Here Is My Weekly Round Up of Top Business Tips & Motivational Quotes - Parts 11 & 12

As hard as I try, I have not been able to get these quotes up at the end of every week, so, shocker, here's another combo of two weeks worth.

I have a tiny excuse, not really good enough, but: I just got back from San Francisco where I was so lucky to be a moderator for three panels at the WedTech conference with some crazy smart speakers like Shadiah Sigala of HoneyBook (best proposal software EVER for creatives, bar none - so you can get back to the creative work you love and bring your events to life so you can focus on creating magic, not paperwork. Thank you, God.) Kurt Kunselman of AccountingSuite (software for startups, entrepreneurs and growing companies), Yaron Lipshitz of AllSeated (a platform for team collaboration where you instantly build floor plans, guest lists, timelines, 3D, mobile, wherever! - congratulations on your funding!!) and Karen Martell of Square . (LOVE - from mobile point-of-sale tools and appointment scheduling to fast deposits and online invoicing, Square has everything you need to take care of every little thing and as entrepreneurs, we know that's like EVERYTHING.)

A few other upcoming bits and bobs while we're at it: I'm honored to be part of a very cool 15 day tele-summit featuring more than 30 entrepreneurs, put on by Barbera Aimes, super smart businesswoman. You can sign up here (totally free learning), or check out my bigger blog with some other tips and details about the summit there.

Now back to business. Check out the whole summary of last two week's business tips and motivational quotes from my Instagram page which you hopefully got to see in real time! If not, let's make sure we're following each other on Instagram!! So...here is the round up for the eleventh and twelfth weeks of Instagram images of My Top Business Tips and Motivational Quotes.
