Today I'm going to be sharing my personal growth update for December 2020.  I do these updates every single month and it's been great because when we look back on the year as a whole it is easy to forget what happened in those earlier months. Everything really seems amplified towards the end of the year - the highs are higher and the lows are lower and we can easily gloss over the lessons we've le...

Today I want to chat with you about whether or not you should take a break from working on your business over the holidays.  I know this is a contentious subject for perfectionists. We don't like to rest, we don't like to take breaks, we don't like to feel unproductive - especially if you have a full-time job or a part-time job that you get to have a break from over the holidays. You might be putt...

Today I'm talking about when to change your sales tactic and most importantly when not to.

So I just want to talk to you about this beca...

Until recently, I was always racked with guilt whenever I wasn't being 'consistent' on Instagram. I'd been told time and time again that consistent content was the key to business success. And the fact that I kept 'falling off the wagon' made me think I'd never be successful.  But in the last 12 months I've made $300k+ in my business… and I've barely posted on Instagram during that time. So in thi...
