Dear Readers,We are now planning our 2nd annual Making An Impact Fora Cause and part o the proceeds this year will benet TheSandbox! Save the date. It will be held on Friday November1, 2013. This issue is dedicated to all mothers! I want to wishall mothers a very Happy Mothers Day! Mothers Day is a dayto celebrate motherhood. In this day, we show our love andgrateulness to our mothers. In closing I eel this poem says it best:

More Than A Mother

When God set the world in place, when He hung the stars up inspace, when He made the land and the sea, then He made youand me. He sat back and saw all that was good; He saw thingsto be as they should. Just one more blessing He had in store; Hecreated a mother, but whatever or? He knew a mother wouldhave a special place to shine His reection on her childs ace. Amother will walk the extra mile just to see her children smile.Shell work her ngers to the bone to make a house into a home.A mother is there to teach and guide, a mother will stay right byyour side. Shell be there through your pain and strie; shell stayconstant in your lie. A mother will lend a helping hand until you

have the strength to stand. Shell pick you up when you are down;when you need a riend shell stick around. A mother is one wholistens well, will keep her word; will never tell. A mother neverpokes or pries but stands quietly by your side, giving you thestrength you need, encouraging you to succeed. A mother is onewho can be strong when you need someone to lean on. Youremore than a mother to me; a reection o Him in your ace I see, alove that knows no boundaries.

Im glad that you chose to be all this and more to me.You share a love that knows no end, youre more than my mother,

and you are my riend.

Kari Keshmiry

Have a great month!Mimi

How did you get started in thisbusiness? What is your back-

ground-what were you doing

beore this business?

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela andwhen I nished my elementary schoolmy parents decided that it would bebest o me to learn another languageand decided to relocate to Miami,

Florida. That is where I completedmy high school and subsequentlyattended Nova Southeastern Uni-versity where I obtained a Bachelorsdegree in Business Managementwith a minor in accounting. Prior toattending Nova Southeastern Univer-

sity I worked as a receptionist whereI learned how to do Bookkeeping onmanual ledgers, yes, it was a long timeago! That is when I realized I had aknack or numbers and order and thatAccounting would be my proession.

What is a good early story

about your business?

When I rst started my business, Iknew probably all but 5 people intown, so I knew I had to work hardat getting the word out that I was inbusiness and ready to serve clients.Without a real budget or advertise-ment, I just went to town and started

participating in networking eventsin hopes o meeting people that

needed my services. Long story short,I opted or bartering my services inexchange o publicity. That was myrst big deal! My phone started ring-ing and now I know a lot more than 5people in town!

What is unusual or unique about

your business, in comparison to your

competitors or similar businesses?Even though I am in the accountingbusiness and there are many book-keepers, accountants and CPAs in themarket, our accounting managementapproach and the use o technologysets us apart. We are an outsource rmthat is totally engaged with its clients

and use the analytical skills o our teamto provide our clients with not justacts but simple solutions to everydaybusiness management problems.

Is there a customer experience

you are most proud o?

We are our clients best cheerlead-ers. We get excited about each o our

clients successes and achievements.In January o this year we met withone o clients to review their 2012 -nancials beore turning it over to theirCPA or taxes and we had the pleasantexperience o telling our client thatthey had reached their rst $1 Million

dollars in sales. That was special be-cause we elt part o that success as we

helped our client clean up the booksand get on a monthly plan to managetheir nancial aspect o the business.

Do you do any charity

or non prot work?

Yes, I work closely with the LatinAmerican Chamber o commerce pro-viding workshops in Spanish or the

new Latin American business ownersand or the ones that want to start abusiness in Charlotte to help themnavigate through the local require-ments as well as the IRS requirementsto keep in compliance and ready orbusiness. I also work with the IRS asa volunteer instructor or small busi-

nesses to teach them the tax implica-tions o owning a small business andall o the resources available to them.

Who are some o your

most notable clients?

The list can get pretty large as we haveinteresting clients all around, we catersbusinesses rom beauty shops, chiro-

practors, marketing rms, restaurants,gaming, consultants to Non-protsand they are all unique and interesting.

What is an interesting story about

a client interaction you had?

