I have something to confess Reader. In the past, I might have created something (or a couple of things 😬) to throw away then all the hard work I had put into it. Because I didn't get the results I had envisioned 🫣 And I know I'm not alone! Running a business can be an exhilarating journey, filled with the excitement of launching new products or services. However, we often find ourselves disappointed when our efforts don’t get the results we had in mind. It’s tempting to throw everything out and start over, but I’ve learned that this is not the best approach! You can thank me later for making the mistakes so you don't have to 😆 In my latest blog post, “Stop Throwing Away Your Hard Work, Recalibrate instead!” I share a personal story that mirrors our entrepreneurial struggles. Earlier this year, I committed to a weekly jog/walk routine. Despite some setbacks, I learned to reflect and adjust rather than give up. If I only would have used this strategy earlier in my business as well 🙄 I'm however a quick learner! When I created an in-person group coaching program that I was passionate about, I launched it twice with zero enrollments. Instead of giving up, I reflected and fine-tuned my approach. I changed the title, reviewed my copy, and revamped the promotion strategy. Now, I'm thrilled to say that I'm running this program in person with 10 powerful women! Women entrepreneurs often fall into the trap of self-sabotage due to perfectionism, fear of judgment, imposter syndrome, and lack of support. Recognizing these tendencies is the first step towards overcoming them. By reflecting on our experiences, fine-tuning our approaches, and giving ourselves permission to fail and try again, we can build resilience and achieve greater success.

Would love to hear your stories about putting in the hard work and throwing it all out to start again! Hit reply and tell me all about it! |

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...
