The pandemic taught us so much!

One of the loudest messages I received (and felt) was that being in community is so important to mental health, growth and joy.

Having people you can talk with, cry with, complain to and celebrate with is so helpful.

In entrepreneurship it is the same.

The one thing all businesses have in common is that they are run by humans (at least today!)

So I encourage all entrepreneurs to find your community.

You do not need to do this alone. In fact it’s so much easier, faster and better with a community to support you in the challenges and celebrate with you in the successes!

Wherever you are in your entrepreneurial journey, I encourage you to find your community and rise together!

I met this amazing woman from the UK when I spoke about my book, The Entrepreneur Advantage at .

Poppy reached out to me following that event upon her return to the UK.

I now hold on my hands a book she illustrated (.art) and it has a coveted spot in my children’s book collection.

Amazing the connections we make when we step out and share our voice.

Looking forward to seeing what this budding graphic artist continues to do with all of her talent!

Got to attend an education session for mentor and mentees with an entrepreneur I’m mentoring.

It’s great when there is support for people supporting entrepreneurs!

Thanks and for this event.

Every day can’t be like this.

But I live for the ones that are!

Happy National Book Lovers Day!

Do you have a favorite summer read?

In honor of a big shoutout to these two who are my foundation.

Without their love and support I wouldn’t attempt half the crazy ideas I do.

Their belief in me is rooted in the acknowledgement of all we have come through together.

We know that together we can do-or survive everything life has for us.

If you don’t have this circle at birth, know you have the ability to create your sister club and you will all be happier for it!

In celebration of my sisters and yours!

Which comes first?

For entrepreneurs that is a question they often struggle with.

Hire staff before you get customers or once you have the revenue to support them?

There is never one answer that works for everyone.

Each situation does have an order that will work best if you assess it properly.

How do you deal with cash and time flow?

Do you hire the people before the money comes in or wait until the customers come to hire help?

I’d like to hear your thoughts 👇🏼

Building a new community in Boston!

There’s a new BBC in the world!

For those in or interested in the beauty or fashion scene in Boston there is a space being made just for you!

There are so many things that are not being addressed by standard small business communities that you deserve!

I’m building this community for you and I’m hoping you will come!

If you’re in the industry and want to get in on the ground floor as we develop and grow this community, join us on and join the meetup group in their bio.

First online meeting is Monday, July 25.

Raising the water level!

Part of my role as a business coach is to see where my network intersects.

I spend much of my time connecting entrepreneurs with others who I believe can help them further their goals.

I live by the premise that a rising tide lift all boats in the harbor.

I’m happy to add value in this way.

This is one of those things I cannot not do!

What is your thing?

It’s hard to stay motivated in the summer!

There are so many additional distractions!

The thing is, motivation does not precede action; action builds momentum which creates motivation!

If you can focus on enough little steps to get the ball rolling, you can create the momentum that drives motivation.

Being an entrepreneur requires the discipline to keep doing the steps you need long enough to make your mark.

You’ve got this!

Good Monday morning sunshine!!

Clearly I’ve been caffeinated.

Re-connect; Re-emerge; Re-imagine

Hey, entrepreneur!
It’s the weekend - take some time to do these things.

Monday will look full of even more possibilities if you do!

I like shopping as much as anyone!

On this I would like to encourage you to shop instead.

I know some small businesses sell through Amazon, they benefit more by you buying directly from them!

So today, before you -click, I would ask you to think about if there is a small business you might support through a direct sale instead so more of the money spent goes to them and not an Amazon stockholder.

Just a thought…
Happy shopping! 🛍

We process so much information every day!

If you’ve been around me for any length of time you know I’m a big proponent of taking the beginning of each day for you.

Don’t roll over shut your alarm and dive into what happened over night. It will not change for one hour.

Take time to process all you have in your mind upon waking. Run through a list of gratitude. Pray if that’s your thing, meditate, journal. Take time to be with your thoughts and priorities before the world tells you what you “should” focus on.

Your first conscious moments of the day is the best time to be with you and maybe your partner, children or furry ones.

We have so much information we are trying to digest every day. It’s easy to ignore our own thoughts and needs.

I had the opportunity to hear speak about How to Human and he reminded me how critical it was to manage the flow of incoming information.

As we begin this week, I encourage you to try for one week to delay getting into information for even 15 minutes after you wake up. Do something first to record or process your own thoughts.

After one week, you might find a small benefit and add another 15!

Let me know how this works for you if you try it.

What is the thing you cannot NOT do?

This was a questioned first posed to me by Scott Dinsmore.

Spend any amount of time with me and I’ll ask you the same.

For me it’s gathering like-minded people around a topic and creating a space for community to develop.

I have done this in many different countries and just can’t help myself! I love people!

What is the thing you cannot NOT do?

I love the energy around entrepreneurship.

Putting your energy into bringing something into the world that is your own creation or unique version.

Nowhere is this energy more palpable than when I speak with young entrepreneurs. There is a boldness to their passion and an acceptance that if “this” doesn’t work, I’ll try something else.

That small acceptance that they may fail while also having the bold desire to try is what allows them to dream bigger and be innovative.

I implore you to encourage that spirit where you see it and adopt it for yourself.

Just see where the path may lead you, I guarantee it will be worth the effort!

Every year I seek out a few conferences for my own continued growth.

At this last one, , I had the opportunity to hear Tiago Forte speak.

He shared his practice to organize notes to match how you are going to use them is brilliant!

I always took notes like I was still in school and would organize them by subject or what source they came from.

Then when I would gather notes from different sources for a project like a book or a talk I would have to remember where they came from.

My notes are going to be more useful now that I have this framework.

A rising tide lifts all boats in the harbor!

Thank you and for hosting my last talk & book signing.

Grateful to for partnering with me and for capturing the whole event!

Find others in periphery businesses that you can collaborate with and everybody wins!

I encourage you to think about your clients and what other businesses, services and products would be helpful for them. Reach out and put together events or packages that will add value to everyone involved and you will not only rise together but also have people to celebrate with along the journey!

Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be so lonely.
