Carrie Wilkerson

How I Met Carrie

I first discovered her while we were watching Alejandro Reyes, on his weekly show about social media and I noticed her vibrant energy right away. She is inspiring, talented, brilliant, and so personable I wanted to create this lens to share with you about this extraordinary business women who is evidently positioned to lead a new era of executive women into a professional living right from the home front. When I noticed Carrie, I rushed to follow her on Twitter @barefoot_exec and she corresponded with me to thank me for following her. Since then she has been the highlight of my work day.

Having a conversation with her, you feel as if you are the only person that matters to her. That is an extraordinary attribute in itself but, did I mention she has over 1200 followers* on twitter alone? How anyone takes time to nurture a personal relationship with such a vast following is nothing short of a miracle and evidence of a genuine passion for her dedication to provide the new remote workforce with exceptional leadership.
Update June 2010 update: Carrie Wilkerson @Barefoot_Exec has over 83 thousand followers on twitter AND she still is as "REAL" as the day I first discovered her!

In November (same year) I met Carrie in person ( Blueprint Conference ). Since then, I have tried to keep up with all the fabulous resources she provides for work at home women (and men). Carrie continues to astonish me and I have learned a lot from her and her recommendations which has blessed me and my business.

Association of Work at Home Women

Don't Miss This Opportunity to Shine with Carrie!

The President of AWHW, Carrie Wilkerson, has revolutionized the meaning of working at home once again!

NEW APRIL 2010 - I SAVED 75% ON MEMBERSHIP!!
I am not sure how long this will last, but, If you act quickly you can join (or upgrade a current membership) for a savings of 50-75% by purchasing annual billing rather than monthly billing.

Go to AWHW and click on the "membership info" button to find out more. But HURRY before this offer isn't as much of a savings (pricing like this ... I wonder how long it will last).

Why join an association? Is paying an association fee a smart business decision?

You might have asked yourself these questions. You might rationalize that business expenses are a reasonable choice. And, yes, most of the time an association fee is deductible as a business expense, but, just being deductible is not a reason to spend the resources.
There are more important considerations in regard to investing in an association.

Before investing in an association, ask yourself these questions:


When I invest in this association...



  • What resources will become available,



    • Networking,


    • Education,


    • Applicable Skills,


    • Like Minded People



  • What tangible returns are likely to result,



    • New client referrals,


    • Business tools,


    • Supportive Relationships




These rewards (just to name a few) have materialized for me since
I became a member of the AWHW and I hope you will take the
opportunity to discover how this membership can enrich your life and
your business as well. JOIN

Blueprint To Financial Freedom - Keynote Speaker

Photo Left To Right: Terry Wygal, Perry Lawrence, Carrie Wilkerson

It was my honor to attend the most motivational, informational, and inspiring event of the year in Houston Texas, November 14-16, 2008

I enjoyed hearing countless business tips and secrets from each and everyone of the speakers as well as meeting and brainstorming with participants during lunches and after the event each day.

Talk about PRICELESS!

And, to top it all off, I met, worked beside, and got to know my previously 'virtual' mentor, The Barefoot Executive herself. Now, you know how much this devine diva has inspired me before, I can not put into words how remarkable she is and how she is 10 TIMES more beautiful, inside and out, in person.

She is extraordinary!

And... She celebrated SQUIDOO during her presentation. She shared about this lens, introduced me to everyone, and made the whole experience REMARKABLE!

The Blueprint To Financial Freedom ( #b2ff ) November 2008 Event continues to be one of the most talked about business networking events this year. Terry Wygal, Carrie Wilkerson, John Di Lemme, Stephen Beck, Paul Evans, Perry Lawrence, Jeff Vacek, and Larry Goins (in order of appearance), rocked Houston Texas and an audience from all around the world in a three day action packed informational extravaganza!

The New Revolution

Remote Workforce

Who Is The Remote Workforce?

The remote workforce is a growing evolving generation of people (primarily women) who are finding that being closer to family in a home office has countless benefits and with the emergence of social media and extraordinary leadership the remote workforce can be virtually mobile, exceptionally resourceful, and extraordinarily successful in virtually any career.

click me

An office at home has countless advantages. The 'perks' of corporate life cannot hold a candle to the advantages of working close to family and having the freedom to make your own hours. The cost savings alone (commute, wardrobe, office lunches, to name a few) is substantial.

Until now, the primary drawback of the work from home concept has been leadership. There are many books, audios, motivational speakers, mentors, and throughout time we have devoured them all and attempted to implement every tip and tool and attribute. There has always been something missing from this mix and match self help smorgasbord.

Traditional Office Pros and Cons

mulberry says:

Endless meetings are a con for sure. A pro is the availability of others to network and brainstorm with when needed.

GypsyOwl says:

Hello Claudette, Thank you for posting about the pros and cons of traditional and remote offices. I agree, it is best to explore all of the pros and cons and as you said "Know yourself and the jobs requirement before choose either one." Exceptional advice!

Remote Office (home office) Pros and Cons

Spook says:

It depends what your circumstances are and what your goals are as a person. For me it is a wish to be my own man again. With a remote office at least that gives you that choice.

awelldressedbullet says:

I have worked both in an office environemnt and now at home with our business. I much prefer working at home, I get more done by 9am than most people do all day! I love the quiet peaceful environment, besides, I love working in my PJ's LOL (but shhhhh, don't tell our customers ok?)

PRsarahevans says:

I prefer a remote office...but currently work in a traditional office. Go figure!

CrypticFragments says:

well...@ the moment I don't make enough from home to consider it a full time job, altho I am not employed anywhere else and DO spend as much as 16 hrs/day working on various internet affiliate pursuits, so I say "remote" office... I can work from bed, the desk or the screened porch depending on mood and weather

mulberry says:

Quicker decision making and implementation plus the ability to be able to determine your own goals and direction are definitely pros for those of us who run our own business. The con can be the isolation.

Claudette Chenevert says:

Both have advantages and disadvantage. It depends on the job and the person. To work remote, you need self-motivation and the right equipment. Distractions can be an issue if you don't have a dedicated place to work on a daily basis. Traditional provides the social aspect that remote doesn't (most of the time). Know yourself and the jobs requirement before choose either one. I love working from home personally but have a very active social life.

WAHGM says:

Multi-Tasking: A Corporate Meeting and Singing "The Wheels on the Bus" to entertain a toddler. While mesmerizing both audiences at the same time.

GypsyOwl says:

I like getting an early start on work before the coffee is ready and having 2 hours of work behind me before I've even changed out of my PJs.
