Send us Fan Mail Over the last few years, I’ve noticed that one of the biggest struggles for women entrepreneurs isn’t that they don’t have great ideas to grow their business. The problem is we don’t have time to work on the big picture. The day to day of running any business is full of things to do like posting on social media, answering emails, and working with clients. But all of these tasks th...

Send us Fan Mail When you’re first getting started in your business, saying yes is your go-to answer for nearly anything whether it’s meeting up for coffee, meeting at 8 o’clock at night, or adding more things to do to your project. Suddenly, you’re saying yes to say many things, it starts to get a little out of control. As your business starts to grow and you take on more clients, all of those ye...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like no matter what you’re trying in your business, you’re just not seeing the clients and the cashflow you’d hoped for? Solopreneurs often find themselves in this position where we’re doing everything we can think of to grow our business and checking all the marketing items off the list. We can post on social media or send out email newsletters, but it’s just n...

Send us Fan Mail Things are humming right along in your business and life. Then, an unexpected bill lands on your desk.

Or perhaps you forgot to put away enough for taxes and discovered the need to quickly catch up. Any entrepreneur will fin...

Send us Fan Mail Growing your business to the next-level takes wayyy more than next-level marketing and sales tactics. It takes next-level leadership for your team, your clients, and your community - and leading so many people requires self-leadership FIRST.  That's why in this behind the scenes episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from a recent live strategy and support call that I hosted in...

In this episode, I continue with part two of this Unsexy Secrets to Sustain...

Send us Fan Mail Over the last 13 years of working with women entrepreneurs, I’ve observed them feeling stuck in their business, and there’s a big reason why. Despite all of the courses and late nights Googling for answers, they’re unable to get past a certain level of success. They’re not sure exactly what it is that’s going to help them break through to that illusive next level where they have m...

Send us Fan Mail Are your mornings just the craziest time of the day? Between dealing with pets, coffee, and kids, you ultimately feel frazzled by the time you sit down at your desk. Or perhaps at the end of your day, you’re just exhausted and collapsing into bed.

It also requires skillfully managing your time and energy every week as a CEO so that you’re putting your attention on the tasks that’ll actually move your business forward. However, this is an area where we often get stuck. The email inbox, administration work, and ongoing busy work daily in our business can become...

Send us Fan Mail Every new year feels like a fresh start and a new chance to go after those big, audacious goals for our lives and businesses.
