I’ve never understood why people have such a hard time asking for help. It seems like we fall into a trap that we have to do it all. Entrepreneurs starting their own businesses get overwhelmed and completely bogged down when they try to handle every aspect of their business from…
Today is the last day I’ll be posting a blog. Hah! Just kidding. I got your attention though, right? The reality is I’ll be moving to a new URL! Here are some details about my new website that I’ll be unveiling in September: Who should visit: small business owners and/or…
I recently started a new morning routine that has made me happier, more productive and motivated every single day. The routine involves learning, reflecting and moving, and was inspired by Hal Elrod‘s book “The Miracle Morning.” I was first introduced to Elrod on Jess Lively’s podcast. (I recently blogged about…
