I resisted. For the longest time. Working with people starting a business. People in startup mode are overwhelmed and when my clients are overwhelmed, I get overwhelmed. When you are starting, you need so much. All at once. I didn’t think I had the ability to be effective and really help. Until I realized that […]

December is Reinvention Month
December is Reinvention month. We reinvent ourselves whenever we want to level up. Because the thinking that got us here won’t get us there.

Ecstatic Customers make your Business Be...
A Successful business is built around making customers ecstatic. Why ecstatic? Because ecstatic customers make your life easier. They engage with you, they help you help them.

The Effortless Business
