Doing accounting for over 25 years, I will probably be best remembered for that piece of my life. One thing I know, however, is I will never be remembered as the nerdy or boring accountant! I love sports and am a crazed sports fan. I have always been outgoing and I love people and meeting new people and making more friends. I also love dogs and am a member of two Greyhound rescue groups and on the board of directors for Kids and Canines. I would like to be thought of as a loyal friend and someone who likes to help people and connect people,as a tenacious business woman and as someone who enjoys working for important causes and making the world at least a little better.

My revenge? I try very hard to sign them up as clients. Once I've done that, their "advice" turns to comments of praise. The moral? Don't get angry, and instead tell them what you can do; challenge them to an opportunity to show them that your business is running as it should. You will gain respect that way; loyal clients, and many referrals.

Someone always needs something, and there's always a long "to do" list with this frantic pace of internet, social marketing, dynamic changes in industry and economy - so my challenge is not only to "get it done" but to remember, on a daily basis, this is MY life. The one and only - no do-overs, no going back. Like many of my colleagues, trying to “do it all” takes it’s toll on my personal life.

My great challenge is keeping to a sleep schedule so that I have the health and energy to keep going at my typical insane pace! I can only imagine how must harder it must be for women who juggle not only a business and a household and relationship, but also children at the same time! However, when I work at it enough and can keep to a 11 pm to 7 am routine of sleep, I eat more healthily, have energy to exercise, and think more clearly about my personal and professional projects. But it's a constant battle... SLEEP! My great challenge is keeping to a sleep schedule so that I have the health and energy to keep going at my typical insane pace!
