View in browser Hi Reader When I started getting professional guidance and began taking myself — and my business — seriously, that’s when I saw a big shift in my success. I grew and sold four companies. And with every single one, I grew alongside it: I got more guidance. I invested in better support. I stopped treating my business like it was “no big deal.” Honestly, maybe I should flip it: I stopped treating myself like I was “no big deal.” Because winging it can only get you so far. (Trust...

View in browser Hi Reader So two weeks ago, I went on a little adventure. (Okay, maybe a big one 😏) We took a week-long skipper sailing course in Desolation Sound on Vancouver Island — and it was absolutely stunning. In preparation, I got professional advice. About the right gear About how to prepare for the exams Even practical tips like which ferries to take and where to stay before embarking It was obvious: If you want to succeed — and enjoy the journey — you ask for guidance. So why, for...

View in browser Hi Reader Moving to another country means facing a lot of new rules, habits, and ways of doing things — and let me tell you, it can feel very overwhelming. At first, I thought: I’ll figure it all out myself. But you know what? There are a lot of people who can help you out. It’s just a matter of asking for help — and letting go of that stubborn “I can do it on my own” mindset. It’s okay to ask for help, yep, it really is! It saves you time, energy, and — let’s be honest — much...

View in browser Hi Reader I’ve been meaning to send you this newsletter for the past few weeks. Every day, it was right there — top of my to-do list. And every day…the box stayed unchecked 😤 At one point, I even thought: Maybe I’ll just quietly disappear for a bit… because getting back into the groove felt harder than I expected. But the thing is — I like connecting with you. I love reading your replies. I believe in the work I do. So why was it so hard to get going again? Here’s what I...

View in browser Hi Reader March in the Visionary Women program was all about decluttering. Not just your drawers or your desktop (though those count too), but simplifying your business — your systems, your subscriptions, your thoughts. And let me tell you, I’ve been practicing what I preach. Over the past few weeks, I’ve: 📩 Unsubscribed from over 40 newsletters that no longer resonate 🛑 Cancelled subscriptions and plans that didn’t have a strong ROI 🤔 Reviewed my credit cards and insurances...

View in browser Hi Reader Last week, I received the results of my latest personality test. This one was the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI). It was a pleasant confirmation that I scored high on being an inspirational leader and that I excel in helping others develop. I suppose that COACH is still very applicable to me 😊 I’ve taken many personality tests over the years. I still remember my first one at 14, when I wrote the results down on a cool little card like it was my personal...

View in browser Yesterday, we were planning a day trip to the mainland. BC Ferries is the only option for car ferries, and I found a great deal—just $86 one way. But then... I got distracted. Just 15 minutes later, when I was finally ready to book, the price had jumped to $120. A 39.53% increase in the blink of an eye! A missed opportunity—and an expensive one as well! It made me think. How often do we say, "I'll do it next time" only to realize that next time costs us far more than we...
