Monday Inspiration

"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive

- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."

Marcus Aurelius

I often get caught up in the daily routine and what I am working to achieve, that I have to stop and appreciate what I already have. Happy Monday to you!!

Jane Pollak - Author, Lifestyle Entrepreneur

This week Megan, Joni and Linda sit down with business coach Jane Pollak, author of "Soul Proprietor: 101 Lessons of a Lifestyle Entrepreneur".  Linda has known Jane for nearly 10 years when her book was original released. This update includes the new directions that Jane's life has taken in the last ten years, including her experiences as a blogger, something near and dear to us.

Like many of us, Jane started out doing one thing which lead her into new and unexpected directions. From art teacher to artist to coach and motivational speaker - Jane has not only seen it all, she's been through it too!

We chatted about establishing core values, establishing our own worth and charging appropriately, learning from those who have done it before us and enjoying our successes. Great stuff and as we say on the podcast "Food for thought".

Jane offers 5 of her Lessons for free: download here.  Get her book: Soul Proprietor: 101 Lessons from a Lifestyle Entrepreneur

For a chance to win a signed copy, we'd love to hear a core value of yours, or you can visit Jane's blog and share a tidbit you learned from over there.

INSPIRATIONAL DESIGN: RUMAH KARTANEGARA

Awalnya tahu Rumah Kertanegara yang pertama berdiri sebagai function house. Saya terpesona dengan gaya interiornya. Perpaduan antara gaya klasik Eropa dengan sentuhan Jawa. Memang sejak saat pertama berkunjung ke salah satu rumah Ibu Anna Bambang di jalan Sriwijaya saat saya masih SMA, saya sudah terpesona dengan gaya interiornya. Waktu itu saya masih belum mengenal dunia interior seperti sekarang. Tapi kenangan itu masih sangat membekas.
Dan rupanya gaya itulah yang diterapkan oleh desainer Ted Sulisto dan Ibu Anna di Rumah Kertanegara. Desainer Ted Sulisto seringkali dilibatkan oleh Ibu Anna dalam desain interior rumah fungsional lainnya.

Saya mengenal Rumah Kertanegara karena setelah menyaksikan rumah ini sering muncul di video musik musisi lokal sekitar tahun 2000 - 2001. Saya merasa kenal dengan gaya interiornya. Salah satunya adalah videoklip Rossa, saya lupa judulnya. Seingat saya Rumah Kertanegara ini juga dijadikan setting dalam film Arisan. Tidak heran mengingat penata busana di film Arisan adalah putra dari Ibu Anna Bambang, pemilik Rumah Kertanegara.

Setelah Rumah Kertanegara berikutnya muncul Rumah Daksa yang bergaya modern, Rumah Imam Bondjol yang bergaya klasik Amerika dan yang terbaru Rumah Sleman yang bergaya Jawa.Kunjungi site Annapola dan Anda akan mendapatkan inspirasi untuk penataan gaya interior klasik dan modern klasik yg tak lekang ditelan jaman.

PART TWO: Be sure to listen this week's Blogging discussion. It's all about Blogrankings, the newest way a lot of blogs are finding out how many readers they actually have. We also talk about the pros and cons of Google Analytics and Technorati. Listen as we try to figure out why we care, or in Megan's case, why we don't care how our blog ranks compared to our peers. As always, thank you for stopping by.
