Let me start with raw, uninhibited honesty. It BAFFLES me to see a woman who considers herself an entrepreneur (or even “just” a business owner) who will do all manner of things to “grow her empire,” but shies away from selling. (The exact thing REQUIRED to grow her empire.) Frankly, it feels a bit entitled.

What you do EVERY day is far more important and impactful that what you do ONE DAY. It is an “always” role. I don’t ever stop being a mom, and I don’t put on and take off my “business hat.” These identities are part of who I AM.. I don’t “play” mom or business owner.

I hear a lot about patterns, and when they are discussed, it is NEARLY ALWAYS with a certain “powerlessness” that i — frankly — have little (read: no) patience for. as in, “This just KEEPS happening to me. WHOAH IS POOR PITIFUL ME.” This always happens TO me, they say. I ALWAYS do this… I

The truth is, you can learn an awful lot by IGNORING the commercial and

(An entirely different kind of GUARANTEED ROI) I have written over 100 articles on the weak energy, the languishing impotence, the dreadful DRAG of “waiting.” In other words, INACTION. (I heard the term ROI defined as Return on Inaction first from Dean Jackson. Loved it!) Whether you’re waiting for “things to turn around” or waiting

This article shows data to support what isn’t surprising: The good ole US of A is the FRIENDLIEST country for women entrepreneurs. It further details that female entrepreneurship is on the rise and that women represent around 1/3 of all the self-employed people in the world. CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE. GO TEAM WOMAN! But

The term “monogamy” has shown up everywhere lately — and not EXACTLY in most flattering of lights — so I figured I’d get ALL SORTS of naked with you guys and weigh in. (And also show you how my “version” of a monogamous marriage plays out in how I market and sell as well.) So,
