We all like to feel organized right, with our time and home and lives.   My business is one area that can get away from me if I'm not on top of information and documents and correspondence and all of the things thrown at me! Today, I talk about 6 very specific tools that I use daily to help me keep on top of all of my to-do lists.  This goes for me AND my clients!!   Some of these tools, you might have heard of...some of them, maybe not - but either way, I hope they help you understand the...

How do you sell - without feeling salesy?   How do you help your potential clients know that you truly care about their problems?   How do you connect with your audience so that they WANT to reach out to you? These are questions that I hear from YOU, all of the time.  We struggle to ride that fine line of helping our audience and knowing their problems AND helping them see that we have a product or service that can solve their problem.  We don't want to be yucky or salesy and turn them...

The New Year is right around the corner. Its sneaking up fast.   New Years, New Months, Monday's...none of them scare me.  I welcome them. I LOVE building goals, do you?   Today, I particularly want to talk about a few things that I've learned over the years REALLY make a difference when building my business bigger from year to year.   The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  Don't waste another year trying to get old, outdated...

We all want to grow in our businesses.  We need help.  We need to learn new techniques.  We need to increase our income.  We really need to hire help or call on the gifts of a marketing strategist, but we don't have the money.  It takes investment of money to call on those people.   But, what if there was a way to promote yourself without hiring it ALL out and you could do part of the work.  It cuts down on cost and it keeps you front and center in your business.   Today, I talk about 9...

We all want the same thing!  Sales and Income!   However, we have to slow down.  Growth and sales doesn't happen overnight.  There is testing.  There are new techniques.  There are mistakes.  There are re-tries.  The list goes on and on.  We have to go through the highs and lows.  We have to go through that "messy middle" in order to really understand the top, when we get there.   Success requires a lot of things, but patience might be the most important.  Are YOU willing to give what it...

Its never been a secret, I struggle on a major level with anxiety.  Social and mental.  I've had periods of my life where depression was a real and very scary thing.  I'm a self proclaimed, class A introvert and...I'm okay with it.  It part of who I am now.   People look at me and talk to me and doubt everything about me, that I'm about to discuss with you today.  I'm a very high functioning business owner.  I'm a super high achieving #bossmom.  I'm a business manager, a business assistant,...

For those of us who market our business on social media, we see the impact that social media influencers have on their audiences.  They seem to be successful with whatever they touch!  Its amazing.   I've been watching them and have learned a few things from them over the years.  They do three VERY specific things that all of us should do, no matter if we want to be influencers or not.  They use attraction marketing to their advantage and we can do the same, no matter what our businesses...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Its hard to focus our businesses on anything other than our product or service.  We need to sell in order to make money, so why wouldn't we try to sell, sell, sell to everyone we see or meet.   People don't buy products from anyone, they buy from people they trust!!   My network marketing friends seem to struggle a bit more with this.  They have to make money by selling a product or service for another company.  That's how they make money.  They spin their wheels...

In my opinion, a website is necessary for your business. It should be the hub.  You can only grow your business, if you're doing everything you can to reach the customers that are out there looking for you.  What are they Googling?  What are they looking up on their Pinterest?  What are their needs?  What are they looking for?  If you're using those words and triggers in the wording or your website, they are finding you no matter where they are looking for you.  I've added an incredible...

Branding and Marketing are both so important when it comes to showcasing your business and your hard work.  We need both of them daily, when targeting our audiences.   The two though, are very different.  They should be treated differently and used differently in your techniques.  You strategy and how you use them, says a lot about you and your knowledge of the two.   Today, I talk about the differences in them, how to use them and how to set yourself apart with them!  Once you understand...

As women, we struggle to feel needed.  Especially in midlife.  The kids are grown, the "mom responsibilities" are lifting, the house is quieter (and cleaner!) and we want to contribute to retirement and the life we want to live with our spouse.   There are more and more people making the decision to start a business, rather than go back to work, or continue to work.  That's exciting.  But, for us, its scary!  What if we aren't good enough.  What if I screw up?  I don't want to waste a bunch...

I'm not sure about you, but I'm SO tired of the fake, over-exaggerated advertising on Facebook.  "I can show you how to make 6 figures in 6 months."  "If you're not following me, you'll not be successful"  "Join my free workshop and learn ALL my tips for success." Gag!!!  We've seen them all....right??!  The truth is, that is where our self doubt and imposter syndrome shows its ugly head.  But why?  Because we want to be like them.  We want to be successful too.  And surely, if we...

We talk a lot about what we SHOULD be doing in our businesses, or what to add that might make them better...but, we rarely talk about what to quit doing or what might be HURTING the business that we are trying to maintain.   Today, I want to talk about four VERY important, simple elements to STOP doing in your business right away!  They are easy.  This is short.  But, maybe one of the more important episodes I'll ever do.  This is good stuff!  I'll see you inside.... Are you in need of...

We all want success.  We all do what we know and are told to do.  We all add in the appropriate techniques.  But...none of it matters if we don't have these things in place.  These are very easy, straight forward concepts that SHOULD come naturally, but often don't.  What do you need to be successful in your business?  And, are you using these things to your ability?  Are they going to make you a millionaire?  No matter if you have your sights on Millions or Thousands or even a certain goal...

Failure is so scary.   Those "what if's" start creeping in from all over and they overtake our thoughts and make us quit trying.  We put unrealistic time frames on ourselves and feel pressured to succeed.   Today, I talk about 4 very real things to try, to switch over a mindset of negative thinking, to a mindset of positive, confident goal building.  Knowledge is power and this short episode will give you clarity in recognizing your fears and then how to attack them head on!  I think you're...

Freebies.  Lead Magnets. Give-aways.  We call them different things, but they all attract customers when we are promoting our services.   Sometimes, its hard to know what works best when offering free info.  Today, I talk about 6 of my very favorite freebies and I give examples as to how you can use them for your business, no matter what your business is!  You want this list!!   Effective training and tips can draw your audience in faster than any post or smart SEO you use.  One should...

Imposter syndrome is real and its ugly.  It makes us question ourselves and our worth, to the point it makes us quit sometimes.  Confidence is the remedy to any feeling that you have about yourself, your business or how you show up.   What if you could post without thinking twice about what you were saying?  What if you could post a picture without questioning how you look?  What if you could talk for a long time with a friend or a client about something because you are so knowledgeable in...

I love talking about mindset and the effect that it has on our businesses.  It is our most necessary, but most under-utilized tool.  How your mindset effects your business has direct correlation with how success you are or want to be. Today, I go over 3 exercises that specifically help to turn a bad day, into just a SINGLE bad day.  You don't have to carry around a string of bad-days and negative mindset anymore.  So many people have a cascade of bad days over and over and they end up...

We love to give free content to our clients and our audience base, but are we going about it the right way?  Freebies are super effective to gain eyes and ears, but if you aren't getting them...maybe you better listen in!   Today, I talk about 5 tips that have helped me get more eyes on my freebies and in turn, have become clients or part of my audience.  I LOVE giving valuable content, especially content that makes people think.  I try to be creative.  I try to be real and authentic. I try...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!   Let's talk about what's new.  What's real. What hurts. What Matters.   I had some time to think and reflect this week.  (p.s.  sorry about the audio in this episode, its not so easy to record on the run without my appropriate gear...but still, 1000% worth it!)  This week I want to tear into 10 lessons that I've learned or understood better in my 40 years.   While I'm not dying or even thinking about the end of my life, I have come to realize that my life is at...
