Anyone who works with The Fixer must read, a lot. Homework of the book variety is de rigueur. When we first meet, in her best “psychic, intuitive, whatever her mystery” way she tells me I must go to Bruges and write a romance novel. Whaaa? She says I must read Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. And… Continue reading So, Diana, How About Lunch?…

Boys Get Embarrassed…
Well, well, well. For all their bravado, it seems our boys are a little embarrassed by sex toys as well. For those not up to speed, about a month ago The Fixer, my business, personal and all things betterment advisor gave me exercises to eject me full force from the box. One of those things… Continue reading Boys Get Embarrassed…
Snippets From A Day…
Put a group of entrepreneurs in an executive board room with The Fixer, mix well and see what happens. I love to see the reactions of others to her strange wisdom, gifts, insights and blunt conversation. There are some wide eyes, some doubts and, no doubt, some soul searching. Each person has an idea, a… Continue reading Snippets From A Day…
Out Of The Box Again…
10:41...Twenty-four more days... The next step on business growth journey is extending the reach of The Duchess Diaries. As with any business expansion new skills must be mastered, risks taken, faith polished and delivery must be all that's promised and more. After that, deliver some more. Oh, and jump out of the box.

The Pen Is Mightier Than Your Job…
1:24 PM...Twenty-seven days and counting until Amour moves to Duchess Diaries... Well, well, well. Some see The Duchess Diaries as merely a bit of fluff at day's end. Throw in some fashion sport, a little gossip, mix in our beloved snark and obsession with pointy toe pumps and that's the whole of it, right? Not so fast… Continue reading The Pen Is Mightier Than Your Job…
Poised, Present and Purposeful…
10:53 PM Twenty-seven days and counting 'til Amour transforms completely... It's Fixer Monday. Back to business. We talk advertising. She says I need to bitch up another level. Again? Thankfully, we swirl around in the spiritual for a while. "Your best approach is always poised, present and purposeful," she says. A trio, in tandem, that… Continue reading Poised, Present and Purposeful…
Part 2: Hold Onto Your Hats…
8:48 PM "Men invest in business," she says. "Women, we want the business but we look for two for one deals. American marketing companies have been very successful brainwashing us to forget we intuitively know value when we see it.” “Women are much worse afflicted by inelastic expectations than men. We believe in fairy tales.… Continue reading Part 2: Hold Onto Your Hats…
The Tale of The Green Bra…
6:48 PM We get one jaunt to the sex shop and it's back to business. The Fixer says even writers must learn business; no matter our biggest goal is just to wear pearls again. She begins somberly. Seventy-two percent of businesses--shops, nonprofits, products, services-- fail within the first three years. That's not to say some… Continue reading The Tale of The Green Bra…
And Now This?…
Can I write a summary for television? I guess so. Evidently, we're taking this show on the road. Advisor Girl informs me we're going to television. At this point, who the hell am I to argue? It's just a nationally syndicated talk show with a well known host. No biggie. Never say you can't do… Continue reading And Now This?…
Exhausted By A Book…Oh My
9:48 PM All people who work with The Fixer have homework. One chick had to go shopping, find accessories and buy some dresses. Bitch. I want that assignment. Me, I frustratingly fiddle with a new website and read books. My taste in books runs toward the classics, a big batch of nonfiction and fiction when… Continue reading Exhausted By A Book…Oh My
