It Doesn't Hurt to Ask.
After careful strategizing and planning, my business partner (for Coaches HQ) and I ran into a brick wall. For six weeks we tossed around ideas, interviewed candidates, and tried to stay positive while we wracked our brains to find a way forward.
While we tried to work through the roadblock, I also happened to have a call with a connection of mine currently volunteering for Pawssible. During our conversation, I mentioned that one of our other volunteers, Sam, was donating his digital marketing s…

The impact of work-life alignment with Bunny Young -The Dave Pamah Show
I had a blast on The Dave Pamah Show, talking about the impact of a work-life balance. Take a moment to listen to the podcast and share what you think!
Cancer Sucks/I am making a plan for Cancer
The most important woman in my life was recently diagnosed with cancer. Tomorrow she goes in for surgery.
But to be honest, I feel like I am walking around in a complete fog. I saw two clients today and was, fortunately, able to get into the flow during our time together, ignoring my underlying feelings of impending doom. But those two client sessions were the only times all day that I managed to rise above the heaviness.
I won’t share this woman’s name here out of respect for her. But I will sp…

How Much Does a Business Coach Cost?
One of the most common questions that I get as a coach for A Better Place is, “How much is business coaching going to cost?” This a very logical and important question for anyone looking at investing in the advice and guidance of an expert, but it’s rarely answered directly. Because transparency is one of our core values here at ABP, we decided we wanted to answer it. Plus, you deserve to know. So without further ado, here are what we consider the most important cost and value considerations to …
Five Fantastic Lessons I Learned from Business Failure.
Very recently, a business of mine failed, just 1 month after the grand opening. I wish I could tell you this was a first for me, but it wasn’t my first business failure. And I can almost promise you it will not be my last. Though there were business partners involved in this particular situation, I want to make it clear: I place no blame. Rather, I seek to take full responsibility for my own role and share what I learned, celebrating my lessons and growth.

Sleep Delayed by a Traffic Jam of Thoughts?
Recently, I was listening to a Headspace meditation, and the meditation referenced the “traffic jam” in our minds. As one who practices meditation regularly, I’ve heard this phrase used before to describe the mind’s unending flow of thoughts. But as I suddenly realized how frequently I’d heard the expression, my mind slowed, circled back, and focused in, ironically creating a little “traffic jam” in my mind.
Though you may not be into meditation yourself, if you’re an entrepreneur, it’s likely y…

Why I Love Coworking
I have three offices. Two of them are located inside coworking spaces. In order to share what I love about coworking, let’s take an imaginary journey through a typical day looks at one of my offices.
9:00 am (ish) I roll into the office around nine-ish. Or maybe a little after. Because most of my coworking co-workers own their own businesses like I do, arriving any earlier tends to warrant heckling. Same goes with staying past noon on a sunny Friday (or any sunny day, for that matter).
9:10 am I…

Last week, I chopped off my hair.
I shared with the stylist that I wanted to feel lighter and change things up. When I turned around, nine inches were gone, and there were tons of layers. I felt dramatically lighter and energized by my new look.
Later that afternoon, when I hopped on Facebook Live to check in with ABP Difference Makers group, I was surprised by the amount of positive feedback I received. But every single day since, people have continued to approach me to tell me how much they love my style. Then they inevitably c…
