6 Takeaways for Stay-at-Home CEOs

By Ginny Grimsley
Veteran Entrepreneur Shares Tips for Balancing Business and Family

Being young and inexperienced can be intimidating for stay-at-home entrepreneurs, but it doesn't mean you're making mistakes, says veteran businesswoman Renae Christine.

Fresh out of college at 23, she thought she'd done something wrong when the wholesaler for her stationery company assigned her a personal representative.

"In reality I was doing so much business with them that they wanted to ensure my satisfaction," says Christine, a serial entrepreneur who has created dozens of successful home-based businesses for herself and others. She shares practical how-to advice in her new book, "Home Business Startup Bible," (http://richmombusiness.com/).

She was the busy mother of a 2-year-old and she'd just returned home - to the mess left in the wake of last-minute packing -- when the rep showed up, she says.

"I was mortified when he walked into my home/business and he was shocked, but the experience marked my first success as an official business," she says. "It was actually the beginning of a great relationship."

Though it turned out well, Christine says her first years in business would have been much happier if she hadn't had to deal with her own painful feelings of self-doubt, embarrassment, guilt, etc.

"The good news is - no stay-at-home entrepreneur needs to feel that way," she says.

She offers these tips for maintaining professionalism in business without sacrificing - or feeling guilty about -- family.

•  Don't apologize for your kids. We need to stop apologizing for our kids' squawks and energy while we're on the phone or in meetings. Kids are kids and to them, Mommy is Mommy and their home is their home 24/7. If anything, we can all learn from our children and lighten up during business chats.

•  Don't pick up the phone when you're not ready. I used to think I had to say yes to everyone, including the telephone whenever it rang. Don't answer the phone if you're not ready to speak; if it's important, the caller will leave a message. Consider an online chat system for your website; I use a free one via craftysyntax.com.

•  Add a disclosure message to your call-answering service. My disclosure indicates the quickest way to reach me, which is chat or email. Email is quickly becoming everyone's preferred method of communication anyway, and this way, we all have a digital trail that will help us stay organized.

•  Say no and don't apologize for it. You can say no to lots of things, like PTA meetings and extra bake sales for your kids' school. When you say yes to those things, you are saying no to your business. You have to think of your new business as if you are your own boss. Would you ask your boss for a day off so you can sell cupcakes? Probably not.

•  Pick a neutral location. If you need to have business meetings in person, I suggest choosing a neutral place like a coffee shop. Don't allow them to come to your home and, if you can avoid it, don't go to their office. If you're negotiating, this can give them a home-field advantage.

•  Just say it. I continue to attend trade shows. When I tell companies that I work from home, they might give me an indifferent attitude and hastily move on to chat up a brick-and-mortar owner. I simply take my business elsewhere; I know the value of my business, and so will another vendor.

PHOTO SQUARES ON SALE FOR AUTISM AWARENESS JERSEYS

By Marco LaNave
River Bandits will wear specialty jerseys for third annual photo jersey auction Friday, Aug. 8
DAVENPORT, Iowa. (June 27, 2014) - The Quad Cities River Bandits are again offering fans the chance to put their photographs in small squares in the team's jersey numbers for the annual photo jersey auction on Autism Awareness Night presented by KWQC on Aug. 8 at Modern Woodmen Park. All of the proceeds of the square purchases and jersey auction will benefit the Quad Cities Autism Center Inc.
At $25 per square, fans can purchase a space in the River Bandits' jersey numbers to feature a photograph of themselves, a family member or friend, or a picture chosen by the Quad Cities Autism Center. A limited number of squares are available, and each square comes with a certificate of purchase. Each square is guaranteed to be on at least one jersey, and the maximum individual order is five squares.
In 2012, the River Bandits became the first U.S. professional sports team to hold a photo jersey auction for charity, and the team's second annual event was recognized last season with the annual Golden Bobblehead Award for the Best Charity Promotion or Event in Minor League Baseball.
"We are thrilled to partner again with the Quad Cities Autism Center to give River Bandits fans another incredible opportunity to be part of a nationally-recognized promotion and help fight autism right here in the Quad Cities," said River Bandits owner Dave Heller. "The Quad Cities community has shown generous and enthusiastic support for the photo jersey auction and has demonstrated its determination to help fight autism, and we are excited for another memorable event at Modern Woodmen Park!"
In 2013, the River Bandits' Autism Awareness Night raised more than $12,000. The promotion was selected in September 2013 among nearly 200 nominations as a finalist in its promotional category. It was later selected as the 2013 Golden Bobblehead Award winner for Best Charity Promotion or Event at Minor League Baseball Promotional Seminar in Louisville, Ky., last September.
Fans can order the photo squares by completing the form at www.riverbandits.com, calling 563-324-3000 or emailing Alex@riverbandits.com.
UP NEXT: The River Bandits return home for the Fourth of July weekend, beginning with a 7 p.m. game Friday, July 4, to be followed by Fourth of July Fireworks presented by Smart Toyota of the Quad Cities, WLLR and WQAD. Game tickets are available at www.riverbandits.com. To order any of the River Bandits 2014 ticket plans - with new lower prices - call the River Bandits box office at 563-324-3000. Season ticket and mini-plan packages start at just seven games and begin at less than $40. Call a River Bandits account representative today to choose your seats and get the details of our various mini-plan packages.

