[True Confession] What’s in a brand name?

Perception...In all honesty I was thinking about changing my instagram handle from @focusonstyle to my name, Sharon Haver.I started to feel like after 2O years online and having a syndicated newspaper column that went out to 400 papers with that name before it, it was time for change.Not necessarily just for me…But because the word “style” seems to REPEL a certain audience and ATTRACT another.

The Best Way To Promote On Social Media Without Being Salesy? [Video]

What's the best way you can promote on social media without being salesy? Celebrity Hack Ahead: Are you afraid to reveal too much personal info or be hardcore selling on social media? If you are, you’re right on both. Here’s the thing, people come to social media to be social. So if your feed looks like a classified ad with zero character, no one will pay attention. Conversely, if you have a bad case of TMI and are over-sharing personal details, if you’re not talking to real friends, no one really cares. But there is a golden mix! I started to observe the feeds of celebrities who also have products. People like Bethenny Frankel and Kim Kardashian. Here's what I

Are you a shoe lover too? Stay with me and you'll see how old boots are a lot like your business.Did you ever have a favorite pair that you loved so much but you knew it was time to put rest?Check out my bad mamajama high heel western boots that I rocked while pushing my son's stroller- about 19 OMG years ago.In Europe, the style is peeking its way back on trend so I decided to dig them out of the closet and rock them a different way today.Style is cyclical.Pretty much: something becomes "the" thing, it gets overdone so it fades away until, in due time, comes back in a similar tweaked way that appears fresh to your eyes.Same

If you find yourself stuck in the waiting game and not achieving your goals as quickly as you like, this is for you!I’m the child of a constant procrastinator. Through the years I have come to realize that waiting for whatever reason can very well be a sign of procrastination. If you wait long enough, of course something will be newer, better, different, cheaper, whatever.However by waiting is an act of stillness in the decision process. You never get to the next goal because you’re so busy being stuck where you are now. I have made it a point to recognize the “procrastination” signals in my life.
