We are women in control. We don’t believe we have to work 24/7 to build great companies. We don’t believe we have to please everyone to reach our goals. Our desire to make an impact in the world while being present moms, wives, and daughters is not “too much.” It means we respect ourselves. It…
You don’t have to do more to be successful. There are too many days when you do, do, do and still end up feeling like you got nothing done. All the doing in the world won’t feel rewarding if what you’re doing isn’t a good great use of your time. What you need is to plan more….
If you want more of the right people hiring you, they need to know about you. That’s why visibility is more important than ever. And why social media may play a big part in your business. Often, you have the best of intentions about working on it like: “I’m just going on FB to do…
You don’t wake up thinking: “Lord, please don’t send me help with my growing to-do list. I hope no one else crosses off anything but me.” AmIright?? Yet we covet our to-do lists like crazy ladies. It’s all mine and I’ll keep adding more, more, more! What we really should be coveting is our time. Your…
You don’t want to call the insurance company or put away those boxes sitting at the top of the steps for 3 weeks. So you put it off. Even though you know procrastinating will make it even more overwhelming later. Then why do you do it? Because when you procrastinate you feel momentary relief. You…
Decisions matter. From everything you put in your mouth… To what you say yes or no to… To every time you reach for your phone… Some decisions don’t take much thought like tying shoes or pouring coffee. But other, more impactful ones, trigger opposing thoughts. Like when your alarm goes off. The Angel on your shoulder says: “You know getting…
I don’t bake. No, really. I don’t bake. The one time I tried to bake chocolate chip cookies was my last. I added too much flour. (who knew 2 cups didn’t really mean 2 1/2 or 3). I didn’t soften the butter enough. My dough was sticky. I may have possibly burnt the bottoms…like a lot. My son…
How many times have you heard that you should focus on one thing to have a “more structured week?” Like: Marketing on Mondays Strategy on Tuesdays Consults on Wednesdays Clients on Thursdays, etc. And maybe like me, you’ve thought, “that’s nice in theory sweetie, but there is NO way that’s possible.” Too many questions, issues, texts, emails, and…
The last few days I’ve decluttered like a mad woman. You know – new year, new slate. Crusty toothpaste? Outta here. Frayed towels? Don’t even. One dozen too many pens? Your time is over. And no doubt this streamlining bug has trickled into my biz. Old files? Shred ’em. Outdated headshots? Omg. Photographer needed now. 53 files on my…
Pantries, closets, garages…oh my! Back in my professional home organizing days, I loved transforming spaces. But doing what you love and running a business are two different things. Sorting and decluttering for my clients did not equal strategizing and systemizing for my biz. I spent time on things I thought I should be doing – making sense of contracts…
