Moms hold a very special place in my heart. Working Moms hold a very special place in this world. They bring their nurturing to the work that they do, as well – what could be any better than that? There’s a TON of good Moms do when they bring that skill to the world. They can [...] Read more »

Fuel that Fire! (part 2)
Last week, I talked about how fast moving these times are as a servicepreneur and how time consuming and draining it can be as well. The art of self-care is often talked about, yet we can often place that at the end of our list of things to do. Likely, it falls off the list [...] Read more »
Fuel that Fire! (part 1)
Well, servicepreneurs – if you haven’t experienced it yet, you should know that being fast and flexible is a critical skill in being an entrepreneur. Things change so rapidly these days and we are constantly moving to keep up. As exciting as it feels, it can also be time consuming and draining. I’m sure you’ve [...] Read more »
A Dream without a Plan is just a Wish
Just the word “plan” can send the strongest of servicepreneurs running in the other direction. In my experience, most servicepreneurs are creative-types and creative-types tend to shy away from planning anything. We want to ‘go with the flow’ and ‘see what the universe sends us’. We count on the clients we have to keep coming [...] Read more »

LinkedIn came later (launched May 2003). Facebook came later (launched February 2004). YouTube (launched November 2005), Twitter (launched July 2006), and so many others came along and changed [...] Read more »
Do you hear crickets?
One of the main things I hear from servicepreneurs is “ I hate to make phone calls.” Being in the helping professions, it can be easier to wait for someone to come to us who needs our help. We feel more comfortable with that because, after all, everyone *knows* that we’re here to help them……. [...] Read more »
I loves me some SME’s!
When I started my first business, I was on a shoestring budget. So, when tax time came around, I made the choice to do that myself. Once I dug into all the receipts and stuff – I thought, “Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into?” I quickly called a bookkeeper I had met [...] Read more »
Different = Great
When I graduated from coaching school, I was so excited to start bringing my gift of Life Coaching to the world! When people asked me what I did, I excitedly told them I was a Life Coach. I got many smiles and nods in return. What I wasn’t getting was much business. As I became [...] Read more »
K.I.S.S. Your Worries Goodbye!
Have you heard of the K.I.S.S. principle? Some of you may have heard it referred to as “Keep It Simple, Stupid”. Well, “stu#@!” was a four-letter word in my house growing up, so my version is “Keep It Super Simple!” It’s a little softer, right? It’s SO important for us to be gentle with ourselves…..
