Who Do You Lift Up?
I saw this great line in a You Tube video, and the topic again resonated with me when I read Carrie Lauth’s post “Help a Blogging Momma.” As a busy work-at-home mom, I rarely have time to get my own stuff done, but the more I reflect on my businesses, the more I realize how important my online relationships have helped me not only achieve my goals, but to go above and beyond my wildest dreams for them.
I’m not much of a list maker, but there are times when I need to use one. My challenge is this: support your fellow wahms by making a list of four people.
- Your favorite guru
- An online friend
- A new acquaintance (someone following you on Twitter?)
- A struggling wahm
Visit her site and really do grab a cup of coffee and stay for a few minutes. Comment on her blog. Mention your visit on Twitter. Offer words of encouragement. Visit an advertiser. Check out her affiliate program. Tell a friend. By the time you are done with your coffee, you will have made someone’s day. I’m off to go grab mine now!

Treece you rock! This is a great post and good advice for all of us.
You know how they say that we need to say more of the nice things we think? It’s so true.

You rock Treece! I am so going to do this

Good tips, Treece!
We all should do more of this. I’m off to make my list.

This is a great idea. Every so often I di mention some of my favorites on my blog and also like to show love to fellow wahm’s in business, but I have never mentioned a struggling wahm, and think that is a great idea! Blogs with good traffic could mention her site or blog and really help her get going! Great post.
