Business Coach for Women

The last long weekend of the year is upon us and many entrepreneurs are cheering as they reclaim time to focus on their business endeavors, even as they shed a few tears as their beautiful kiddos have returned to school.

With the Olympics the past couple of weeks, it was hard as a business coach for women not to see all to correlations between athletics and business. It was a recent conversation with a friend that occurred on the night of the Michael Phelps win in the 200 M Butterfly when Chad Le Close is captured looking at him and not the goal that this idea really hit home. And then reinforced when Katie Ledecky at just 19 won her gold by 11 seconds – I was profoundly struck by the image o

This past week I attended my 9th eWomenNetwork International Conference. It was a rich experience as always filled with many connections with familiar faces and friends, and met some amazing new women entrepreneurs. The main reason I attend each year is because of the chance to sit at the feet of some of the wisest men and women in business and hear their wisdom through my present place. We all know that we hear the message we need when we are ready to receive it. This year o

She is part cheerleader, part strategic advisor, part sober second thought, part bootie kicker, part accountability partner. She is tough and fair. Firm and compassionate. She is hopeful and doubtful. She is optimistic and pessimistic. It is her job. She coaches and counsels, questions and challenges. She dishes out tough love. And gives you a high five or a hug – depending on what you need. She thinks of her clients – all the time…..you really have no idea. She looks for opp

I want to set the record straight. I believe in the power of positive thinking. I believe in the law of attraction. I set intentions. I’ve been known to do vision boards or dream boards and fill them with beautiful, peaceful pictures of nature and symbols that resonate with me. Yes, this practical primarily left brained business coach who loves spreadsheets, cash flow and all things related to running a successful business sets an intention for the day (gratitude is today’s),

There is no overnight success or shortcut to get you to your goals. Sorry for the tough love here team – but I have to say – I am a little beyond fed up with all the headlines I see from success coaches hawking their offerings like carnival barkers with unrealistic promises for results. Here’s the news flash – whether it’s a best-selling book, or a sustainable, scalable six figure business it does NOT happen overnight. Please stop investing tens of thousands of dollars in pro

Have you ever started something that you thought would do one thing and quickly turned to another? That happened to me in September. I’d been looking to create some accountability in my writing as I continue to work on my book For The Love of Money and had recently landed a verified page on Facebook and was able to “unlock” the Mentions app that would let me do live, real time broadcasts right on my Facebook page. Thank you Mari Smith for introducing me to this little gem at

Just because you went into business for yourself, doesn’t mean you need to be in business by yourself.

Following are 3 ways you can get more support in your business: Accountability Partner – this is one person who holds you accountable to do what you say

It was 2008, I was having a crisis and I signed up to attend an event. As I shuffled along with the hundreds of others registered for enlightenment and inspiration, a feeling of anxiety crept into my chest, and thoughts began racing in my head. “Crap, they’re gonna find out that I am terrified and insecure, and don’t have my shit together like they think.” Keep in mind, in actuality, I was running a successful and profitable business, making decisions and executing on goals w

The problem isn’t the goal – the problem is the process of reaching the goal, the daily execution of the process and accountability. I’ve always thought that the world would be an intriguing place if as the meme says…a liar’s pants really caught on fire! I’m talking about the lies we tell ourselves. Entrepreneurs are notorious for this. Oh, don’t get me wrong, we’re not bad people – we just …ummm – let’s say over exaggerate how effective and efficient we are really being. Whe
