I hit a point in my business a few years back - in 2019 to be specific - where I was no longer needed in the day to day running of my business anymore. I had partnered with our licensed Certified OBM Trainers, who took over the sales & delivery of the Certified...
When folks start using your stuff without permission
Might sound funny to say - but folks taking and using your "stuff" may be a sign that it's time to start a certification or licensing program. I had this conversation with someone last week who shared that some of her past clients had started using her materials with...
A contrary view on business growth
"You mean I don't have to keep growing my business?" I just got off a call with an amazing business owner who reached out to me looking for support around what's next in her business. This is someone whose business is in the mid 6-figure range, she takes home half of...
It’s OK to be a personal brand
I posted something recently on Facebook looking for referrals for a good branding person. Someone who specializes in personal branding for online professionals. I received a comment on that post that said: "I don't believe in personal branding - if you make your brand...
When you don’t want to mess up what you’ve already created

Lessons from a surprisingly hard puzzle
This is my first time tackling a 2000 piece puzzle - and it’s intimidating! I’ve been on a puzzle kick lately - it’s my morning meditation and end of day unwind time. 1000 piece puzzles have been my jam and I’ve found a great groove doing them. I can get a 1000 piece...
