I’m in the process of onboarding a new business manager for my company. As you may recall, my former business manager and I parted ways earlier this year. It wasn’t anything personal, it’s just that both our businesses had changed and we outgrew each other. It happens. For the last few months, I haven’t had time to […]
I recently achieved a major goal I set for myself many years ago – to have a six-figure business by 30. I accomplished this without taking on debt and without using other people’s money. Although using other people’s money would be nice, it’s not a route I want because I want complete control of my […]

I recently announced to my email list that I’m quitting my podcast for now. Actually, I turned it into a teachable lesson where I explained how it’s okay to quit a project. I even encouraged my list to share some of the things they were quitting with me. To my surprise, many of them responded […]
After a couple of years going to a coworking space, I’ve decided to cancel my coworking space membership. This may come as a shock because I love my coworking space membership, but sometimes certain expenses no longer make sense. Although I’m going to miss having a coworking space membership, I know the time has come […]
Lately, I’ve been getting asked a lot about influencers. Specifically, people keep asking me how they themselves can become influencers. This is in wake of having done some campaigns for major brands and adding influencer work as a stream of income. In fact, I think I can safely say influencer work is the highest paying […]
I speak to many freelancers who tell me they don’t have any savings. Since I’ve been freelancing for many years and already know how freelance finances work, this boggles my mind.