All o our interactions are interesting



because by nature entrepreneurs arecreative people who do not necessar-ily conorm to order which is the maincore o our business, to organize andprovide a solid accounting oundationor our clients to succeed. So needlessto say, getting any o our clients into ourorganized system is always interestingand challenging but they all eventuallyollow the system and appreciate theorder and structure we provide to them.

What are some o your greatest

challenges in your business?

The greatest challenge is getting pros-

pects to understand the value webring to their organization, that oncewe become an extension o their busi-ness, they really cannot rememberhow they survived or so long! Smallbusiness owners are very cost con-sciences so when they think they cando it themselves and save money it isvery hard to turn them into customers.The ones that are willing to give it a try,will not have it any other way now!

What would you most like

our readers to know about

your journey in business?

I would love your readers to knowthat even though the business jour-ney o owning a business is at timesstressul, challenging and exhausting,i you are doing what you are meantto do and you are using your talentsto better other peoples lie then it is allworth it. It is never too late to pursueyour dreams, I started late but I am ona wonderul journey that makes mehappy beyond my dreams!

Change Your ToughtsSharpenYour Business...Shif Your Lie!

W

hat are you thoughtssaying? Are you pay-ing attention to your

thoughts and i so whatare they saying about you, your businessand ultimately your lie? Your thoughtsare powerul and what you say aboutyoursel, your business and your lie areall related back to your thoughts in re-gards whether you are successul or youail at some things.

Your thoughts are truly dominating yourlie and when you are an entrepreneuror business owner you must understandthat what you speak and how you eelabout what you do plays a huge part inthe lie o your business and how youattract and interact with your clients. SoI ask you again, what are you thinking

about when it comes to your businessand lie as a whole?

When you rst started your business oreven came up with your business idea,you were so excited and thought all othese positive thoughts that no one can

speak negative about what you want todo; nor did you want to think negativelyabout anything that you were going to

do. You had it in your mind that Thisis what I am going to do and no one isgoing to stop me, attitude.

You had thoughts o thinking andplaying BIG and you were on the topo the clouds because you knew whatyou were called to do. Now! Is thetime to look at your business again

and reshape, regroup, or rewind yourthoughts about your business to thosedays so that you can not only to dowhat you said you were going to do,but because it is your desire to do yourlies work.

It is the second quarter now already o

2013 and have you began to start whatyou stated you wanted to do this year?How much o your thoughts have keptyou back rom playing BIG in your busi-ness and in lie? To change your busi-ness and or you to shit your lie, youhave to change some things i you are

By Elyshia Brooks



going to succeed in business and in liebecause they all are connected. So letslook at some things that you can do tochannel your thoughts or a success-ul business and lie:

1.What You Think Spills Over in YourBusiness & Liestyle Brand: It is truethat what you think and eel shouldbe included and exude out into yourmarketing materials and website.

When your divine clients encounteryou, they should know what they aregoing to receive based on the con-nection that had with you either onyour website or through your market-ing materials. What you are thinkingand what energy you put out thereshould line up with how you do busi-ness and live your lie; being totallyauthentic as you can. So what are yourdivine clients receiving rom you thatspeaks volumes about who you are?

2. Your Message To The World SaysWhat: When you have a clear andconcise message that speaks directly

to your divine clients exactly who youare, then you are able to do businesswith those that need you and can payyou what you are worth so that youcan live the liestyle that you deserve.However, that is because you are clearon your thoughts about what it is you

are doing. Your message is what youshare with the world that comes romdeep within your soul and puts youon the path to purpose.

3.Your Business Model Speaks: Whenyou designed your business model,you designed it so that you can havevarious streams o income hopeully,but what do you tell yoursel aboutyour business model? Are you a per-

ectionist and your thoughts keep yougoing to the point where you keepchanging your model because yousee another shiny object? I have hadclients and even mysel continue torecreate my business model because Isaw what others were doing and I eltthat I had to be doing the same thingand that is simply not the case.

When you have clarity about yourpurpose, passion and business model,you are able to work rom that pointand not look at what others are doingbecause you are special and unique inyour own way.

