  • Is DIY Killing Your Business? 3 questions to ask yourself.

    I don’t know a single entrepreneur that didn’t start their business with some type of do-it-yourself (DIY) approach. Most of us begin with more time than money, and it makes sense to capitalize on that resource. In fact, I tell would-be clients all the time that the less money you have, the more you need…

  • 6 Big Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make With Their Income Plan

    At this point in the new year, more than 25% of Americans have already given up on our New Year’s resolutions -that is, if we even made them in the first place. By the end of the month, that number climbs to nearly 35% of Americans (more resolution-related stats here). Some folks (and businesses) are just getting…

  • 5 Mistakes You Might Be Making In Your Annual Plan

    This week I successfully completed all my planning for January! Woo hoo! I know many entrepreneurs who are still shuffling papers and won’t solidify their plans until sometime in the middle of the month – after they’ve given up on more than half their New Year’s resolutions.

  • 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…

  • DUMB goals: How to achieve success in what really matters most

    “Dreams without goals are just dreams that ultimately fuel disappointment.” – Denzel Washington You know what SMART goals are, right? It’s a helpful little acronym that breaks your goals into something that’s: So many people use SMART goals – and for a lot of people that works. But not me. Not for a lot of big…

  • 924: The old Porsche and a new perspective

    About a year ago, my husband and I bought a Porsche. We call it “The Time Machine” because it’s really a blast from the past. When we bought it, we got the expected commentary from friends and family: “A Porsche? Really? How can you afford that?” “What are you going to do with a Porsche?…
