Sheltering-in-Home? All Stocked Up? What You Can Do Next
The current coronavirus scare has many cities, states, and our entire nation declaring a "shelter-in-place" or lockdown of many businesses and services. We're all having to learn how to navigate the stresses and challenges the virus has presented us.
None of us can escape or overlook our current reality and these challenges ... challenges that include how we spend downtime, should we have any after seeing to our own health, our families, and livelihoods. My wife, gramma to our 3 very active grandkids, has been scouring the internet trying to help to find activities, learning tools, and fun … (10 comments)
One of the social media sites I find most helpful (and enjoyable) is Pinterest. And I don't mean just business-wise either ... Need ideas for your home? Want to know how to repair something? Ideas for your landscaping, gardening? Love history? Travel? Fashion? Looking for a new recipe? You can search almost any topic on Pinterest and find a large array of "pins", info, tips, advice, pictures and more to look at and consider. I can't tell you the number of helpful and informative things my wife and I've found there. (Or … (38 comments)

No ... not that way! On Pinterest! I've been a big fan of Pinterest now for quite a while. As time and my participation on Pinterest has grown, I've seen very positive results for my business. Both from a client basis ... and that of meeting and working with new Referral Partners. Pinterest has definitely contributed to increased visibility online. But besides the business benefit to Pinterest ... I've just come to enjoy the site. Typically my wife (my marketing assistant) and I "pin" together. I think doing Pinterest as a team … (22 comments)
Ever find yourself in a conversation with someone and all they talk about is themselves? I have. All that "me, me, me"? Well, I lose interest pretty quickly ... Zzzzzzz ... sure cures insomnia! While reading and conducting my marketing and social media, I've noticed there seems to be a whole lot of that intense "me-ism" going on. Facebook and Twitter are loaded with it.

My wife is always saying that she has a hard time envisioning things. Sizes, square footage, how one items relates to another in size and color ... she needs something visual as help. I'm thinking the room planning tool that Lyn Sims, Schaumburg Real Estate - Northwest Suburbs - RE/MAX Suburban (IL) offers within her post ... from Urban Home ... addresses that need and will help her and others immensely.
