When a lead doesn’t buy after signing up for your freebie, the sound of those crickets sitting on your email list can feel deafening and defeating, can’t it? And let me tell you — I hate all types of crickets. The physical kind (like ACTUAL crickets) have haunted me my whole life. I’ll never forget […]
I had something completely different scheduled for this week but 2020 has clearly shown us that we need to change how we interact with each other. This week (and well beyond), I’m choosing to silence the regularly scheduled broadcast to embrace a more colorful world. For businesses, we have a prime opportunity to amplify the […]
Struggling with the fear of selling yourself, your brains, your work, your creative genius? Yeah, I know a thing or two about that too. And as evidence that things are getting quarantine crazy, I’ve decided to show how we can push past that fear with an inspirational quote from the Secret Life of Pets 2. […]
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.

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). If you’re working remotely with a spouse that’s showing a totally different side of himself on conference calls (read: you’ve just realized you’re married to the small talk KING) or kids who love to shove goldfish in your […]
One of my favorite quotes about feeling confident in business or otherwise is from Barbara Bush. She says, “People who worry about their hair all the time, frankly, are boring.” And yet, I’m guilty of being one of those people who worry about my hair, makeup, clothes, and general outward appearance and inward emotions. Do […]
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 […]
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. With less than a week until the event where that speaker was to appear, we were thrown into an instant brainstorming […]
