How to Avoid Getting Stuck in an "It's Complicated" Business Status

“It’s a cringeworthy moment when you see a friend change their Facebook relationship from one that’s committed, like “married,” “engaged,” or “in a relationship,” to “it’s complicated.” Ouch.

Meet Kimberly Spencer, Founder of Crown Yourself

“Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimberly Spencer.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Kimberly. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there. ’The idea for Crown Yourself came while I was on my 6-week honeymoon in Italy. Three weeks before my wedding, I was bought out of my first online company.

Are You Setting Smart Weight Loss Goals or Setting Yourself Up for Failure?

"Excuses also either go hand in hand with or like to disguise themselves as, blame.

"Creating anything, a film, a novel, a painting, even a character, is freaking scary. When you create, you enter into a new realm, the unknown, which sets off your fear synapses. (Don’t worry, this is a totally healthy, human built-in back up machine that warns us of impending danger.)

Totally healthy in life. Not necessarily in creation. Our brains just don’t know the difference."

The Beauty of Pageants: Lessons Learned by Strutting in Stilettos on Stage 

“I am a beauty queen. I am not brainless. I used to play with Barbies. I was a size two for about a minute, until I saw a piece of chocolate. I actually do love fitness and all things that glitter. I still occasionally wear my tiara around the house. I may seem like an anomaly from your view of the typical, ‘Pageant girl,’ but I can assure you, I’m not.”
