How does paying to outsource now save you long-term? This is such a GREAT question I love to answer.

When you hire experts, such as Check Off Your List, your time is free to focus on revenue producing activities. You can focus on what makes the most impact in your business rather than drowning in the day to day, by delegating those tasks. This allows you to focus on the bigger goals for your business and saves you time and money... today and long term!

These days, I find myself reaching for my coffee more often- life feels like pure chaos. The kids have been back to school for about a month, and another school year is flying by. Kids' activities are in full swing - gymnastics, voice lessons, football, ballet - all while I have a brand new show premiering at on September 23rd. I've blinked, and summer is essentially gone.

Thankfully, I was able to cherish every summer moment - every park trip, every afternoon swimming, every family dinner followed by baseball in the backyard - all of it.

And a lifestyle of delegating tasks I'm not passionate about made it all possible. I didn't want to let summer end without taking a moment of gratitude. Sometimes, I cannot believe that this life is mine. The calm and chaos is all mine, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

01/09/2022

Have you heard?! I get to be a part of a panel of 21 working women, and we are sharing all of our secrets about how we calm the chaos while balancing motherhood and a career as well as how to feel fulfilled every day so you can create a life you truly love.

No one said being a working mom is easy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun and a whole heck of a lot easier than it has been.

So join me in The Working Mom Series from September 5-11. This event has it all, sleep experts, time management coaches, holistic teachers, influencers, and soooo much more. Oh, and did I mention we are giving away over $3100 of resources, tools, 1:1s, classes, and more, FREE?! This is so you can have support well after this series is over.

All too often, I see entrepreneurs taking on every single task they possibly can, but that is not sustainable (or practical!). We've all been there- taking on those tasks that we're just not cut out for thinking we'll save a buck. The thing is, they take us hours, maybe even days when that time could be focused on making money. Delegating that task to a dedicated professional, who will not only complete the task in a fraction of the time but will do it to the very best of their ability, gives you the opportunity to increase your revenue making (and saving) you money in the long run.

30/08/2022

Have you ever wanted a peak behind the curtain to see how other working moms are doing it?

Here is your chance! I am so excited to speak alongside 20 other working moms. We share the juicy details of how we do it all.

Don't be fooled, we are not your picture-perfect moms. These moms have struggled, changed diapers, and worked way too many late nights. We're figuring out - right along with you - what it takes to show up every day for our family and our business.

We’ve learned some tricks along the way that have transformed our lives, and we're ready to share it all with you in the Working Mom Series.

This FREE 7-day online event runs September 5-11. The other speakers and I are sharing with ambitious women like you over $3100 of resources, classes, 1:1s, and more so you can create calm in your life while reaching for your goals and creating the life you love.

Because you deserve it all! Grab your FREE ticket here: https://www.workingmomseries.com/REE ticket here: https://www.workingmomseries.com/

Over at , our marketing team gets a lot of questions about SEO and SEM, and oftentimes we see people assume they are the same, but that couldn't be any less true.

SEO, or search engine optimization, is the process of getting traffic from free, organic, editorial, or natural search results in search engines. While SEO can take time and patience and is essentially free. SEM, or search engine marketing, is a digital marketing strategy used to increase the visibility of a website in search engine results pages.

Simply speaking- they're just two different but very effective ways of marketing.

Tell us- how do you utilize SEO and SEM in your business?

This Thursday, we're throwing it back to episode 112, "Outsourcing is Self-Care for Entrepreneurs."

This is one of my most meaningful episodes from season one, where I talk about how outsourcing changed my life for the better and how offloading tasks not in my zone-of-genius allowed me to dedicate more time to the things I love.

Check out the episode here: https://apple.co/3QqSfkm

We see this question a lot at , and the short and easy answer is yes.

We live in a world where the power of social media is ever-growing. It has become an integral part of your business’ marketing strategy. Social media allows you to target, grow, and connect with your intended audience. It allows you to create engaging content, build brand awareness, generate new leads, and, perhaps most importantly, build brand authenticity.

Simply put- not only is social media worth it, social media is necessary.

Would you believe me if I told you that one of my favorite things about this podcast is sharing my failures?

It's true!

I love sharing every experience with my listeners- my highest of highs and my lowest of lows, my Academy Award worthy wins, and my failures. I strive to be the resource I needed when I founded . I strive to help empower others, especially female CEOs, and I believe it's important to share every part of it. But there is so much power in those lows, so much to learn, and oftentimes, so much to gain.

