Working for yourself comes with a lot of temptations, especially if you work from home. There’s tv, website after website, and even housework to put before your actual freelancing work. Plus, when you need to do all your own marketing, accounting and the actual work, it’s easy for your work day to get derailed. You’re […]
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 […]
I do a lot of consultations in my business. Most of the time, small business owners come to when they don’t know what their next business move is. In fact, “I don’t know what to do” is a sentence I hear a lot. In this age of social media, we also have shiny object syndrome. […]
I celebrated my first year business anniversary in January. Running an event company as well as a freelance writing business means I juggle a lot of responsibilities, and my first year was a 12 month long learning experience.

I recently saw a discussion in a Facebook group about reducing business expenses to save money. The admin of the group posted where she is cutting business expenses in 2018, and I just so happened to be cutting in the same areas. From that point, others started commenting as well. Don’t get me wrong, I […]
I am often being asked about how to get media attention for businesses. People tend to think that getting media attention is hard. It’s not, really. The problem is business owners don’t know how to set themselves up for attracting media attention. While there are several things that can help you get in media, today […]
I attend several events around the city for bloggers and influencers. To be honest, it’s a bit surreal to me. When I started blogging almost eight years ago, no one knew there was money in it. Now that the general population knows they can earn income blogging, they all want in. The problem is they […]
While always having a business mentor has helped me create an online business, I will actually not be seeking one this year. This may come as a shocker, but there’s actually a very good reason for it. Are you falling into this trap? As a business owner and a business mentor in my own right, […]