When you not grounded in yourthoughts and purpose, your thoughtswill have you all over the place and yourbusiness would not have a oundation.Thereore, you see why it is so impor-tant to mind your thoughts and to stayocused on what your business is and



not where your thoughts can drit you.Your thoughts play a major role in vari-

ous aspects o your business and lie;thereore, you have to mind and con-trol your thoughts so that they wontget out alignment to where you wantto go in your business and in lie.

Some things that you can do to keeptrack o your thoughts and stay o-

cused are:

1. Journal your thoughts daily when-ever is a good time or you. Be in aquiet space that you can allow yourthoughts to ow.

2. Keep a voice recorder around sothat you can speak them so that

you can go back to record them topaper. There is something aboutputting your thoughts to paperthat keeps you ocused.

3. Put them to a vision board, reminder

list or whatever you have that youcan remember to read on a daily or

weekly basis.

When you are have your thoughts andgoals in ront o you and you and goback to them and put action to them,then you are holding yoursel to a levelo commitment that you can bring topass in your business and also create a

liestyle that speaks to your destiny andpurpose or your lie.

So again, I ask you what you are think-ing? What are your thoughts creating inyour business and in your lie? Are yourthoughts holding you back or pushingyou orward into the best lie that youdesire and living on purpose? I not,

then you need to do an assessment oyour thoughts and change what needsto be changed so that you can get towhere you want to be. Make TodayBe That Day That You Change YourThoughts For Your Business and LieSake! You Deserve It!

ts the nightmare o every busi-ness with an online presence; youget a letter in the mail. Its a lawyer

letter. It says you have been us-ing a pirated image somewhere in yourbusiness and you are being sued....

This actually happens to businesses. Inact, it happened to a riend o mine. Heborrowed an image he ound on Googleimages, assuming it was sae to use. Itwasnt. Beore long, he received such a

letter rom a lawyer. The image that hethought was sae was actually ownedby one o the biggest stock photo com-panies on the web. They threatened totake him to court and sue or copyrightinringement. They settled the case outo court or around $2000.

The ironic thing was that i he had pur-chased the image directly rom them,he couldve used it legally and it wouldonly have cost him two dollars, insteado two thousand. So how can you besure that the image youre about to useon your website, your yer or your

book is 100% legal and will keep youout o trouble?

The answer to that question is easy, iyou know where to look. There are manysites that people think are sae to useor business images, but arent. Likewise,there are many sites that ofer wonder-ul royalty-ree or public domain images,that most people have never heard o.

Google Images

This is where most businesses startlooking or images. Its easy enough todo, you go into Googles image eature,type in what youre looking or, and a mil-lion images populate your screen. Its astand its convenient. However, there is oneslight problem. Most o the images onGoogle images are actually copyrighted.

Though Google does have a royaltyree image unction, it is not 100%oolproo. Sometimes, the imagemeans royalty ree ater you pay or it.The best advice or Google images is notto use Google to nd your images at all.

Facebook

Facebook comes with a built-in Cre-

ative Commons license. Creative Com-mons means you can share and usuallyremix the image. Because o that, peo-ple think taking images of Facebook issae. The problem comes in becausesome people actually upload copy-righted images onto Facebook. Theway Facebooks terms o service is setup, they are not responsible or copy-

righted images on their site. However,i you borrow an image of o Facebookthat turns out to be copyrighted, theirterms o service will not protect you.Thats why its best to look elsewhere orimages to use in your business.

Flickr

Flickr is one o the best places to startlooking or royalty-ree images. LikeFacebook, Flickr has a Creative Com-mons license. However, unlike Face-book they do not encourage the useo pictures you did not take yoursel.Thats not to say no one will ever up-load copyrighted images, but theyredenitely going against Flickrs terms

o service i they do. Most pictureson Flickr are sae to use. However, itshould be mentioned that i the imag-es are o people, pets or inside amousplaces they do need a model release.Without one, you could still get suedor using the likeness.

Stock Image Sites

Stock image sites are sites that make

money through the licensing pictures.These images already come with amodel release or all people, places andpets. Usually, an image rom one othese sites ranges anywhere rom $1-$5.However i youre using it in a book orsomething else that you plan to sell, anextended license is required. Extendedlicenses usually cost between $50-$100.

