    18 Things I’m Doing to Rock 2018 (It’s Not Too Late!)

    Confession time: 2018 started off pretty stagnant over here, mixed with a healthy pinch of intense overwhelm. So many people use the start of a new year to get back into the swing of things. They wake up on January 1st, ready to attack the day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. That, my friend, just did not…

    The One Where I Share My Hack for Finding Focus

    As a business owner, finding the opportunity to fully give yourself over to a task feels like a rarity. About as frequent as the unicorn passing under a rainbow on its way to meet the leprechaun and share the pot of gold. There’s always something to do and lots of balls up in the air…

    Business Tools I Love: Canned Responses for Gmail

    “OMG – Canned Responses are my new best friend. That is all.” That was the email from a happy client recently, after I recommended Canned Responses to her. And last week, while in an operations + tech overview for a client’s new assistant, she had a similar reaction to finding out about the tool. It…

    Who wants to be like Eleanor Roosevelt? Here’s a hint – show up!

    As business owners, there’s a lot we want to do, some things we need to do and activities we’re excited to do at the start but lose their luster over time.
