    How to do Events + Networking Right: Introvert Edition

    This week, I’m in DC for a client event. Although this is an event I planned, it has me reflecting on events and networking in general. I admit, I started out absolutely not wanting to do either. These were on a constant loop in my head: “I hate networking and group events.” “I never know…

    Please, Please, Please Don’t Be Like This (a lesson in what not to do with your email list)

    Earlier this year, I was planning an event for one of my clients. It was going to be her first in-person event in over 1 1/2 years. We were going to go big with signage and attendee swag and photos and videos and lavish catering – the works! But, I don’t live in the same…

    Get What You Came For

    At any moment, we can choose to feel… happy. elated. frustrated. overwhelmed. disappointed. Any colorful emotion in the crayon box is always available to you (and also some that aren’t).

    I have something to tell you that you may not want to hear… … you are not a machine. Better yet, you don’t have to be one to have a successful business. But you also can’t do it all on your own. The last common trait all successful business owners have is a team – a…

    Let’s get real for a moment, being a business owner can be lonely at times. Yes, we’re independent, comfortable going off on our own. We actually relish this type of freedom. But it’s a tad too quiet at times. I mean, we can’t always talk out our ideas with ourself or the wall or our…

    Systems + Processes + Why You Need Them

    Remember how last time  I said that there are three specific principles that all successful business owners have in common and one of those is Systems. And then you probably did a groan and eye roll. Because in your experience, systems are boring and structured and cookie cutter and limiting. Everything you were trying to…

  • What Do Successful Business Owners Have in Common?

    What Do Successful Business Owners Have in Common?

    Courage – check! Confidence – check! Clarity – check! My most successful clients have had all of those qualities in spades. Someone could argue that as vital as those traits are, those aren’t the definable characteristic of a successful business owner. So what actually takes a business owner from merely ‘being in business’ to ‘skyrocketing…
