As I was writing a very insightful post for The Power MOB about balancing the needs of home life and business, my cell phone rang. With only 30 minutes to finish my day before picking up my toddler from preschool, I didn't answer.
As a savvy business owner, I did check my messages right away. It could be a new client or even Oprah (finally). And I am glad I checked because it was a journalist wanting to interview me for an article!
I heard the brilliant Mindee Doney of Boogie Wipes in my head: "When the media calls, drop everything and call them right back."
So, I spent the time I intended to use for the blog post answering questions for an article in a women's journal about the benefits of women furthering their education.
I hope you will both forgive me (I promise the insightful blog will come next month) and also learn from my experience.
1. Always check your work messages right away.
2. The media could call at any time, be prepared! Call them right back!
3. Your knowledge and experience is valuable. The more you are seen as an expert in your field, the more frequently the phone will ring!
