Today is our business birthday (three years old) and just like every year, we celebrate! Today is a fully booked client day, so there will be no celebrating until tonight, but I always like recognizing each birthday.
Looking back today to August 17th, 2007….I was sitting at my home computer, just got back from work, coffee from Starbucks was still hot, wondering what was I going to do next with my life. I was just fired 30 minutes ago. Yes, in 30 minutes I was at the Startbucks in the City Center by 8:30 am to meet the boss (actually, I kinda knew I was getting fired), Fired by 8:40 am and home by 9:00 am. I was told “You don’t fit in with the team” aka…”We don’t like you”.
Lovely! So off to Monster and Career Builder I go. In 2007 there were plenty of job search sites and plenty of jobs! I had probably applied for 20 in three hours. Then I got sick of thinking about it. I got sick of thinking of having to go back to a job that I wouldn’t maybe fit in again with. I was tired of it all!
By noon, my brain was starting to shift a bit. I had started Call That Girl in 2004 and she was sitting idle for the past three years. Could I do it? Should I do it? HOW do I do it? By 1:00, it was on. I was going to make a go of it. I had no idea what I was doing, but Call That Girl was going to be a computer repair company and my only job.
Three years later, and now starting on my fourth year, I have acccomplished so much. But not enough as I’m not done growing yet. My eBook launch is in two days, my Rochester location should be open in September (pending a lease signature) and I have just tons of other marketing ideas to bring to the table. LinkedMinnesota, the group I run on LinkedIn is a very succesful networking group with 5 staff members and over 14,000 members (running this group is now a PT job almost too!)
With much to celebrate, way more than I could write down…we thank you for supporting us. We thank you for being in our network and connecting with us, and most importantly, we thank you for just making these past three years the best I have ever had. I mean it too…I’m glad I got fired! Thanks Jeff!

I LOVE this tool! If you have a few documents that you need to share on two+ computer sytems, this is really the LIFESAVER. I have a few documents that I use daily and with 4 computers, it was hard to keep up with. I used to email them to myself back and forth. Very time consuming and many were large, so it took awhile to email and whatnot.
Last winter I heard of Drop Box and installed it, but wasn’t sure how to really use it. Then a colleague asked me if I was using it and I was “yeah, but not”….he said “DO IT” and then I did it and LOVE it! OMG.
I only share the important files, but I can see this becoming a tool that I really need to use. I found it you can allow many users access by allowing their email accounts into certain folders, so they have limited restrictions.
It’s cool, so if you have two+ computers needing the same files and are not on a network, this is a great solution! Test it out with their 2 gig no fee test. If you need more, you can purchase more then. Here is a link that gives me some more free space if you try it out, I get no money, just space.
