  • What my photo shoot taught me about pricing (it’s not what you think!)

    This week I had an AMAZING photo shoot that’s been several months in the making. I knew when I landed in Nashville, starting over would take up a good portion of my first year here. I also knew that I had projects that still needed to move forward: I’ve been sitting on Creative Freedom for a…

  • Why a hiatus might be good for your creative business

    No sooner had I finished my lunch when the phone rang. It was my oldest. “Hey, are you okay?” “Not really, Mom. Aunt Dian died.” Less than an hour later, I was on the road to Michigan. 9 hours later, I’m crashing at my ex-husband’s house for the night. That meant I wasn’t able to…

  • Achieve Your Most Important Goals: 4 Tips For Faster Progress

    Now that the new year and my birthday are both behind me, it’s time to get back into the swing of things.

  • What becoming a best-seller looks like…

    Back in November, as I do every year, I made my book “The Secret Watch” available for a limited time at a special price. The first year, I just wanted to see how many people I could share it with, so I said I’d do a back flip if 1000 people would download it on…

  • Feeling stuck? Free Next Step Sessions

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been offering up tools, ideas, and resources that I usually find helpful this time of year to help me get a jump start on the new year. From The Success Finder, to my new Dream Owner’s Creed, and the Profit First Instant Assessment, each has been a part of what I use…

  • Business feeling sluggish? Ask for help

    I chuckle now as I look back on my collegiate career. Convinced that I was “too poor” to be able to afford to hire a band, a graphic designer, or a business manager, I learned how to do all those things myself. I took classes in business, law, graphic design, and music. My first album…

  • The prize at the top of the waterfall

    This past week, I was fortunate to be able to travel to the Berkshires and visit with great friends. Actually, they’re more like sisters. As one of the inscriptions reads in my book, sometimes friends are as family, and these ladies are it. We met during Amy Oscar’s Soul Caller retreat last year, and we’ve kept…

  • The Convo: Creating Space For The Sacred With Joanna Weston
