Erica Diamond Named Canada’s ‘Chief Inspiration Officer’ For Entrepreneur Barbie

I am beyond proud, excited and honored to make this announcement today. It is truly humbling and if I am to be honest, probably one of the most momentous milestones of my career.

As Canada’s only Chief Inspiration Officer for Entrepreneur Barbie for all of Canada, I join the company of some remarkable trailblazing women representing Entrepreneur Barbie in the US – read this http://mashable.com/2014/06/18/entrepreneur-barbie-inspiration-tips/. I was honored to have been selected as the sole CIO for Canada. As an entrepreneur since the age of 24 (now starting my fourth entrepreneurial venture), having written a book on entrepreneurship, and having made it my life’s mission to inspire others to take the dive into passion, this feels like my calling.

Summer Blogging Slowdown

Girls, I am taking my annual July (sometimes into August) blogging slowdown. I do this every year for my mental wellbeing, and for the quality of this blog. It is my gift to myself. It is not easy to continuously keep things fresh, relevant and interesting, so every July, I relax my blogging brain, check in less frequently in order to come back recharged, refreshed, and ready to give you more.

Embrace Your Child For Who They Are

The other day, I found my son Ethan in my closet. When I asked him what he was doing, he looked at me and said, ”Mom it’s time to clean up in here. You have such nice things but it’s so messy that you can’t find anything.”

I’m embarrassed to admit he was right. For the next two hours Ethan diligently organized my mess. The end result was breathtaking.

Ethan is my 10 year-old middle child. He was born on a cold spring day in 2003. From the minute I looked into his eyes, I knew he was special.

Firsts

Yesterday, with a steady flow of tears and an abundance of nervous energy, we sent my 10 year old son off to sleep away camp for one month.

@Aeroplan Breaks It Down

As you all know, back in 2013 I became a Brand Ambassador for Aeroplan, a program that I’m a big fan of! I have been a LOYAL member of the program for almost 20 YEARS. I know this program well; I accumulate miles with my Aeroplan credit card as well as booking airfare travel, and have used my miles for travel to New York, Florida, Nassau and New Orleans. I’ve rented cars, stayed in partner hotels and even bought merchandise on www.aeroplan.com. But even I sometimes have questions about how the program works.

How To Find A Mentor in Life and Business

This week’s Global TV lifestyle segment was on a topic very near and dear to my heart – MENTORING. I’ve been fortunate to have been on both sides of the coin in my life — I have been both a protege, as well as a mentor since the age of 25. I can tell you from experience, it is one of the most rewarding relationships out there.
If you have decided that you finally want to get off the fence and find a mentor, but don’t know where to look, who to ask, how to ask, or what a mentor-mentee relationship looks like, please watch this morning’s segment. I have given you the ins and outs of finding a mentor.

The Studies Are In: Don’t Help Your Kids With Their Homework

“One of the central tenets of raising kids in America is that parents should be actively involved in their children’s education: meeting with teachers, volunteering at school, helping with homework, and doing a hundred other things that few working parents have time for. These obligations are so baked into American values that few parents stop to ask whether they’re worth the effort.

Tricks To Grow Your Social Media Following

Calling Entrepreneurs, Mompreneurs, Businesspeeps and Wannabe Social Peeps! You’re trying to grow your personal or corporate brand and you know you need to hop on board the social media bus pronto, but you don’t know where to begin! You’re on the fence! You’re afraid to tweet “the wrong way,” or you don’t know on which social media platforms you belong. You just know you want to increase that social media following, increase your exposure, influence, and of course, your bottom line.

After all, the larger and more captive your audience is, the better your chances are of selling your product or service (even if you haven’t created it yet!) It’s still somewhat of a numbers game, and eyeballs do convert to dollars. If you want some tips and tricks to grow your social media following, my Global TV segment from this morning might help!

Summer Camp Madness

While some of you may be in the juice getting your kids ready for camp too, I came across some FANTASTIC letters of my own that my mother kept of my first summer at sleep-away camp. I was 8 years old. I had BEGGED my parents to send me to sleep-away camp with my friends, and after much persuasion, they sent me.