Quad Cities Gilda's Club installs LIVE wall to benefit visitors

By Ronna Walker-Johnson

Gilda's Club Quad Cities is enhancing their surroundings with a therapeutic LiveScreen® from Roof Top Sedums of the Quad Cities. This vertical growing system gives people the chance to create accessible gardens with herbs and vegetables, annuals, perennials or succulents in small spaces. This new innovation can turn any space into a vertical garden. LiveScreen® is a big innovation in the green industry and features a mobile, fully assembled unit that comes two-sided on wheels, and ready to plant.

In 2013, Gilda's Club received a grant from Tom's of Maine 50 States to support an initiative called G.R.O.W. which stands for Giving Resources Organically Within.  Gilda's Club Quad Cities Outreach Manager, Erin Williams says, "Through this initiative, our goal is to provide access and information on organic fruits and vegetables. We wanted to have an on-site community garden for our members who have all been impacted by a cancer diagnosis. The LiveScreen® was the perfect solution. It allows folks to participate in the gardening process, no matter what their level of physical ability. We didn't have the appropriate space on our property for an organic garden, so the LiveScreen® really addressed the problem. We love that it is self-watering, needs no weeding, and animals don't seem to bother it. Our members have already benefited from it greatly, through the planting process, weekly salad luncheons and having the opportunity to try things they might not otherwise have the chance to do."

LiveWall® products, which include LiveScreen® are being added to locations throughout the country in a variety of settings from traditional home gardens, to business court yards or as therapeutic green spaces for hospitals, assisted living centers and schools.  Co-founder of Roof Top Sedums, Teresa Nelson explains, "We are excited to have an example of this new product available here in the Quad Cities.  LiveScreen® is a big innovation in our industry and really opens up commercial and residential buildings to a whole new look and feel; we really couldn't grow vertically effectively in the past."

Inspired by traditional window boxes, the LiveWall® and LiveScreen® feature rows of square planters oriented upwards to mimic natural plant growth. Both products use an irrigation system at each planter level meant to resemble natural rain flow over plants.  LiveWall® and LiveScreen® planters can be pre-grown and look immediately beautiful upon install.  Even in non-growing seasons, both LiveWall® and LiveScreen® remain attractive, because the planters have a brick-like look that blends in well with surroundings.

Build a Better Burger

By Everyday Health

So, the stats are pretty unappetizing, but that doesn't mean you have to swear off burgers for good. When it comes to chowing down on this barbecue favorite, it's always better to go homemade, where you have complete control over the ingredients going in to your meal.

Follow these tips for a better-for-you burger:

•Go organic. To avoid additives and hormones, shop your local farmer's market for locally-sourced, organic meat products.

• Opt for lean turkey meat over beef. "Beef burgers add up fast in the fat department - especially saturated fat, which is important to keep track of for cardiovascular health and your waistline," says Keren Gilbert, MS, RD, founder and president of Decision Nutrition. "Lean turkey meat has half the saturated fat of beef; make sure the label says at least 93 percent lean."

• Increase moisture. "Lean turkey burgers tend to be dry since the fat content is low," says Gilbert. "To up the moisture of your burger, I suggest adding onions, shredded zucchini, shredded carrots, or spinach." These veggies also up the fiber content, helping you to feel more satiated, Gilbert adds.

• Add a healthy binding agent. Breadcrumbs are the most popular ingredient for binding ground meat, but Gilbert suggests swapping them for fiber-rich oats. Another option: Chia seeds, which are a great binder that also ups the nutritional profile of your burger. She recommends using 1/2 cup of either ingredient to 1 pound of turkey.

• Season smart. Up the flavor of your patty with calorie-free flavorings. Gilbert suggests hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, or paprika.

• Condiment swap. "Even a lean, healthy burger can take a turn for the worse when topped with bacon, cheese, or creamy sauces," says Gilbert. She suggests passing on the caloric add-ons in favor of salsa, mustard, or veggie toppings like peppers and onions.