It's important to find joy in the journey.

I love lists.

I love organization.

I love ordering my tasks, whether it's by size, importance, or urgency. And I love checking those tasks off my list - truly, it's one of the most satisfying feelings.

But that is only one amazing benefit of having a back office support team. It permits me to live my life while someone else is checking each and every task off my to do list.

I can be a wife and mother. I can be a CEO. I can be an actor. I can even take that girls trip! All while those tasks are checked off my list (I'm always extra thankful when those tasks I hate disappear!).

Tell me, what tasks do you need the most help with?

28/07/2022

The present of presence.

It's by far the best gift founding has ever given me. I can be present for my children- we can go to gymnastics on Tuesdays, strawberry picking on a random Thursday afternoon, or on a spur of the moment night out on a Friday. Check Off Your List has made every last piece of it possible, and for that I am eternally thankful. 🍓

Join us today as we revisit one of our favorite episodes from season one- "What to Look for in a Virtual Assistant." This was the episode that really started everything, and I’m so excited that this subject resonated with so many people. If you know me, you know how passionate I am about helping you find the best back office support for you and your business. This passion goes way beyond hiring a Virtual Assistant as you pinpoint what you need and find experts in all of those areas. Thankfully, this is exact what COYL does best.

Reclining, but slowly recovering.

That’s the most accurate way I can think to describe the last two weeks of my life. In the blink of an eye, 4 pregnancies and carrying toddlers caught up with me. A spasm in my rhomboid muscle left me with a pinched nerve shooting down my arm. This left me -for lack of a better term- flat on my back. 🥴

Meals. Church. Game night. Quality time with the kids. Meetings.... all spent reclined in bed, on the couch, or wherever I could get as close to comfy as my body would allow me.

But in this moment, I was once again reminded that it takes a village, and my village? Well it's pretty spectacular. We had friends bring meals, and we had friends show up to scrub the house from top to bottom. Fortunately for me, my team kept running efficiently.

I never had to worry about a thing, and I'm completely taken aback by it all. So, thank you, to every last person in my village. I am extremely blessed to have each and every one of you.

And with any luck, I'll be upright in no time!

I like to say the entrepreneurial spirit is in my blood, it is woven into every fiber of my being. I spent so many summers tucked behind the register of my parents store, watching my dad grow and nurture his own business. I think that's why starting felt so natural to me.

grew at a rapid pace, far beyond anything I could have dreamt. No aspect of my life was spared from this spirit and dedication, and I have my Dad to thank for my passion and drive.

Outsourcing allows me to focus on what matters while knowing work will get done by a trained and qualified professional. The peace of mind that follows that knowledge unleashed a passion, and I have made it my mission to share it with the world.

Because I know how outsourcing can change your life in the most wonderful ways.

Not too long ago, someone asked me how I knew was successful, that we had really "made it".

I didn't even have to think about it, because I already had the answer- it was the moment I realized my business didn't need me anymore. This thing I had built from the ground up...didn't need me. I could step away knowing that everything would not only get done but would be done to the very best of my team’s ability.

I could step away and be present for my husband and my children, I could pursue my passions, and I didn't have to worry.

Because my team had it all taken care of.

How do you define success?

Life gets so busy; between four kids, a business, a home, and a busy career, sometimes it’s hard to remember to take a minute to focus on myself.

But recharging is one of my favorite things to do.
Taking time to unwind, collect myself, breath, and focus.

Colin is essential to that process, and we’re always sure we make time to be together, whether it’s after the kids go to bed, a night out with friends, or a weekend away just the two of us.

Tell me, how do you make time to recharge?

01/07/2022

From the entire team here at Checking Off Your List with Rachel Luther, we wanted to thank you. The first half of season two has been a dream.

But I am choosing joy this summer.

My team and I are going to take a few months off (isn't outsourcing beautiful? 😉). My kids are growing up faster than I can make sense of, so I wanted to seize this opportunity. I can't get this time back, and every moment is precious.

But don't you worry, we'll be back this fall with even more amazing entrepreneurs. Keep your eyes peeled, we'll be back before you know it.

Outsourcing can be scary.
Outsourcing can be overwhelming.

But it doesn't have to be. Finding that dream team to accomplish those tasks that have been holding you down can be the best investment you'll ever make for your business.

I think it'll amaze you what you can accomplish when you create the team of your dreams with outsourcing.
