When Going it Alone is Going Nowhere.
I’ve said it before. We’re not meant to do this entrepreneur thing alone. Personally, I’d be lost without my Biz Besties, coaches and mastermind team. I thrive on the conversations, interaction, ideas and motivational accountability. Masterminds are especially valuable for that accountability and forward momentum, but they’re not for everyone or for every stage of business. So […]
The Trap of Working IN Your Business, not ON it
Danger! Danger! Most of us start our entrepreneurial journey with a passion. A passion to serve, to share our expertise, or just for the love of what we do. With that, we jump into our business with both feet, hands and everything else and devote as much time as we can spare for the creation […]
Creating Visibility: Do Your Customers Even Know You Exist?
Visibility means having your entrepreneurial business be visible to the audience you want to serve. This means being in front of them in any number of ways and creating a strategy for promoting brand awareness that is custom-made for the stage of development your business is in. This week, I will walk you through two […]
Do You Hate Sales? Then Don’t Sell.
I used to dread the thought of selling. It didn’t fit my personality; I hated feeling spammy or pushy. I just dreaded the whole process. But business doesn’t happen, and revenue doesn’t come in, without the selling. The game changer for me was moving from selling to inviting. It’s an offer, not a push. Need […]

Has Content Creation Become a Chore? You Need a System.
My biz is content heavy. In January of 2018, I made a commitment to doing a weekly blog post. Talk about a stretch goal! This seemed absolutely impossible, as the most I had been able to do previously was a post every 3-4 weeks. But I knew that consistency builds visibility, fans, and engagement. I […]
Imposter Syndrome – Flip the Script!
When I start working with clients, one of the first subjects we deal with is mindset. One of the topics that always, always comes up for the female entrepreneur is “Who am I to think I can do this?” …or teach this, or provide this service, or whatever. The fear is all the same. […]
Know Your Numbers
I know. It feels like hopping on the scale. That dreaded moment that many women agonize over (me too!) when they get on the scale to check their weight. Time’s up! Was I good, or bad? Is there shame or self-doubt? Jubilation? Body image aside, we need to get over that fear regarding our businesses. […]
Fastest Path to Growth? Tap Into Your Network
What do you envision when you think of growing your business? Typically it’s new leads or prospecting. But most of us do a really crummy job of utilizing that asset called our network, or our Biz Besties, to really help us grow. What is a Biz Bestie? You may have met recently or known each […]
CEO Time – Is it on Your Calendar?
Ah – time to plan…when is there ever enough time to stand back and just think? I may sound like a broken record, but putting a non-negotiable block of time on your calendar for CEO time is the only way this is going to happen. As entrepreneurs, especially during growth surges, it is easy to […]
