If you struggle with negative beliefs or emotions about money… you’re not alone!   Many, MANY women entrepreneurs deal with money mindset issues. A lot of this can be traced back to the ideas about money that we were raised with — think about those stereotypes of women being bad with money or overspending frivolously. Obviously, women are perfectly capable of managing their finances and building s...

Money is the root of all evil.  I’m not good with money.  It’s not polite to talk about money.  Many women entrepreneurs subscribe to these negative beliefs, even if it’s unconscious. We want money, but we can feel disconnected from the idea of actually making it. If we think about wealth, we picture it belonging to people who don’t look like us . These beliefs are shaped in our childhoods and hav...

“Fake it till you make it.” As popular as this expression is, a lot of people feel a lot of resistance to the idea of “faking it.” Faking it can feel false, inauthentic, or even dishonest. But at its core, “fake it till you make it” is a powerful way to tap into The Law of Attraction.  The Law of Attraction is the idea that we can attract the things we want into our lives through giving them our a...

Being the face of your brand can be a little intimidating — or downright scary! Many mompreneurs may not feel comfortable stepping in front of the camera and putting themselves out there, but the rise of the Instagram Age has made invisibility a risky choice. With more customers basing buying decisions on whether they feel aligned with a brand, putting your personality and values on display is bec...

You know that I’m big on building a JOYFUL business, and we can’t be joyful without being true to ourselves. You’ve heard it from everyone - “Just do you”, but this piece of advice can be challenging to follow because it’s natural for us to compare ourselves with others, especially as businesswomen.  While it’s important to know how your competitors are doing, and keep up with content that’s trend...

Creating a “Joyful Business” is definitely easier said than done, especially when you feel the weight of your company and the success of your team on your shoulders. Despite the challenges, there have been many successful female entrepreneurs who have done so. One of them is someone who has almost become a household name in the entrepreneur field, Amy Porterfield. I’ve invited this tremendously su...

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I’m big on Mindset. I believe it is the number one factor in determining success of an individual. As they say, “you are your own worst enemy”, this can definitely be true as we often set ourselves up for failure with the wrong mindset in place.  You may be thinking that mindset is genetics - that some people are born with an optimistic, re...

Being an entrepreneur means you get to enjoy a flexible lifestyle, do what you love, and reap tremendous rewards at the same time. However, there’s also a tremendous amount of stress that comes with having to make tough decisions that can have huge implications on someone else’s life.

It can be super helpful to learn from mentors, and see the “behind-the-scenes” of how they run their business. However, we don’t get many opportunities to get that insight from other business owners. That’s exactly what I am going to share with you today! I’m aware that many of us don't exactly have a business model. We sell different offers, but there is no real structure behind it. It is so...

We feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, it makes us want to cringe to stare into a screen and start talking, so we avoid video. BUT it can be a super powerful tool to grow your business if wielded correctly, and not all of these tips require you being in front of the camera all the time.  The reality is more and more social media platforms are leaning towards video, so it's one of those...
