Helping time-strapped entrepreneurs grow a business online
Before this chaos began, I’d started creating the outline for The Focus-Driven Biz, and yet, it feels even more important now. Not because quarantine has turned our lives upside down, but because anything could turn our lives and our business upside down at any given moment, and as entrepreneurs, we want to be prepared. Business […]
Even before this whole mess began, The Focus-Driven Biz workbook and workshop was in the works. The goal: To give you the business-building strategies and tactics needed to gain focus. And now more than ever, that focus is as critical as the toilet paper, pasta, and canned goods that are flying off the shelf. (I’m […]
Business is a little harder than usual these days. (Obvious statement of 2020 but stick with me here).

Want to meet someone who knows about decision fatigue? Check out this woman, whose story I read a few years ago. She chose to wear the same outfit for 365 days straight. That’s right. For one year she made the conscious choice to eliminate one decision from her day by deciding in advance what to […]
Today, I’m a proud work-from-home mom with one mission: To stay sane. Laugh all you want (and you should laugh at that) but here’s the truth. My sanity means my children are happier because I’m happier. My sanity means I’m able to grow a business that puts formula in my baby’s mouth and food on […]
Friends. We’re in the last quarter of the year and it’s right about now that you’re probably starting to look back on what happened in 2018 while strategizing for 2019. And, in doing so, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably already saying, “phew, I’ve been busy!” It’s been five solid months since I published […]
I sit on the Board of Directors for a local organization. The other day, an email flashed into my inbox from the Executive Director letting us know that an upcoming speaker had fallen through.