Mourgele

One o the most popular places to ndree legal pictures is morguele.com.Morguele is a site that ofers ree im-ages that you can use or almost anypurpose. These images can be used oryour websites, yers and more. One o

the best things about using morgelesis that they state i a model release isrequired and i they have it. The major-ity o pictures have one. There are veryew restrictions on mourgele images.

Public Domain Sites

I you enjoy creating with images andwant an image you can use as raw

material to create a new image, con-sider looking into true public domainsites. True public domain sites are ullo images. Usually, these images aregovernment photographs or imageswith expired copyrights. Because theyarent protected by copyright, you can



use these images either as is or turnthem into something new.

Using images rom these sites in-volves a great deal o research andusually some photo editing. However,not only can you nd spectacular art-work, you can also use this artwork oranything you want, including makingmoney. Here are three o the best sitesor nding public domain artwork.

Wikimedia Commons

Part o the Wikimedia group that ownsWikipedia, Wikimedia Commons hastens o thousands o public domainpictures and illustrations o peoples,places, things and historical events. Thegovernment oten releases their publicdomain pictures here. Read the licensecareully. Sometimes the image issimply Creative Commons, not publicdomain. While you can still use Cre-ative Commons on your site, you cantdo anything with it that involves mak-ing money, (like putting it in a book.)

Archive.org

A site that prides itsel on trying toarchive all o human history or uturegenerations, archive.org is home toan unbelievable number o books,magazines, music, movies and more.Most o these items are in the publicdomain. When using archive.org, lookor the word public domain or publicdomain mark to veriy this is true othe item in question.

Digital Comic Museum .com

Dedicated to preserving comics romthe Golden Age o comics, everythingon this site is public domain. I yourelooking or comic book art or retroillustrations, then Digital Comic Mu-seum is the place to go.Even though it can be tempting to useGoogle or images, it can also be veryexpensive. I you borrow the wrongimage, you could end up paying thou-sands o dollars. Thankully, there areplenty o places online where you cannd inexpensive or even ree images.You just have to know where to look.

hronic disease in the workplace is a critical issue. Itafects our businesses; i

not today, it will tomor-row. Whether it is you, the businessowner, or whether it is an employee oyours, it is really a very important issue,stated Barbara Kasof, President andCEO o Women Impacting Public Pol-icy (www.WIPP.org) as she started theconversation about the various chronic

illnesses and its efects on small busi-nesses. She continued, it afects yourrevenues and it afects the morale oyour employees.whether it is mi-graines, rheumatoid arthritis, canceror stroke, chronic disease can afect usall. None o us are immuneit is animportant business issue and it is (also)an economic issue.

Introducing Working Women Rheuma-toid Arthritis Project a.k.a. WRAP 2013(www.wrap2013.org), a joint efortbetween Women Impacting PublicPolicy (www.WIPP.org) and the Busi-ness and Proessional Womens Foun-

dation (www.bpwoundation.org), anawareness project or working womenand employers.

WIPP and BPW, sponsored a luncheonheld at the Oce Depot Headquartersin Boca Raton, Florida, on April 3, 2013,as part o the Enterprising WomenConerence. A panel was moderatedby Ann Sullivan, President o MadisonServices Group, Inc. (www.madison-

servicesgroup.com) and who leads thelegislative eforts or WIPP.

Chronic Disease also includes arthritis,asthma, diabetes, COPD, heart diseaseand HIV/AIDS. There is a ne linebetween knowing what you shouldknow about your employees and theirhealth, and what you are allowed to

ask them. This topic is very pertinentto most small businesses because wedont have Human Resources depart-ments, stated Ms. Sullivan. She sharedwith us that in the United States: It is the leading cause of death

Can We Talk... AboutChronic Illness in the Work Place?

by Vilma Betancourt-ODay



1 in 2 adults has had at least onechronic illness;

Employees aected by chronic illnessspend about 48 minutes out o eachwork day dealing with their condition;

The US spent $2.5 trillion on healthcare, a lot o which is chronic illnesses.

