  • Is it me?

    “Hey, the world is moving so fast!” Did I open with this line during my last post?  Often I find myself ‘checking in’ during self-reflection, I’m confirming whether the direction I’m headed qualifies whether or not I am still relevant. Make sense? Many (if not all) of us working for ourselves in a remote environment…

  • The next best thing is

    There are many things competing for our attention … perhaps just now it’s this note from me to you. Many of us take on more than we should, agreeing to and saying yes to things we probably shouldn’t. At some point, with all the demands, appeasement, noise and interruptions, when we finally sit down, it’s…

  • Go on, tell me more

We may be basking in a moment of success, a somewhat rare occasion when the day is cruising, uneventful, time is yours to play with … when it happens. Yes, change…

  • Putting the work in

    Another oft-overlooked advantage of joining a like-minded community is partnership. By putting the work-in, being brave, giving time to the room, we’re reaching a whole new community of listeners. Each of us have the potential to reach new prospects through recommendation.

  • How do they feel?

    Remember why you do what you do. If it’s to bring yourself and others a better standard of living, then understand that what you are offering to your network is worthy indeed. 

  • Hoooraaay!

    It’s relief, validation of her actions and in her product and service. It can be tricky for anyone wishing to start their own business. Today’s fickle, competitive, and somewhat demoralising world calls for a tough skin.
