I Bet You’re Not Even Doing the Basics

back_to_school_2010

We're almost to the half way mark for the year and boy is it flying by! I wanted to let you in on a little secret that I'm doing right now in my business and it's about SIMPLIFYING. Yes, you heard it here first....the queen of doing all kinds of stuff in her biz is SIMPLIFYING. Let me share with you why.... You see, while the leveraged business models are still working, there are some business models that you want to spend your time on and some you ABSOLUTELY DON'T right now.... It's time to 'Get Back to the Basics' of what works in your business, your marketing, your follow up and your overall effective work habits. In the last few months every business owner I've spoken … [Read more...]

What’s LOVE got to do with it?

glitter-gold-heart-love-Favim.com-167822

Many times entrepreneurs get stuck in their businesses and can’t figure out what’s going wrong when the money stream dries up, clients drop off, and referrals disappear.  This can be so confusing, frustrating, and emotionally draining. It might be surprising to you to find out that, regardless of what type of financial situation you’re in, many entrepreneurs struggle because of lack of love in their life….love and support for or by a significant other, love and confidence in yourself or love for life or your business in general. Lack of love in any capacity can surely hold you back from making huge monetary gains in your business whether you realize it or not. And this can … [Read more...]

Who is determining your wealth?

money-tag1-300x211

Do you really know what you’re making per hour after all is said and done? I’ve worked with hundreds of women entrepreneurs who THINK they really know how much money they make. When we really break it down to all the time they’re spending before, during and after the sale, many times they’re shocked to see what that price tag really is.  Sometimes it’s even less than working in a fast food restaurant! So I ask you: How much money do you ACTUALLY  make per hour?  Is it above minimum wage? Have you ever taken the time to ask yourself WHY you have you priced yourself (or your products and services) the way you have? When was the last time you looked at your … [Read more...]

What you think about Money is Affecting Your Love Life AND Your Business!

mindset noun

As I reflect on my own life, going through a breakup a few years ago in my personal life and recent “breakups” in my business, I'm compelled to write about Love and Money, the topic I hosting a weekend retreat in June 2012. So let me ask you: what the heck does our mindset around money have to do with our love life and then in turn our businesses?? Well let me tell you...everything! Reflecting back so quickly after this has all happened is a feat in itself I must say, thank goodness for me doing my own continuous work on myself, my love for myself, my money issues and my business development. Otherwise I might still be wallowing in a deep, dark depression about ‘what is wrong with … [Read more...]

LIVE BIG! Not small….

Wow, what a week. I came back from being gone 11 days, living out of hotels in San Diego and Las Vegas...then to catch a cold. The Universe really wants to STOP me in my tracks and is putting every barrier in front of me to give in, hold back or not to press forward on things I know I need to be doing.Do you ever feel like that?Do you sometimes consider that things like this, declined credit cards, traffic, etc. are all just 'signs' that you shouldn't be doing whatever it is you're trying to do?Well, I'd challenge you to consider that these things aren't 'signs' but think of them as illusions or as your subconscious trying to stop you instead. If you think of them as challenges or obstacles … [Read more...]

What’s a Budget, Got a Budget?

Ok so this is the big question....do you have a budget for your business? 99.9% of business owners that I talk to do not. Nor do they even know how to create one. Now I'm not a budgeting expert mind you but I do see a lot of start up business owners every month and I help them figure out where and how much to spend on WHAT in their business, their marketing and their big picture planning. So what I did was put together a 'very general' and pretty conservative budget template. You can see if you're spending what you might want to spend as an online marketer, small business owner or entrepreneur??I'm including it in this link because it's a little too complex to copy into this ezine direct - … [Read more...]
