Welcome to Part 2 of the April blog/vlog series on growth and expansion. This week, I want to show you the Anatomy of a Great Website…a website that works because…well, websites are not like they used to be! Last week, I talked about when I started my business, and how I built my website from…
Growing A Business: My Journey into the Heart of Entrepreneurship
Welcome April! A new month means it’s time for a new theme. Leading into the year, the theme was all about the nature of human beings: families, our brains, decision-making, and where our passions and inspiration come from. February, I explored how we want to be heard and seen, which led into March, which was…
Setting Goals by Writing Your Own WHAT?!?!
Goal Setting In last week’s vlog, I wrote about mission statements. One of the things about a mission statement is it doesn’t include goals.

I loved school and did really well, in large part becuase I was the perfect candidate for the U.S.-based educational system: I was white, I was a girl,…
Publishing & Your Dripping Faucet
DIY, Hire an Expert, or Hybrid? Most of our personal and work projects aren’t rocket science, so we actually have a choice of how much we do ourselves or hire out.
