She works hard for the money

After being embarrassed into upgrading my old Samsung flip phone that I had for 3 years, I decided after much research to purchase the sleek and sexy BlackBerry Curve. Now that I'm on my third one because the first two kept malfunctioning, I find myself wondering how I ever lived without it. That blinking red light has me trained like one of Pavlov's subjects! When I press that trackball to see what it has to offer, my eyes light up and flicker with glee as I read the correspondence.  

I shove out of my mind the thought that I'm addicted, and push forward and within 5 minutes I've responded to potential corporate sponsors from Costco & Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group, and to top it off a technology company seeking the services of Kennedy Consulting.  The ability to respond and execute is the difference between success and failure and failure is not an option!  Don't forget one important aspect though...BALANCE!  This too is a key to success.

My BlackBerry indeed is a hard working woman and definitely deserves to be employee of the year!  Who else would do everything she does without asking for anything in return?  That is if you don't count the monthly bill.  So to all my fellow entrepreneurs, happy texting, tweeting, facebooking, emailing, talking and blogging. May it bring you much business success.

Big Shout out to Black Enterprise the business resource of the week!

  1. Pls, Blackberry is the way to go. iPhone has a lot of apps but my iPhone friends say it's more for a younger generation 18-27 y/o. All my iPhone peeps are switching to BB and I'll be re-uping with another one next month. *CRACKBERRY FOR LIFE!*

  2. I guess we're all passionate about our cell phones! These companies should give us some kick backs for all this free advertising.

  3. You know...I have a Palm Pre (I've always been a Palm girl...) and I absolutely LOVE IT! I have no idea how I lived without this phone before...but OOOOOHHHHHH...the consequences of being so "attainable!" The 200-300 email/texts per day, the phone calls at all hours of the day/night, and of course there's my addiction to FB! (I'm currently seeking counseling...) The balance is in knowing when to turn the ringer off and when to just let the battery die....

  4. Balance is definitely key and can mean the difference between success and failure. Our society shapes us to believe that more is more but when in fact it's the quality of our communications and not the quantity. Knowing how to be selective is key or like you said Tonya you can just let the battery die.
