Have you ever had a boss that is passive-aggressive? Or one that spoke down to you or your colleagues? Maybe they know EVERYTHING about the business or industry you’re in and want to make sure that you do things THEIR way. We’ve all had experiences with other people that have made us feel a little icky or enraged, and on the contrary, we’ve worked with people who make us feel inspired and want to push ourselves to our highest potential. What are the differences between the two different scenarios?

Me too. Anxious, a little stressed, overwhelmed and probably putting way too much pressure on myself. You too?

Are you waiting for Prince Charming or for someone to save you? Maybe you’re waiting until this happens, or next year, or once you do this, then you can have x, y, and z. Whether in your business or life I want you to feel empowered to save yourself!

As we come into the colder temperatures and we make Google Flights our home page, we make a plan to get out of the cold. It’s nice to have a business that allows you to step away.

After reading the inspiring story of the Veuve Clicquot Ponsadin, the female entrepreneur behind the famous Champgane House, I’m talking about taking risks.

We all want to win people over at one point or another. Whether it’s your 5 year old who you want to get dressed, or your spouse that you want to convince to have what you want for dinner. Or, maybe it’s a client that you’re trying to win over to work with you or go through your process your way. Here are my steps for winning people over.

Let’s talk about taking criticism. As business owners or as humans, we work through new situations and get new feedback from clients, friends, colleagues, your dog, whoever. It doesn’t always feel good. You come home from work, your dog pooped on the rug, that’s feedback, you were gone too long. I want you to be able to take it like a boss, learn from it, be better.

 We all want more sales, more clients, more money, but how can we do that? Why aren’t your clients converting? Are you spending too much time with those who won’t actually benefit from your product or service?
