Vacation or escape?

Posted on October 27, 2008 by Tina

I’m reading Seth Godin’s new book Tribes, and something on page 101 jumped out at me and bopped me over the head.
Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.
Isn’t that the way to live? Heck yea!
This sentence hit me in a […]

The bigger impact of working virtually

Posted on July 29, 2008 by Tina

Loving the blog Web Worker Daily - reading it feels like a homecoming, these guys so get what my day to day existence is like!
Really great post today on Telecommuting Trends, which summarizes some great points from a recent article at Economist.com called Home Warriors.
I’ve always been a huge fan of working from home for […]

A day in the life…

Posted on June 25, 2008 by Tina

Ah the joys of working from home with children, i’m sure many of you can relate! I thought I would have some fun and get an illustration done to show what life is like day-to-day here in the Forsyth household with me and my two girls Sam and Lexi. (There is an art to typing […]

Just Say No…

Posted on January 23, 2008 by Tina

Received this update from a fellow coach/business owner the other day… we had recently done a few coaching sessions on creating products for their business.
You asked about products. Well, to be honest, we aren’t working on any, mainly because we felt like we were forcing ourselves into a box that we didn’t want to pursue. […]

Some of you may already be familiar with the One Laptop Per Child Initiative at XOGiving.com.
The brainchild of MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte, the mission of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is to provide a means for learning, self-expression, and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access […]

Are you a lurker?

Posted on November 15, 2006 by Tina

This comment from a coach on a Q&A Membership call I did the other day really made me think.
“Now that i’m no longer a lurker, my business is going much better”
(For those not familiar with the term ‘lurker’, in the world of teleclasses it refers to someone who is on the bridgeline but doesn’t say […]

When it rains it pours…

Posted on June 23, 2006 by Tina

Things are busy as can be here in the Forsyth household… along with our new baby Samantha (who is 3 months old today, yay!) we have now decided to move back to my hometown. Very excited about the move, however it now means selling our place here in Calgary, packing ‘er up, and finding a […]

I’m baaack…

I’m back in action, after taking a short but rewarding maternity leave break.
We welcomed our daughter Samantha Grace Forsyth into the world on March 23, 2006. She has been an absolute joy, and has made the transition to motherhood quite smooth for me (even letting me get sleep at night, yay!).
I couldn’t resist sharing this […]

Time to officially stop working…

Posted on March 2, 2006 by Tina

That’s right folks, im hanging up my ‘typing fingers’ and starting maternity leave as of today.
Due to my higher blood pressure my midwife advised me to ‘take it easy’ and try to work as little as possible. In fact she offered to write me a doctors’ note if you don’t believe me (haha… im like, […]

Stockdale’s Paradox

Posted on February 10, 2006 by Tina

Very cool article below from Perry Marshall, that hit home for me today in a different way.
As you may know, we’ve been having some problems with our dog being more aggressive than i’d like her to be. Just this morning while walking her she did a bit of a lunge/growl at a person walking by […]
