Join me in the café as tackle a less traditional business topic- kindness, connection and community. Author and speaker Linda Cohen saw her busy life as a mother, wife and entrepreneur come to a screeching halt when her father died of lung cancer in 2006. She took what she calls a “spiritual sabbatical” to work through her grief and from that the project to perform 1,000 acts of kindness – mitzvahs- was born.
Listen in as we talk and laugh about some of the motivations behind these mitzvahs- from changing the roll of toilet paper in a public restroom to championing a community charity. Nothing is too big or too small to make an impact!
Cohen’s first book: 1,000 Mitzvahs: How Small Acts of Kindness Can Heal, Inspire, and Change Your Life shares her journey from sorrow to inspiration. In the two and a half years it took her to perform her mitzvahs, Cohen found that her grief was lessened and her entire self was improved by each small act and that every time she went out of her way to do something good for someone else, she enhanced her own well-being. That’s the way I know I would like to step into my life and business each day- how about you?

July 02, 2012 Business Café – Lessons of a Lipstick Queen- It’s All About the Idea! with guest Poppy King
An idea doesn’t have to be brilliant to be valid. It just has to be YOURS and you have to be willing to go the distance with it!
Join me in the café as I converse with Poppy King, the Lipstick Queen– internationally renowned trend spotter, color expert and innovative business leader. At age 18, Poppy was the president of her own hugely successful lipstick brand, Poppy Industries, born simply from the idea that she could not find a lipstick to wear. What ideas do you have that you have not followed through with? Are you like most entrepreneurs with a million ideas flying around your head at any given time? What method do you use to discern a “keeper” of an idea from a dud? Our conversation here on the Business Cafe will give you many actionable ways to turn those ideas into a reality in your business with Poppy’s very unique brand of inspiration chronicled in her book, Lessons of a Lipstick Queen: Finding and Developing the Great Idea that Can Change Your Life.
