Find the systems you need to grow your business
As entrepreneurs it can be easy to get stuck in indecision, confusion or suffer from a lack of clarity around what to do next or how to move forward but I actually got to thinking about this when I was, quite literally, stuck in the muck.
A few days ago I was driving around the rural back roads in my neck of the woods when I took a “shortcut” that I’ve driven dozens of times, only to find my car sinking inches into a mud puddle that I was unable to exit. Continue Reading ￫
When it comes to project, both personal and business, I have a strong urge to finish which is exactly the hardest part of any project.
Ever paint an entire room only to run out of steam when it comes time to wash the paint brush?
Or spend months working on the program content for your new launch and then not have any energy to do the social media marketing? Continue Reading ￫

Recently I had a great conversation with an entrepreneur in her first few years of business and one of her big concerns was getting more clients. As we unpacked her offers and pricing and how she gets clients now, one thing became really apparent. One thing she, and probably you, wasn’t doing.
And the good news? It’s the simplest thing in the world! Continue Reading ￫
Back when I was graduating college, I knew that I’d be moving to the town I live in now but had no idea what would come next. Eventually I landed an office job and that was good, but I didn’t really have a path in mind. So, obviously, I started looking at graduate school. Continue Reading ￫
It’s time for a little introspection and calendar inspection.

When you first make the leap to full time entrepreneurship it takes a lot of courage and faith in your abilities to make it happen.

When I arrived for Easter lunch I wasn’t expecting to be drafted into the role of Easter bunny but there I was, basket full of eggs full of candy, frantically hiding them alongside my aunt in her backyard. By the end we just threw them haphazardly across the grass (there was a toddler after all) and rushed the kids outdoors. We weren’t being cruel, the skies opened up and poured on us 2 minutes after the last egg was collected.
Sometimes I listen to the stories that entrepreneurs tell about their journey and it sounds like b.s. Great story telling often leaves out the important – but boring – parts like “then there were 3 months when I got no sales and wanted to cry daily” or “and then we worked the same business plan for a year seeing small but steady growth.” Continue Reading ￫
