"If you want to be successful you have to focus on offering just one thing" I can't do just one thing. I'm simply not wired that way. I've tried... oh how I've tried to do just one thing! But every time I try to put myself in a box - to find my "one thing" and focus...
If you struggle with asking for help, you are going to struggle with your team.
Believe me I get it - I'm the queen of self sufficiency. Of thinking that I 'should' be able to take care of everything on my own. When folks ask me how they can help my default response is almost always a variation of: "I'm good. Everything is fine. I'm OK. I've got...

Most everyone I've been talking with lately has seen this trend occurring - especially in our online marketplace. What used to work for sales is not working the same way as it was a year ago... or even a few months ago. Put simply, buying habits are changing for a lot...
We need you – just as you are
Don't let anyone try to tell you that your calling is too small. That it should be some grandiose, "I want to be the next Oprah" kind of calling. That you should want to build an empire and make millions. That you should become "more like this person" and less like...
A loving reminder when things are moving slower than you would like