Panel members represented the viewpoints o: A doctor (Dr. Yvonne Sherrer, Rheu-

matologist and Medical Director othe Centre or Rheumatology, Immu-nology and Arthritis);

A Rheumatoid Arthritis patient (KellySkidmore, Vice President o Commu-nity Relations or United Healthcare

Community Plan o Florida) and An employer (Shelli Dallacqua, owner

o Shelten Media, LLC, a Woman-Owned Small Business).

Dr. Sherrer pointed out, based on herextensive experience with emalepatients who sufer rom chronicillnesses, that: Women are disproportionately aected; First occurs during the ages of 20-50;

Many women with chronic diseasework because 1) they have a sense osel-worth and value, they dont wantto give up the opportunity to be aproductive employee and/orcitizen and 2) they need health

insurance coverage; Patients/employees are perceived dif-

erently once the employer and otheremployees are made aware o theirmedical issues;

Make adjustments to employees sched-ule based on their physical challenges;

Allow the employee to have breaks,as needed, throughout the work day;

Determine any work/disease mismatchand work with your employee based on

their limitations and disabilities; The employees doctor needs to as-sess 1) risk i.e. is the job at risk, canthe employee carry heavy boxes? 2)capacity can they do the job saely?and 3) tolerance (mismatch) howcan employee do the job so they cantolerate it and in a way that they arestill productive.

Ms. Skidmore, who sufers rom Rheu-matoid Arthritis since the age o our,said that individuals with chronicillnesses do not want to be treateddiferently (dont eel sorry or me)and they need to have a conversationwith their employer about any physi-

cal limitations and special accom-modations required. For example,she has a small space heater at herdesk because she is usually cold dueto RA. She also shared with us that inDecember she sufered a heart attackthat her cardiologist believes was due

to the massive doses o cortisone shehas received throughout her lietime.

Ms. Dallacqua, the Small Business employ-er, recently had an employee (Ian Peter-son, 21 years old) with a chronic disease(leukemia). Mr. Peterson was an integralpart o the team at Shelten Media. Hewanted to continue working and chang-es were made in order to accommodatehim during his radiation treatments:

Restructured work load;Provided thetools he needed (a laptop with appropri-ate sotware/internet connection);Did not give him projects with short termdeadlines because o the unpredictabilityo how he would eel rom one day toanother; She suggested that as a busi-ness owner, you should consider buyingDisability Insurance in case in the utureyou are incapacitated due to an illness.

Sadly, Mr. Peterson passed away onFebruary 27, 2013. To read more abouthis story, you may visit http://www.technicianonline.com/eatures/cam-pus_and_capitol/article_3bc30ec8-

904c-11e2-98c2-0019bb3031a.html.

What i an employees misses work tocare or a spouse that has a chronicillness? Should the employer providea exible schedule or them? Yes! Yesthey should!



According to the EEOC website, Oncea person is hired and has started work,an employer generally can only askmedical questions or require a medicalexam i the employer needs medicaldocumentation to support an employ-ees request or an accommodation ori the employer has reason to believean employee would not be able toperorm a job successully or saely

because o a medical condition.

The Department o Labor and the U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity Com-mission government websites outlinethe various rules and regulations afect-ing the employer and employees rights.

and may even inspire riends and amily.

Stay hydrated - Aim to drink one gal-

lon o water each day. This will help pre-

vent dehydration while youre out play-

ing in the sun, plus itll keep you eeling

The Journey Begins

One year out o college Christinemoved to Asheville, North Carolina. Asher popularity grew and she becamea successul musician, songwriter andentrepreneur who owned her ownrecord label, Christine was requentlyapproached or advice on how to runa protable business. She had mas-tered the skills o providing her answith a great musical perormance

while also providing nancial securityor hersel and her crew.

As a perormer, she worked closely withher team to make sure that all the equip-ment and other technical matters werein place and working properly (back-stage: behind the scenes tedious work).When she switched hats and worked onthe business, her let brain took over asshe managed the business which includ-ed analyzing the nancial reports andcash ow (backstage: also behind thescenes tedious work). And then therewas the marketing that would createmore opportunities or her.

