  • Losing clients? Make sure you’re not skipping this SUPER SIMPLE step

    Losing clients? Make sure you’re not skipping this SUPER SIMPLE step

    I was thinking about you recently because I’ve been having some customer service issues with a local business. This business provides a hybrid product and service, which I know so many of you do. You have your 1:1 service, but then there’s usually some sort of deliverable that goes along – a website, workbook, training…

  • When Business isn’t All Glamour and Sexiness ALL THE TIME

    When Business isn’t All Glamour and Sexiness ALL THE TIME

    Earlier this year, I had a HUGE client deliverable due. It took a good chunk of time and brainpower and the timeline for completion was short. To get through it, I relied on this little, but super unsexy trick – I wore the same thing each day until the project was done and out the…

  • Systems or Technology – which comes first?

    Systems or Technology – which comes first?

    This question comes to me often – when setting up your business for success, where should the focus go first? Should you concentrate on getting the right technology and software? Or is developing operational systems the first stop on the business organization train? After all, you can’t do such fundamental actions as sign up new email…

    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.

    Blitz what?!?! My secret method for beating overwhelm

    Ever have so many little but important tasks on your list that just beginning feels like you’re about to set out to climb K2? Even though I’m a planner and like to strategically go about my day, this happens to me from time to time. I get stuck! I want to make sure I’m starting with…

  • S#!T… you’ll never know it all and that’s totally OKAY

    S#!T… you’ll never know it all and that’s totally OKAY

    I once said, “as an entrepreneur, you never know everything” and I’m about to be smacked in the face with that thought multiple times over. Because next week, I’m off to Portland for the annual World Domination Summit. It’s a gathering of wonderful people who are seeking to live a remarkable life in a conventional…

  • be your own cheerleader

    be your own cheerleader

    At the conclusion of each quarter, I take some quiet time to myself to digest and reflect on how the last 3 months have gone in my business and life. The period of reflection can be an afternoon in duration or sometimes I go deep and it’s a couple of days. I find this time…

  • that time I totally bombed in front of an audience

    that time I totally bombed in front of an audience

    “You can’t shrink your way to greatness.” That was a line in a recent post by marketing genius Seth Godin. It wasn’t the attention-grabber intro nor was it the thought-provoking stinger at the end. The line was simply and thoughtfully placed inside the bigger context of the post, and yet this is what stuck with…
