"If you can achieve your dream by yourself, it isn't a big enough dream."
Although I may be "The Head Muse," there is an entire team of people who work with me to make Manage Your Muse the wonderful web site (and business) it is. So when I say "we," I'm not referring to me and the mouse in my pocket. Let me introduce you to my fantastic group:
Doug Hudiburg, a.k.a. The Incentivizer, is my marketing guru. He's actually made marketing easy and fun – three words I never thought I'd use in the same sentence. Doug always pushes me to be bigger and better than I ever believed I could be.
Charlotte Locey is the Reminderer and Emergency Backup Empress. She's another person who handles more details than I'm even aware of. And she inspires us more than she's aware of. Not to mention she heroically holds down the fort when I am on vacation.
Sharon Fullen, Keyword Queen and Wise Woman of Words, knows the difference between my kind of writing and writing web and sales copy, and she does the last very, very well. She even kept her marvelous sense of humor through the dozens of rewrites necessary to blend my style with copywriting and "keyword population."
My amazing graphics team consists of Jennifer Shanika, Jody Flores, and Bill LeWarne. Jen is my "translator" and creative director (and my daughter.) She takes my wild, half-formed ideas and illegible scribbles and translates them into words that Jody and Bill can understand. Jody and Bill created the logos not only for Manage Your Muse (Jody), but also for all my other websites: www.WeeklyChallengers.com (Bill), www.FirstMuseBank.com (Bill), and www.ChangeOneHabit.com (Jody). Bill then took his and Jody's work and turned them into the various website designs – with lots of help from Jen.
Chris Goldberg is an entire IT department in one man. He's rescued me from Cyberhell more than once, and he does it all over the phone.
In fact, we all do it all over the phone or Internet. Though most of us have never met face to face, we're great friends and a fantastic team. Together we inspire each other to dare to be more than we ever thought possible.
