One of the common money mistakes I see a lot of new business owners make is not separating their business and personal expenses. To some, tackling money may feel very challenging and there might even be resistance around getting started. Using some simple strategies...
This is our second episode of the She Runs It Panel Discussions, and we talked about Debt Free Funding for your business, and what it means to fund your enterprise. Our panelists have expertise in the areas of crowdfunding, small business grants, venture capitalism,...
Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of activating our B-MES (bee-mes) in order to keep yourself grounded. Not just as business owners and entrepreneurs, but as human beings with natural needs in the world. And in an earlier post this year I talked about the need to breathe,...
Admin Professionals Day was a holiday that I think was originally developed in order to recognize secretaries and people who help businesses stay afloat. As someone who worked for years in Operations I know that no one recognizes the admin until things go wrong. The...
It's time to rethink the way we were doing things and start coming up with innovative solutions. I've heard the expression that desperate times call for desperate measures. But what if unusual times call for unusual measures? It's interesting that in light of all the...
A couple of weeks. And already how quickly the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread across the globe. It's interesting to see how different people are responding. As with everything else, there only truly two ways to respond. Either with love or with fear. I'm sure if...
Let's talk about taking a break from working - it's an entrepreneur benefit. That's right! As much as I am a huge fan of setting intentional goals and being SMART about what you want to achieve, I'm also a huge fan of taking breaks. You may have read in a previous...
Self-care is a phrase that gets tossed around much too often when we talk about an entrepreneur mindset. If one more person tells me I need to 'fill my cup' I may just throw the whole cup against the wall. As an entrepreneur we are often tasked with more than any one...
Let's get into it folks. I'm talking about money, and when to reinvest in your business. It's February, which means you should have received all of your 1099s and W-2s at this point. We're getting ready to file taxes. If your business is responsible for quarterly...
Hey friends, dropping in today to talk about the things you should know as a new solopreneur. I'm sharing the behind the scenes/behind the curtain/under the kimono of running a business. I've been doing this professional coaching and consulting thing for years! And...
We all have heard the phrase "just say no" in reference to addiction or drug abuse. With the Me Too movement and the upsurge in women's empowerment we've heard "no means no" bandied about like that most powerful slogan that we all know it to be. And like many slogans,...
Just saw the new Marvel Avengers movie (yeah, I know I’m late. Life is kind of full) and I am having very coachy thoughts that I would like to share and discuss with some coachy friends. I actually love critical analysis but if you aren’t into the Marvel stuff, or...
In times of tumultuous change and especially new political climates, it's important for leaders to remember that part of the burden/opportunity of leadership is being the go-to person that people can trust when they need support. Great leaders demonstrate...
The holidays were good to me. I went to a place that I so disliked and that was so devoid of the cultural stimulation that I crave that I had no other choice but to be still. To eat and to breathe and then to eat again. I went to Florida and spent time with my...
