We all thought 2020 threw us out of kilter… and then came 2021. Between lockdowns, homeschooling, and juggling businesses (that felt closed more often than open), it’s no wonder so many of us felt DONE. But there’s a difference between being done (that a holiday could fix 😉) and BURNOUT. Let’s talk about the signs […]

STOP! Flamingo Time! (Definitely sung to the tune of particular hit song released in 1990.) Flamingo time is what I have coined the time that I take for myself where nothing is planned.

If I had to sum up the top 5 challenges I hear from women in business, it would go something like this. Let me know if these sound familiar: I need more uninterrupted, productive hours to get out of the daily grind and actually move my business forward. My marketing just isn’t working. I’m constantly […]

A quick note before we get started on this week’s blog post… It will make a lot more sense if you’ve read last week’s post first! You can catch that HERE and then come back and join me.  So today we’re talking about once we’ve got “the right people on our bus”, are they “in […]

Today, I want to talk to you about building your ideal team. In Jim Collins’ book Good to Great he uses the metaphor of “getting the right people on the bus” when talking about teams, and it’s a concept that really resonates with me. Think about it: When you’’ve got the right people on the […]

There are two time management techniques that have made an incredible difference to my productivity and the quality of work I get done when it comes to running my three businesses. I know if you took the time to implement these techniques, you’d see a big difference too—so let’s get into them! The Pomodoro Technique […]

Today, we’re talking about something close to my heart—my to-do list. It may sound a little dramatic, but without my to-do list, I can’t function.
