Time Management is very near and dear to my heart, as the owner and creator of The Diva Success System which teaches Party Plan Consultants how to be successful and build their business in as little as 30 minutes per day. So when I needed an app that would help me to not only organize MY time, but that of a busy family as well, I knew Google would have the answer I needed!

Another one of my Faves comes from Spark & Hustle - the Carolina Pad Personal Card Holder. I am a big fan of Business Card Holders that keep your cards looking clean, new, and professional even when getting tossed around in a purse of briefcase. The Carolina Pad Personal Card Holder does just that - and even has slots for your most used cards or pictures (which is what I use mine for) I love being able to show off my Little Divas while fishing a business card out of my purse... they ARE my "Why" after all.

Tweets, Status updates, Direct Messages, Replies... bouncing from Twitter to Facebook to Wordpress to LinkdIn... how are you supposed to keep up? With a little help... from a Hoot Owl:

Email has pretty much replaced every form of communication - fax, letter, telegram - even phone calls. According to radicati.com, there are approximately 3.1 billion email accounts Wordlwide. With Smartphones becoming more and more popular, it is expected there will be 531 million wireless email users in 2011, with that number growing to 1.2 billion by year-end 2015. Even more staggering is their estimated number of emails SENT Worldwide on a daily basis - 294 BILLION. That works out to be 2.8 million emails every SECOND.

One of the obstacles I had to overcome as a new Party Plan Consultant was... how do I CARRY all of this STUFF!?! Because I purchased one of the larger demo kits that my company offered, I literally had 80 or so products I had to tote around from party to party. Being the Diva that I am, suit cases just wasnt going to cut it, so I headed to the internet to see what I could find. That is when my love affair with Yazmo began.

The CardCubby has so many uses - and so many awesome colors - that I am certain it will not be long before it becomes a "staple" for all Home Party Plan Consultants. Check it out:

I love catalog purses. What better way to scream "I am a Party Plan Consultant" than to carry a purse that SHOWS your catalog right in front! The problem - they were always so EXPENSIVE! So I was totally thrilled when last year, Karen from TRN Designs contacted me about doing a review/giveaway of her hand made catalog purses!

Hey Divas! One of your Sister Divas emailed this morning asking for further explanation of the Party Squares game! This is one of those things that is SO much easier to explain by talking than writing, so I did a video. Hopefully I answered all of your questions! If not, leave your comments below, and I will getcha answered asap! :)

One of my favorite tools for success is a Vision Board. A Vision Board is simply a visual representation of your wants and dreams - all mashed together in one place. There is no "right" or "wrong" to a Vision Board. The idea behind this is that when you surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, what you want to drive, how you want to impact the world, or where you want to vacation, and by doing so, your life changes to match those images and those desires.

It is no secret that I am a huge lover of all things Apple. My iPhone4 and iPad are loved like members of the family. So when I find an App that I love, I have to share with everyone!

QR Codes were originally created for tracking parts in automobile manufacturing, but they have caught on quickly and are now being used for everything from marketing, information sharing, and customer care. Simply put, you can scan a QR Code with your Smartphone or other device, and you will be directed to whatever site that QR code is linked to.

Gardening is the term we use at Party Plan Divas for Marketing your business because it is literally like "planting seeds of success" to grow your business.

Several years ago while searching eBay for Gardening Tools, I ran across a company called eFavorMart. I was wowed not only at their awesome assortment of personalized goodies, but at the PRICE! Everything from customized organza bags, matchbooks, napkins, favor boxes... but all at a price that was much more reasonable than I ever would have expected. eFavorMart is geared mostly towards weddings, but with a little imagination, you can really come up with some awesome tools to boost your home party plan business!
