BasicRic asked me to post a blog entry in regard to what I'm currently reading, studying or exploring to improve myself as a web designer and business associate. BasicRic is always stirring things up here to get everyone to post a blog entry. He's really big into blogs, as you can see. This was his brainchild and I believe a good one too since blogs are very popular these days. Most of us here at BasicTemplates.com had our own personal blogs when Blogger was a newborn, but when you get busy with other projects some things just have to go. Blog burn-out can also happen, trust me.

Anyway --- Two days ago my new book, Carolyn 101 : Business Lessons from The Apprentice's Straight Shooter arrived and I am having a great deal of trouble putting it down. It started off a bit slow, but now I have to force myself to set it aside so I can get my work done. One of the things I like most about the book is that it is packed full of little business tips or quotations just like you see in the TV show, The Apprentice. These little tips are the biggest reason I watch the show, so the purchase of this book was a good investment for me. It's inexpensive too ... appropriately $15.00 USD.

I'd highly recommend this book not only to business-savvy woman but also to men especially if they work with women or who have a female boss. If you are an Apprentice fan, this is a must-read.

I worked in the corporate management field for 20 years prior to starting my own company. When I hit the age of 40 I decided the corporate world was no longer my calling and couldn't see myself giving it another 20 years. But I learned so much from my experience working for a major corporation during that time, and I use these experiences constantly in my own business dealings every day. I would not be where I am today if I had not gone through the corporate-world process.

If you buy this book, drop me an email and let me know what you think. Maybe we can compare notes and ideas. ;-)
