Never a mistake, always a lesson (how to deal when you f’ed up bigtime).
ou messed up. Maybe it was something small like forgetting to attach a document to an email, or something really big that makes you look incompetent...or worse, seem like a huge inconsiderate jerk. We have all done it at one time or another, so how do you handle it and move on with some grace?
When Personal and Professional Collide…
We regularly have conversations about the smushiness of work and personal life when you are a small business owner. For most of us the line is constantly blurred. This is especially true for the soloprenuer. If you aren’t working, the work isn’t happening. Chaos in our personal life can have a huge impact on our business and vice versa.

Flowers don’t bloom by accident: Identifying opportunities for growth in your small business.
I'm a bit of a plant lady, and as of late I have been marveling at the bright pink azaleas in front of my house. Every Spring, they pop up and show off. To the neighbors, it looks effortless, but of course it takes work. Small business is kind of like that. From "across the street" it seems like success just happens, but the boss (and the gardener) both know that it takes a lot of planning, time and effort for the magic to happen.
Identifying your goals and mapping out a plan for success.
The most successful people on earth all have one thing in common: they set goals and see them through. Goal setting is a great way to consciously manage your time and resources in a way that promotes growth and progress. Since the most important step in goal setting is writing it down, we have developed a goal setting worksheet that you can download at the link in our bio! As you dive in to achieving your goals, here are some things to keep in mind:
Small Beginnings, Big Things (Developing little habits for a massive impact).
It would be great if we had the stamina to make drastic changes & stick with it, but we know that progress comes from small changes. Little habits add up over time, & just like working out, you have to flex that muscle daily in order to see the results you want. Here are a few strategies to effect positive change in your life & business.
