 15 classes and seminars she had attended, books that she had read, home-study courses she enrolled…
