Interesting discussion on *Guru's*

I've recently found myself involved in a rather interesting conversation with friends Anita DeFrank, Kara Kelso and Alice Seba (whom I can't actually call a friend, but do know *of* her lol).

It started over a rant that Anita had about *Guru's*, and has grown into quite the discussion!

Check it out here

Today will be one of those days...

My daughter woke up during the night not feeling well :( She was ok, never sick or anything, but this morning she was still complaining about her tummy hurting and now a headache - in this family, migraines are a big problem. I've suffered from migraines since I was just a kid, my dad also had migraines, as well as other relatives on my side. On my husbands side, his mother and one of his sisters suffers from them as well, which means for my daughter she's getting it from both sides - not a good thing.

So, today my daughter will be home from school. My husband will be home from work and he's not feeling so great either.

I have an absolute ton of work to accomplish today, and no idea where to start (I'm thinking it's a lack of focus thing lol). Which is why I thought I'd start here, and get back on track with my blogging.

My two year old is going to play at the babysitters today, or I'll have absolutely no hope of getting any work done. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but this week I actually have deadlines LOL... so I can't avoid getting the job done.

I'm luckier than some work at home moms I know.. many don't have the luxury of an occassional babysitter! How does everyone else deal with deadlines and family?

I made a decision recently... one that I've considered off and on for a while, but finally started the ball rolling. I'm expanding... growing if you rather.

The main focus of Wahms United was, is and always will be to help fellow business owners succeed. I'm thinking however that trying to roll everything into one massive website is probably not the wisest move.

So, I'm beginning to grow my network of resource websites. The first two are now online, though admittedly I haven't made any changes to them at all (ie: copyright info etc).

The first is www.Womens-Portal.com which is pretty much a search engine for women's issues. I really liked the looks of the site when I saw it, so hopefully it's useful! I do plan on selling advertising in the form of banner ads etc on here, and the forum needs to be changed as right now it's linked to some third party site which I'm really not a fan of... but hey, things will come in time ;)

The second site and the one I have a lot of hopes for is www.Link-Trader.net. It's a text traffic exchange. It allows you to add your text link and specify your target catagories (websites) that you'd like your ad to be seen on. You then generate your own html code to your specifications, making it much easier to blend into your existing website - very unobtrusive ;)

So please feel free to check both the Womens Portal and Link Trader. Hopefully you'll find them both useful resources too!
