I have a crush and his name is Donny Deutsch!

I was watching The Big Idea last night like usual. And the sandy haired business hottie host was interviewing entrepreneurs when I realized that I have a little bit of a crush :)







To me, he is the George Clooney of the business world. The complete name of his show on CNBC is "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsh" and you can catch it 5 times a week.

He interviews everyone, from Donald Trump to Tina Aldatz Norris, the creator of Foot Petals. She is helping high heel wearing women find comfort, thank goodness.

If you are down in the dumps or strapped for cash wondering if you should chuck your own idea and stick to the daily 9-5 grind, this is the show for you.

Some segments are:


There's got to be a better way

Start your business with under $500

The Aha moment

They said I'd never make it


Keep up the great job Donny and the hottie status :)

Hello, Hello, Hello!

So, Welcome to Blogging My Own Business. I am an avid chick lit reader ( seriously I devour 1-3 books a week when things are slow at home). Not as much lately because #1 it's baseball season for my son and #2 I am in the throws of opening my own business all whilst raising my gorgeous children and holding down a glamorous full time television job, NOT! Okay, the Television job part is true but the "glamorous", not so much.

This Blog will be dedicated to my passion, my love, my obsession really, with any and all "underdog comes out on top" books and movies. Especially ones where the heroine is starting her own business, a la ME!

I will review and share my thoughts and opinions on these types of books and movies as well as some on fabulous physical and emotional transformations. I am what my mom lovingly refers to as "pleasantly plump" and what I refer to as, bigger than I should be! (I'm working on it - geesh! LOL) And so when I read about some woman that was mistreated or slighted because of her weight, whether she loses weight or just learns to love herself, I get very excited :) And when a woman gets through all the obstacles that I am now coming to realize are very frustrating, and overcomes them to not only start, but become a success in her own business, well, I jump for joy!

Unfortunately there aren't as many of these books and movies as I would like to see (and read). So I decided to stop complaining and do something about it. Hence my new business, Boutique Publications, we will be be going live soon, I hope. I will post a link eventually and if you or anyone you know is a writer, they can click on and submit any fiction and non-fiction they believe will fit our criteria (the list of what we are looking for will be on our submissions page). More details at a later date.


I will be posting again soon and hope to hear from you, leave me a comment on any books or movies you think I should review. Or on your own pursuit of a small or home based business.

Ciao my bellas...
