3 WAYS TO DEAL WITH THE “COMPETITION,” DEPENDING ON HOW THEY VIEW WINNING.
A lot of my market thinks more collaboratively than competitively. In fact, many will see this post and think I’m going in the wrong direction. Competition being “constrictive” and collaboration, “there’s more than enough business to go around” being more expansive. And I get it. Truly. In fact, I don’t even ADMIT or ACKNOWLEDGE “competition.”

EXPOSED: THE MYTH OF THE CHEAP COACH (AND HOW TO PRICE YOUR COACHING.)
How “should” coaches price their work? Let’s face it… the whole “materials + Labor + profit” equation doesn’t work. And, I DO NOT recommend it, but if you were inclined to “Price” towards the middle, the middle is HUGE. Some coaches charge $5000 an hour, or $20K per month, and some are coaching for

The hardest thing about making money as a coach or expert isn’t ACTUALLY the coaching or speaking or expert-ing.

6 Things WILDLY SUCCESSFUL Women Entrepreneurs Have in Common
WHY DIDN’T ***EVERYONE*** IN MY PROGRAM CREATE 6 FIGURES IN 6 MONTHS? I’m a ponderer. A dot connector. I wonder — at times — why MORE people don’t question MORE things about MORE things. I wonder how many CRITICAL THINKERS we have left in the world. I fear the answer is, “not many.” But, I

IF YOU KNEW ME FROM A YEAR AGO…. OR 10 OR 20 OR 30 YEARS AGO… YOU **STILL** KNOW (THE REAL) ME.
I see a lot of women posting a meme… “If you know me from a year ago, you don’t know me.” You know, because they’ve changed, grown, evolved sooooooo much. And, of course, I applaud it. I grow and change every day. That’s sort of the point. (of life) I would HATE not to
