I mainly support entrepreneurs and executives with my business. They range from executives at large companies to single business owners with a driving passion for their own business. Occasionally, I have helped them with personal tasks as well, but most of the time we focus primarily on their business. That all changed recently when I […]
I’ve never considered myself as an entrepreneur. Nope. That’s not me. Entrepreneurs are people who have some kind of new idea and work from the ground up to make their idea a reality and it changes the world. I think of companies like Facebook, Netflix, and Uber that have transformed the way we live and […]
I’m not on Facebook. I don’t have a personal account and I don’t have a business account. I used to have Facebook. In fact, I’m one of those people who were the very first to get Facebook back when you had to have a college email address in order to join (am I showing my […]
I have received a complete range of questions when people are interviewing me to see if we would be a good fit together. They range from broad questions about my past experience to very detailed questions on hypothetical scenarios that happen within their business.

I am officially in the countdown to have my first baby. I’m due in less than two weeks and while I’m excited, I’m also nervous about how my business will function without me. How do you take something like maternity leave when you run your own business? When do you alert clients? Do you try […]
The one who pays me on time is good. The one who is late on payment or doesn’t pay at all is bad. Just kidding. Kind of. That’s an obvious answer but thankfully, I’ve have not struggled too much with payment issues. There has been a random issue here or there, but overall, all my […]
In my last post, I wrote about if blogging is necessary for your business as it seems to be a fading part of marketing. I do strongly believe it’s a useful tool for service based businesses and if done right, can help you stand apart from your competitors. That’s all fine and dandy, but the […]
Blogging has evolved a lot over the past 5 years. What started as something for people to do in their personal time to show they were experts in their subject turned into something that every business had.