When running a successul business,Christine believes that there must besystems in place. As a musician, shehad a system which included, amongother things, having sound checksbeore each perormance. In her busi-ness, she has systems in place to make

sure that marketing, administrative andnancial matters are handled accord-ingly and on a timely basis. By bring-ing her own experiences into her men-toring business, she is able to provideto her clients the tools and strategiesthey need to create an empire.

Trial by Fire

Christine has acquired the knowledgeshe possesses today, as she says, in a

trial by re method. Throughout herjourney rom musician, songwriter,entrepreneur and mentor to women,she has learned many lessons. She be-lieves that your lies purpose is biggerthan the road youre on, and with herUpLevelYourLie Academy (uplevely-ourlie.com), she guides her studentson what might be a very challenging,yet incredibly rewarding process. Theprogram is ocused on AUTHENTIClearning, pushes participants to beREAL and to take ACTION which willcreate positive RESULTS. Making aninvestment in yoursel by participatingin the various programs that Christine

A rm believer that there is a betterway to create the lie that you loveand that your habits create your des-tiny, Christine teaches her pupils that

by making the decision to eliminatethings that are not aligned with theirintentions, taking the appropriatesteps and being deliberate with theiractions, they can break through theirmental barriers and achieve the clarityneeded to live an authentic lie.

Are you prepared to begin the arduousjourney o discovering who you reallyare and begin living an authentic lie?To be in love with the lie you have? Topeel back the many layers o your liesexperiences, like an onion, in order tond clarity, dene your intentions andrelease all energy blocks? It takes in-ner strength and daily practice in order

to make the required cellular changes.There will be inner changes on a cel-lular level. Change your thoughts (andhabits) and your lie will change.

Inuential People

Sal, a Programmer (and mentor) that

worked with Christine, was inuen-tial in her lie. He believed in her andknew that she was very talented andpossessed the qualities o a true leader.An authentic leader in the world obusiness coaching, she denitely is.

Dan Sullivan, the Strategic Coach(The 10X Coach or Entrepreneurs)was hired by Christine. Mr. Sullivan isknown or working with entrepreneurs

and helping them become more pro-ductive and build protable business-es. She has learned rom the very best.Women who have been inuentialin her lie include Mary Chapin Car-penter, an American olk and countrymusic singer, songwriter and musicianand Oprah Winrey, the well knowntalk show host, actress, producer, andphilanthropist. Both o these womenproject an aura o authenticity, which isvery important in Christines lie.

Her Role as a Mentor,

Thought Leader, Teacher

drain their energy and keep them romliving a happy lie, but she also teachesthem the basics o running a business.She works with most clients or abouta year and ofers them a structuredplan o action. There are various Up-Level programs available.

She provides the ramework or her clients

to grow and run a successul business.When you master the marketing and

the mindset, she says, you will succeed.

Many women entrepreneurs do not ocusenough attention on marketing their busi-

nesses and this is a very big mistake.

Dont be a victim o the universe, shecounsels. Dont let ear block and drainyour energy. Give yoursel permission to

live an authentic lie. Looking back intoher youth, she wishes she had not beenas sensitive and to have ound her voiceearlier and to have owned it. But wis-dom comes with time and her youngersel had much growing to do. Today shelives in a constant state o authenticity.

Living an Authentic

Lie and the Bucket List

She has lived a very ullling lie andchooses to be present at every mo-ment. Her work and seeing her clientsmake breakthroughs brings her truejoy. Spending time with her husbandis a top priority. On her bucket listare visiting the Grand Canyon and

spending time in Latin America soshe can immerse hersel in the cul-ture and learn how to speak Spanish.I ofered my parents house in LittleHavana/Miami, Florida where she canbe immersed in a variety o Latinocultures and diferent dialects and she

doesnt need a Passport. The oferremains on the table.

Stands up or Mother Earth

In Christines world, Mother Earth isvery important and she has immenserespect or our eco system. She wantsothers to learn about how importantnature is and that we need to workwith our natural resources, like the in-sect world. Every creature, big or small,

plays an important role. She would liketo see us creating time travel whatan experience that would be.

Her journey in lie has been very mean-ingul and ullling, she has learnedrom her mistakes and shares with herclients the secrets to wealth creation byremoving energy blocks, challengingthem and teaching them the basics tobuilding successul small businesses.
