You may be an independent business owner, but that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. In this post by guest blogger Grace Marshall, you’ll learn that team work and tiny efforts can yield huge results.

Question: How do you eat an elephant?

Answer: One bite at a time.

Building a business can be an inspiring, big dream, and it can also be daunting at times. The question “HOW do I do it?” crops up a lot. Often meaning, “How do I practically find the time to take action and get everything done when I have so much on my plate already?” Read the rest of this entry »

Work the Systems

In part one of this series we looked at a few ways to get a handle on the chaos that can come from living and working in too many directions.  We talked about delegating and deleting what you can from your to-do lists.

But some things that make our lives crazy-busy and stressful aren’t tasks we have to do. Sometimes, it is worry and self-imposed burdens that weigh us down. These emotional shoulds can make us feel busy and exhausted, even if we’re not being particularly productive. Read the rest of this entry »

Being a solopreneur can be exhilarating. You get to call the shots. You get to decide when and with whom you want to work. Perhaps best of all, when you want to take things in a new direction or change the way you work, there are no committee meetings or board members to block your path.

But being on your own can leave the door open for self-doubt and fear. Making changes can be scary—even if the changes are positive. Perhaps you can relate to one of the women you’ll meet in this series over the next few weeks. Sharon, the first in the series, is “crazy busy.” Marsha is desperate to find success. Kellie  has built a successful business, but she’s looking for something more. Each knows it’s time to make some changes and take her life in a new direction… it’s just a matter of figuring out which steps to take and having the courage to do so. Read the rest of this entry »

Do you give up too easily?

I like to think of myself as a pretty persistent person. But a couple of Sundays ago, my teenage son accused me of giving up too quickly.

It was one of those mornings when things weren’t going as usual. My younger son was sick, and my husband planned to stay home from church to take care of him. But I didn’t see any reason for my older son and I to stay home.

Now, it’s never easy to get a teenager out of bed. Heck, I don’t even like to get out of bed. But on Sundays we go to church. (Thank heavens there’s no more “early service.”)

Not surprisingly, when I knocked on my son’s door, there was  grunt, and a mumble I interpreted to mean “I don’t wanna get up.” Read the rest of this entry »

Today can make your month… and this month can make your year.

Here we are at the beginning of a new year with 350 days (+/-) stretching before us. The future holds unlimited possibilities and opportunities, right?

Well… no. The future doesn’t hold the possibilities, today does. Today could be the day that paves the way to fabulous success. Or, today could be the day that sets you up for a frustrating fall at the end of the month—when you need just one more person on your team, just $100 more in sales, just one more “yes.” Read the rest of this entry »

We’re already five days into the New Year!

Have you made progress on your goals? Do you know what your goals are?

If you’re not already crystal clear about what you want to achieve this year, take a few minutes now to think about your dreams and write them down. Then, create a goal poster or some other visual to help you stay focused on what you want.

I’m reading The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Gillebeau, and I came across this line today: Read the rest of this entry »
