Make the most of yourself

This quote actually begins with “Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.” I liked Golda Meir she was a straight shooter. She reminds me of the women in my family and myself. As an entrepreneur it’s important to learn to trust yourself. It’s alsoContinue reading “Make the most of yourself”

How to Create Alternative Domain Names

What do you do when the domain you want isn’t available? This happens a lot and not just to starter small businesses. For starter businesses, I’ve seen this roadblock stall out any progress or momentum but I’m here to share that it doesn’t have to. If the domain isn’t available it just requires some creativityContinue reading “How to Create Alternative Domain Names”

Need to Increase Productivity?

Kudos to Ixchel at VXXO Studio for continuing to invest in herself and her business goals! She came to me about feeling disorganized and all over the place. It was suggested that she purchase a journal or planner to carry with her everywhere (until I’m done developing a problem solving product.) VG: Where did youContinue reading “Need to Increase Productivity?”

You have a choice

I often tell my clients that more other than not, we do things we don’t like. Things like taking a bath, doing laundry, washing dishes and going to work on Monday. Despite our feelings we do it even though it’s recurring and only maintains a standard of living. Do you wonder why you can’t doContinue reading “You have a choice”

Push Through

I stand on the edge of the cliff daily — waiting. I know I’m not alone though. I see you standing there, you might not be as close to the edge as me but you are on the cliff with me. It’s a constant scene, us standing here as the sunsets and the sunrises. WhatContinue reading “Push Through”

Open The Door

My new kitchen is much smaller than my last one and even though I deliberately moved into a smaller space to force myself to downsize, it has been an emotional process to have to let go of things. I constantly have to remind myself of my WHY. My spices have been just sitting on myContinue reading “Open The Door”

Do the Work

I’m the queen of distraction through service. It’s easy to focus on building others up and ignore yourself. If ever there was a time to put time into self, it’s now. Seasons are master for a reason. It is not meant for us to manipulate and attempt to change to fit our personal agendas. LifeContinue reading “Do the Work”

My Field of Dreams

I’m been a bit low key on social media for a minute after my last event. It was a humbling event for me because it made me really ask myself “WTF are you doing?” Like seriously, I tend to have all these ideas and sometimes that makes unsure on which ones to pull the triggerContinue reading “My Field of Dreams”

New Year, Eternal Love

I’m officially a year older and while I don’t look much different, I feel a shift in my thoughts and energy. For the good. I took my annual week off to do whatever I wanted and did so with some incident but none worth mentioning. I spent some time visiting the state of Arkansas relaxingContinue reading “New Year, Eternal Love”

The Audacity

Social Media has a way of making cowards feel like a lion. People say things to strangers they wouldn’t dare say in their face. I also think following others and seeing them on your timeline breeds a sense of familiarity. Problem is unless you know people in real life, you don’t really know anything otherContinue reading “The Audacity”
