  • Two Secrets to a Productive Day

    Two Secrets to a Productive Day

    We all have LOTS we want to get done within any given day, right? You want to be efficient. You want to be creative. You want to be mindful and intentional. You don’t want to feel like you’re always putting out fires. When I work with clients to be more productive, there are two actions…

  • Is your web contact form hurting your business?

    Is your web contact form hurting your business?

    Let’s talk bad customer service when on the interwebs. Did you know it can take six to eight touches before a client decides to buy from you? Sometimes those touches come in the form of interacting in your Facebook group or reading your weekly newsletter or taking part in your recent challenge. On the flip side,…

    The one thing I won’t outsource

    As an entrepreneur, you read a lot, watch even more and connect with many. Through those connections, you hear so much advice of growing a business (hey, that’s probably why you’re reading this post, right). A huge tip is to outsource and delegate as much as possible.

    Lather, Rinse, Repeat for Business

    You’ve probably seen the movie Groundhog Day. Right? Maybe it’s because I grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Or because my family is a ‘golf family’. Or because when I root for a baseball team, it’s the Cubs (always). Yes, you could say I have a weird affinity for this movie and its…

  • Just acknowledge it ALREADY

    Just acknowledge it ALREADY

    I see it so frequently, especially in online communities, a job posting for a Virtual Assistant. But there’s always the last bit that sets my blood boiling a bit: Growing small business looking for a highly-motivated, highly-experienced, rock star VA to assist in daily operations. Must have experience supporting multiple 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs and…

  • Finding the Deep Root of the Problem

    Finding the Deep Root of the Problem

    What I’ve seen lately in my work with clients and conversations with other entrepreneurs is that MAJOR business shifts are on the brain. Maybe it’s the time of year? Maybe it’s current political climate we’re living in? Something’s in the air that’s causing people to reevaluate what they are doing, how they’re spending their money…
