Hi Reader, But the follow-up email caught my eye: I thought, Yes! That’s exactly what I need. 📹 16 video lessons. My immediate reaction? I don’t have time for this. Now, I get it. Good strategy takes time and energy. And this course was only $100 — a small price compared to hiring an agency. But I’m in that awkward middle: So despite being intrigued… I said No. Was I the wrong client? Or was it the wrong delivery? Maybe I’m not who he’s trying to attract. But… If he did that, I would be interested again. It reminded me of something I often coach on: 💡 If your ideal clients aren’t buying, it might not be your promise that needs fixing — it might be the way you’re delivering it.

Here's what I've learned about easing back into work mode: Brain dump during the week before your break. Get everything out of...
Hello Reader, If you’ve been feeling off-track or unsure about what you truly want, you're not alone. During a recent strategy session with one of my marketing clients, they shared how frustrated they felt about the direction of their business. “It just feels like I’m working to pay other people. I don't want to do this anymore.”I asked them the “magic question” and we aligned their target market, messaging, and marketing plan to who they really wanted to work with. In Episode 13 of the...
Hey Reader,It’s June. That strange halfway point between everything we thought we’d do and everything still possible. The past 7 years have thrown me for a loop. Between a surprise pregnancy, a global pandemic, caretaking our beautifully neurodivergent child, and fascism in our country… There have been many days when I couldn’t see beyond the next 10 minutes, let alone visualize the next 10 years. But today, I’m giving myself permission to dream again. One of my favorite grounding practices...
