This week I was contacted by a gentleman with a great product, an innovative idea, and an okay website. He asked me if I thought his business was worthwhile. “Absolutely! But first you need to optimize so that people can find you.” I could tell right away before even viewing his source code, that whoever designed his website was not thinking about Search Engine Optimization. It was a decent site, and that’s all you need, a decent site that tells people who you are and what service you offer. But people have to be able to find you first.
Before you spend thousands of dollars on website design (or redesign), graphics, fancy flash players, and other gizmos for your website, take a look at some simple tips to optimize your website and to be found by your target audience.
My eBook about just this topic is normally $29.95 on my website—and well worth it. But I’m doing a blog special and discounting it 50%. So for $15.95 take advantage of my tips on search engine optimization and get your website found by Google! Click here to take advantage of the special savings.

Preggo
So here we made our vision boards- one section for Wealth, one for Family, one for Success, one for Happiness. Then I get the most interesting news! A new addition to the family! It could not have come at the most strangest of times. Not only am I transitioning professionally, but at a time when personally I’m feeling so- strange- and that’s not just the pregnancy talking!
So here we go boldly into the future, and here I am staring at that vision board praying and hoping that God and the Universe have something better in store for us and our growing family. I’ve placed my affirmations all over the house, I say them every time I look at them, so something has got to go right, right?
So maybe my intentions were not specific enough? Maybe the line between family and wealth was blurred? You know that to the Chinese in Feng Shui if you want to enhance wealth you actually fortify your Family gua because wealth and family are tied together. But then there are different types of wealth and the laughter of my child and seeing her cuddled in her daddy’s arms makes me feel wealthy indeed.

My husband and I are both working on our vision boards (info on how to make one here) as a part of a project for the “Law of Attraction”. The basic premise is that if you see it and believe it you will cause it to come into being. A good friend of ours had a wonderful experience he shared with us about his granddaughter who more than anything wanted to have a chocolate Easter bunny from the Oriental Trader catalog. Telling her that if she wanted it badly enough she would get it, her father advised her to cut out photos and put them in a scrap book. She cut out photos of chocolate bunnies and a few days later a friend of the families approached them at church. He had been given a large gift basket and being diabetic was unable to eat the chocolate in the basket. With all of the other families he could have chosen he singled her out. Was it a coincidence? Was it the Law of Attraction at work?
I choose to believe it was the latter. When we choose to think positively, maybe it’s not that chocolate bunnies will fall out of the sky, but maybe we are more open to the possibilities in front of us. Maybe we are able to choose more effectively the choices that will ultimately lead us to the ultimate prize!
What is on your vision board?
