Be honest, have you ever made a statement like this one? I would venture to guess that you have. I hear every day from business owners of all different backgrounds, industries and confidence levels just how bad they think they are at sales. There is a BIG misconception out there that you either “have it”
A few weeks ago, a group of women business owners and I were having a conversation about the unmotivated space we have found ourselves in recently. It seems like after pivoting through a pandemic, going back into a recession survival mode, working through more time at home with spouses and kids and losing our ability
Have you ever wondered what the #1 mistake business owners make when it comes to marketing? I bet you are thinking… not spending enough on Facebook ADs…. Or even… not having a good enough website…….

After all, how can you truly connect with them when you aren’t really sure what lights their hearts on fire? This true connection at the end of the day can be the difference between success and failure in your business
Last December, Steven and I decided to make our very own, personalized marriage retreat just for the two of us. Ok maybe I decided, but in all honesty I have the most patient and amazing spouse who is “usually” up for anything I propose! Was there something major wrong with our marriage? No! But we
A few years ago, I volunteered to host Thanksgiving for my husband’s side of the family. Just to give you an idea of the landscape… We have 2 vegans, 1 vegetarian and a handful of meat eaters and me with all 23 of my food allergies. Year after year, I’ve watched the non meat eaters
