Here’s my new logo – finally!
Posted by: | CommentsWe’ve all heard the expression the cobbler’s children go barefoot. Well I’ve been running around barefoot for the past several years.
When I first started my full time copywriting business three years ago, one day I looked at the calendar and realized I had a networking meeting coming up and I didn’t have any business cards.
I phoned around to 
find a print shop that could get me cards in time and then designed my card – In Word! It wasn’t flashy but it was clean, professional and had all my contact information. And since it was working just fine, I didn’t see any urgency to get new ones done.
However, now that The Baby Boomer Entrepreneur has taken off and I’m doing workshops, teleseminars, public speaking and ebooks in addition to the blog (which doesn’t appear on my old business card) I decided it’s time for a more professional look.
I called my friend and colleague Jennifer Harris at www.Keylimecreative.ca. I’ve worked with on projects for clients and know she does good work. I set her off to design a logo for The Baby Boomer Entrepreneur. I didn’t give her much direction, but boy did she come up with something great.
This logo is clean and looks good large or small. I love the egg and the branch which have an organic feel and represent new possibilities and growth. I can use the logo in many different colours. And Jen gave me a version without the text so I can use it in a variety of different applications. I think she really nailed it!
I’ve created a look with the theme of this blog, but now I can start branding myself visually on everything I produce. I can’t wait to start using this logo. Thanks Jen!

The Baby Boomer Entrepreneur is one of the Top 50 Law of Attraction Blogs
Posted by: | Comments
Yeah me! I just received notice that The Baby Boomer Entrepreneur is included in Evan Carmichael’s Top 50 Blogs Posts on The Law of Attraction In 2008.
If you check the list you’ll see I made numbers 36 and 39.
If you look more closely, you’ll notice item number 36 is credited to a Brazilian blog that has reprinted my post Can Using the Law of Attraction Help My Business – or Is It A Load of Crap? At least they gave me credit (sort of) and a link. Oh well, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Anyway, Evan’s list is a great way to find more information about the Law of Attraction.

Did you put your dreams on hold?
