Sunday Soup!

by Donna Maria

It’s Sunday! That means it’s time for Sunday Soup!! Sunday Soup is a new feature here at my blog where you can post questions in the comments, and I will answer them. Even better, you can answer each other using the Disqus threaded comments!

So what do you want to talk about? Being a wife and/or mom in business? How to use social media? The best blogging platform? Leadership? Starting a beauty business? New books you are reading? (My latest is below.)

Let’s talk and share in today’s Sunday Soup!! So meaty!

Enormous post– you make so many points that simply make knowledge for me. Thanks for this informative post.

I haven't been able to figure out how to enlarge the 'about' box on my FB business page like you suggested in your last blog.

How do you keep up with it all? With IBN, the forums, the blog, Twitter, your 3 facebook pages? How do find time to give them all the attention they deserve and still find time to be so generous with your members?

Cindy: Good question. As far as I know, you cannot enlarge that box. What you have to do is write what you want in the box and then edit it down bit by bit until you can fit as much of what you want as you can. Remember that the box is not designed to fit tons of text. It’s just designed to highlight what your business is about, and to share a link or two about where else people can go to find you. URL shorteners like http://www.bit.ly and http://www.tinyurl.com can save you some space by shortening your URLs. Hopefully, I am understanding your question correctly. If not, let me know. Thanks!

Donna: It may look like I keep up with it all, but I don't really. Lots of things slip through. My “to do” list is longer than I can tackle each day, but I do put the most important things at the top. That way, I at least get through my priorities. If I run out of time or energy, then I need to stop and carry over things to the next day, or let them drop.

Let me say this though. Technology helps! I use an iPhone to keep my calendar, organize my kids's lives, update my blog, etc. Technology means that I don't have to be in a particular location to do things. That way, I can do more important things. I also have people to help me, including a wonderful husband who does more around the house than I do.

As for the FaceBook pages, I feel strongly that my privacy as a mother, daughter, sister, etc., demands that I have a special page just for my family. That page is generally not accessible by people who are not related to me by marriage, blood, high school or college. It's the perfect way to organize my life and keep my professional life separate from my personal one. It's a lot easier than having one profile page and having to deal with whether or not to accept friend requests from business colleagues I don't know very well.

Thank you for commenting that I am generous with IBN members. All I can say about that is that my members are closely connected to my purposes in life. I feel strongly that we all have a supernatural ability to fullfill roles that we were born to fulfill like no one else. There are things only I can do and only you can do, and once we tap them, nothing can stop us from filling that space.

I hope this helps, and I am very excited to be able to connect with and serve you!

Thanks. Technology does help. I just learned how to use Facebook on my iphone and it does save time. Now I need to learn how to use Twitter.

You really neaten it seem so unchaste with your show but I learn this issue to be truly something which I opine I would never realise. It seems too complicated and really encompassing for me. I am hunt gardant for your succeeding post, I will try to get the grasp of it!
