"People do not decide their future - They decide their habits and their habits decide their future." - F.M.Alexander Why is this so hard? It's what I have always wanted to do... and yet, here I am.  Nearly in tears. The roller coaster of emotions that come with running a business.  We've been taught, if we are't growing we're dying.  And y'all, I subscribe to that 1000%.    'Cept, here's the deal.  When is enough of enough?  When does one go, "Ok, you have enough projects, venues, aspects of your business.  Now let's just stop."  But if you stop... then you can't grow, and here we a ..read more

Don't you just love a good tip?  Something that will save you time, or help your business in a way that you didn't know you needed?   Especially a FREE one?  Yea, me too.  Today we're going to talk about one of my favorite social media platforms.  I love getting those beautiful photos of inspiration or stories of people living their dream.   But we're not going to talk about the pictures, or captions, or videos, or stories.  We're going to chat briefly about that one, very tiny, but VERY IMPORTANT detail, that's sometimes forgotten or overlooked by many, but essential for your own speci ..read more

Happy NEW  Year!  Yes!  2020?  Do you remember when this date seemed like it was forever away?  Yes... I'm dating myself a bit.  But here we are. It's the New Year and I'm sure you've got a list of Goals or Desires for 2020. I know I do.   Today is Wednesday, January 8th.  And this is when those New Years Goals may start to fall to the side or get all up in your face difficult.  But I must share what I woke up to this morning.  On my daily calendar from one of my favorite people, Jen Sincero:  "Desire literally means de sire, "of the father," and whether or not you believe in God, your ..read more

So here we are!  The last weeks of 2019! (And it's totally ok if you are thinking FINALLY.) The week before Winter break is always so intense.  I recently came upon this cute picture and am using this week in my social media posts. I just had to share!    I hope you can laugh.  December is intense.  BUT, hopefully the added "to do items" bring a smile on your face, because for the most part... they are "fun."  I know I'm a bit biased because being a mama does add a little magic into the Holiday season.  But either way, we all can take a deep breath... we're almost there.  OK. So I'll k ..read more

It's December 11th today!  Yikes. We have about 21 days yet to the end of  the year, and for some, the thought of throwing in the towel sounds lovely.   "Put a fork in me. I'm done." Whatever business goals have been set for 2019 are done. And, if they didn't quite hit the mark, they will go on the list for 2020. Again.  I'm there.  I get it.  There are a couple goals that I'm slightly irritated about putting on the "2020 Goal List" yet again. You know that insanity quote... "keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results?" I paraphrase.  There's been a lot of i ..read more

A repost from 2019.  I'm choosing to repost it because it still resonates deeply. When we choose to take action, and get up again we continue to get better.  And because I choose to continue to take action, this year has been a record year for me.  I hope it encourages you. If you're ready to take major action in your business, check out my new coaching/mastermind group: Level Up!  A high touch, intimate group of business leaders leaning in together for 90 days to launch 2020 into their most epic year.    _____________________________________________ So...

I'm not usually confrontational.  I like avoid those awkward moments and just quietly walk away.   But as a business owner, I see this happening, and I wanna kinda yell out to my fellow business owner ~ "You're missing an Opportunity!" So I'm "yelling it out" here.  I hope you can hear me :) And before I start my rant, I need to tell you that after seeing the mistake others were doing, I needed to take a look at myself.  Was I guilty of this same mistake?  Was I innocently leaving money on the table? Was I missing out on the opportunity for people to get my content because of this easil ..read more

  What just happened to you when you read that?  Was it an "Oooooohhhh" or an "Ahhhh," or was it an "Ouch."  Have you ever had those days, or weeks, or months... or God for bid, years... of "I'm sick and tired of spinning my wheels. Is this even really worth it?"  . . . Then hopefully, we see a little flicker of hope and we can keep on keeping on.  Because we're entrepreneurs. (plus, we HAVE to be glass half full...'cuz a lot of this work is NOT like our Instagram grid.)  You see y'all, a few years ago, I was in a place in my business where I was offering a lot of classes, but not o ..read more

What's your number?  No, I don't mean phone number.  Does anyone even ask that anymore?  I mean your Enneagram Number.  I'm a 3.  My bestie is a 2.  My assistant is a 7.  If you haven't heard of the Enneagram, listen up. (I mean keep reading.)   If you already know your number, put it in the comments!  I'd love to know who my readers are.  As a mama, business owner and a person who is trying to grow and improve daily, this little nugget of self assessment has single handily helped me understand, improve and understand my relationships better, or at least with much better understanding ..read more
