Blogit's darling Trish Williams has taken time out her busy schedule to join us in the studio early this morning. Her excellent writing skills are in big demand and have showed up in many publications and periodicals. Many of us have been moved, enchanted, disturbed or just thought "hmmmm" by Trish's writing. She's here in the studio today to share her thoughts, once more. Thanx for stopping by Trish .
What is the name of your company and what products or services does it provide?
Trish: I am a freelance consultant and my name is Trish Williams. I work as an independent contractor under that name. My website is: http://www.kcnet.com/writersplace
What role do you play in your organization?
Trish: I operate as consultant, writer, manager, coordinator, and facilitator to gather a network of freelancers together to complete projects for numerous businesses.
As a successful business person, how did you get started?
Trish: I've always had a love for writing, art and working on my own. I received two degrees from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. When I graduated, I decided to post an ad in a business newspaper in town and started freelancing in my community.
How did you learn what it takes to succeed?
Trish: I attended networking sessions in town and got to know a lot of successful people. I read a lot of books on success and decided there was no reason I couldn't model myself after successful people and become one of them. I did just that and the business flowed!
What personal/family activities do you enjoy?
Trish: I enjoy hiking, camping, volleyball, swimming, exploring, reading, playing guitar, and writing songs
What experiences in your life have helped you expand who you are as a person?
Trish: I believe my faith has helped me a lot as well as hard work and learning patience and endurance during hard times.
What are your concerns about the world today?
Trish: I am concerned about greed and people who are just looking out for themselves. Everyone has a right to their own happiness, but it should never be at the expense of someone else's. I believe in compassionate independence among business and commerce. Many large corporations have set a bad example of greed, fraud and exploitation. My hope is that small business folks will set a higher standard in our world - one that the young people of tomorrow will model themselves after.
If you had all the time and all the money you needed, what types of things would you do?
Trish: Consider money as no object. I would do what I'm doing today, but perhaps on a larger scale. I would also spend more time writing and publishing my work. I would also record music and travel more.
Are there any tips or advice you would like to offer people?
Trish: Simply to believe in your dreams and to not let anyone tell you that you can't achieve them. Stay focused, motivated, and maintain a good attitude at all times. These three things alone will energize your dreams forward.
Are people more interesting than product stories?

Are people more interesting than product stories?
Trish: I enjoy success stories about people and products. Interest levels vary depending on the situation and story. We need to respect the fact that not all business people are extroverts. Introverts are just as important, and sometimes do more, than the extroverts in society. They are often not motivated by people, but rather but ideas. So, one's interest varies depending on this particular character trait. I happen to be an introvert.
What are your goals and aspirations for the future?
What are your goals and aspirations for the future?
Trish: I want to continue designing web sites, brochures, newsletters and other creative materials, and one day start my own book publishing business.
What obstacles do you have to overcome to achieve your goals?
What obstacles do you have to overcome to achieve your goals?
Trish: I could say money, but I think with all of us it's our own mind set. We truly can overcome any obstacle if we believe we can. Perhaps I still have some fears of striking out completely on my own. Currently I work PT for a large company doing the same type of work I do freelancing. When my freelance business slows down, I can always depend on my PT job. I'd like to strike out on my own one of these days, without worrying about whether I'll make it financially.
Which people have been role models to you?
Trish: The people who have been role models to me are not big names in society. They are the people in my own life who have shown me the meaning of integrity, hard work, honesty, and contentment. To me, it's not the letters behind one's name, nor the amount of money in one's bank account that make an admirable role model, but rather if the person can go to sleep at night with a clear conscience. My role model is anyone who succeeds the honest way.
What are your favorite books, computer programs, or forms of entertainment?
Trish: I enjoy books by Deepak Chopra, Zig Ziglar, Norman Vincent Peale and other inspirational writers. I enjoy watching a variety of movies and listening to lots of good music while I'm working.
What time of the day are you at your best?
Trish: I don't believe in selecting one time and limiting myself or my thinking into believing "this" is the best time of the day for me. I find that when I love what I do, I can do it at any time of the day or night. Loving your work is the key to a happy life.
Thank you for this opportunity to share my thoughts. My best to you and your listeners!
