Where did February go Reader? I swear I sat down just a day or two ago to start writing, and here it is, less than a week from the end of the month. Funny how that happens. This month has been packed full of foundation-building and groundwork-laying. As I mentioned in my annual review, I've got some big moves I want to make, and that means preparing the way. Next week, I'm headed to Chicago to work with the uh-MAZE-ing Rachael Kay Albers (aka RKA) on some strategic planning and brand development, as we shift everything from the "Star Power" branding to the new direction I'm headed. But in order to get there, it's more than just buying a plane ticket and packing a bag. The work you do BEFORE an intensive is half the battle. I've put quite a few hours this month into doing the pre-work, and sitting down with RKA to map out what we're doing when I get to Chicago. And I got to use one of my own exercises on myself! When I sit down to help clients envision the future of their life and work, I do what I call the "magic paintbrush" exercise. It's an opportunity to reflect and drop all the "shoulds" and judgements, to just get clear on what you REALLY want. If you had a magic paintbrush and could redesign your business to look and feel exactly how you want it to right now — what would you change? What would you stop doing? Too many entrepreneurs build offers based on what’s trending… what’s selling… or what someone else says works. You know... "the way it's always been done before" in your industry. But if your offer doesn’t fit your energy, your expertise, and your values — it won’t sustain you. So I've been having a much deeper look at that in my own work. AND...that’s exactly what I’m talking about in my session at The Online Income Playbook Summit, hosted by Amanda Boggs. I haven't done a summit in a long time, and this spring, I'm speaking at TWO. This is the first. In my interview, I share: ✨ How to design an offer around you — not the algorithm Plus, Brendan Kane, an author who has also worked with celebrity clients (like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Charles Barkley, and others) will be sharing his insights on virality and growing your business quickly.

Happy SundayReader... I am slowly getting used to Jim working the weekends. When he accepted his new position, it meant working Saturday and Sunday.I try to have a schedule that mostly matches his, so now, my "weekend" is Monday and Tuesday. I still have a few trailing commitments on my calendar, but for the most part, our weekends are the same again.And since most of the rest of the world is OFF on Saturday and Sunday, it means I can really hunker down and FOCUS on those days... after I take...
Happy Thursday Reader... Firstly, I'm SUPER excited to announce that, my sister just launched her first-ever online business! I'd say it was her first business, but my sister and I had our first money-making side hustles when we were kids. To be clear, I have nothing to do with her site. I'm not her coach. She is totally doing this on her own and I was honored that she consented to letting me share it with you. She's a pretty private person (she doesn't do ANY social media!), so I'm really...
Hey there Reader... I'm sitting in my office, trying to hold onto a feeling for just a little bit longer. I just completed the final coaching call with a long-time client. I've known her for decades. She joined my email list back when I was working exclusively with direct sellers. She was one of the first people to step into my Incubator when it launched back in the day. She "graduated" into a regular consulting client a few years ago. She and I have watched each other pivot, shift, and...
