October’s Tip Tuesday posts will focus on how to S A V E contacts in a more stress-free, efficient way!

This As an entrepreneur, it's so easy to get wrapped up in all the things for your business-- but if you don't take the time to manage all the other facets of your life, it will all be out of alignment. Do the inner work. If you are running at your very best, that positivity and productivity will spill into every other area of your life!

Someone asked me, "How do I know if I am running efficiently?" Your business may be successful and your tasks may get completed... but does that mean you are being efficient? Not exactly. ... Here is 5 easy steps to do a self-audit of your efficiency: 1) Take out a blank paper and write every single thing you are doing that day as you do them. Nothing is too small to write down. Ex. 5 min answer email, 10 min incoming call client, 5 min scroll IG, 10 min calling leads, etc 2) Write out what your ideal day looks like Ex. 1 hour working on new sales idea, 2 hours calling potential clients, 2 hours working existing client work, 30 min employee connecting, etc. 3) Compare the two lists. Did you do the things you ideally wanted to be working on? 4) Go through and highlight your big "time suck" activities. Did you spend 2 hours on emails? 45 min on social media? 2 hours on random calls? 5) Go over those time suck items and ask yourself "Could someone else have done this instead of me?" If the answer is yes, you need to delegate or outsource. I know it's difficult to relinquish control, but it's essential in maximizing your efficiency and ensuring your precious time is spent working on the items that generate revenue and keep your business growing not just going.

TGIF Sometimes we just need a good cup of coffee and a whole lot of confidence. Remember: You got this! You know your business and you know what you bring to the table.

When people ask me what I do, I normally say that I'm a consultant, but not what you normally think of as a "consultant". Typically, a consultant is someone who points out where you have areas to grow, gives you specific advice on how to fix those areas and says we will touch base in X number of days. I believe that model is unrealistic. Most business owners know where their pain-points are, they just don't have the time or bandwidth to do anything about it. ... That is where I am different. I have a conversation with you and uncover those areas of opportunity. I share the ideas I have to fix those items, and tell you how long it will take ME to create these new systems, make the necessary changes and onboard you and your team to all be on the same page. I walk with you on this new journey and help create the new changes for you. I can help with everything from email management and training manual creation, to data entry clean up and organizing. Each business is different and your needs vary. Schedule a free initial call today to see how I can help meet you where you are at! See more

I love Dr. Brené Brown, and even as a sole-prop business owner this applies! Yes, you are technically the only person at the top of your business, but that does NOT mean you are the only one that can do *all the things*. Delegate, hire help, create your network of resources.

This year, sooooooo many people have had a rude awakening that what they **thought** their life would look like isn't what the reality was. Maybe you lost your "secure" job. Maybe you had to close your business. Maybe you had to throw out your original business plan and completely pivot. ... Just look at this example. What you might think is the worst thing and lost opportunity could be the launching pad to the greatest achievement of your life. Give yourself a few minute pity party and then brush yourself off and do something amazing! See more

Hey there! I have quite a few new followers so I figured now would be a great time to share five fun facts about me! 1) I was a micro-preemie and weighed only 2lbs 8oz! 2) Because of that, I was told that I could never have kids, as my body wouldn't be able to fully support another life - this week we celebrated my amazing and healthy son's 4th birthday!... 3) From the time I was 4 until 19 I wanted to be a Neurosurgeon. 4) I would rather re-watch a show I've seen 100x than watch a new show. My go-to is Gilmore Girls and The Office. I mean, come on, do you really need anything else?!? 5) I had to change high schools my Freshman year because I was allergic to the pesticide my school used in their grass and had to move to a cross town school that had no grass haha Tell me one fun fact about you!!
