About Me


Hey.... Ann Rusnak... The Time Diva Here. How does one get the Title "Time Diva"? It all started in....

Vero Beach Florida- What a fun place to grow up... climbing palm trees

and hanging out at the beach

That is until my parents got a brilliant idea to head up north in my teen years. What were they thinking... there is SNOW up here!!!!!

Now I reside in the Rock-n-Roll Capital - Cleveland OH. It does present some good points like:

My meeting my husband... This is us hanging out in Costa Rica

and my two wonderful daughters

Then I got a brilliant idea... Let's start a business... actually its one of my childhood dreams.


You Are a Natural Entrepreneur
You're creative, driven, and full of great ideas.
You could be the next Richard Branson, Warren Buffet, or Oprah.
Keep with your dreams, even if people don't understand or respect them.
Someday you'll have too much money to care what they think!

Are You a Natural Entrepreneur?

But I never dreamed that business would put me in the hospital. After getting my design business very profitable... very fast, I collapsed from exhaustion on the kitchen floor, to the horror of my youngest daughter. I found myself in an ambulance making a trip to the hospital.

I guess putting in 16-18 hour days will do that to you... How else was I suppose to run a business, take care of the house, take care of my family, drive my daughter to activities... I know I'm forgetting something... OH! TAKE CARE OF ME?????

While recovering, I said to myself there must be an easier way to do this... how do you mesh family and business?

I did take time management classes obviously they didn't work. What I discovered, Time Management is NOT for business owners... it's for employees.

Putting a team of super business achievers together, I learned how to dominate the clock and put time on my side. Now I take time off, enjoy my family and grow my business... in other words... I can have my cake and eat it too along with a side of ice cream.

Soon other business owners were asking me how I do it... I found myself advising overwhelmed entrepreneurs to flip their time and increase profits so they canspend more time with family and friends.

Another brilliant idea entered the brain... let's start a different business..

I found Simple Time Management,, where we provide time starved business owners strategies to gain control of their life and the luxury of time!

Movies:

LOVE MOVIES!!!!

My Favorite… Gone With the Wind.
My Dad took me to see this movie for my 15th Birthday. I fell in love with it, especially, the heroine Scarlet O’Hara. Strong willed, determined, and with a finely honed survivalist instinct, she takes destiny into her hands riding the wind of change. Going against the norm and public opinion this self reliant 1860’s women buys and runs two sawmills businesses. Bringing security her family’s financial future.
