Not to toot my own horn, but several people have asked me how I “do it all.” Mind you, many of the people who ask me this have kids (I don’t) so perhaps they’re comparing their lives to mine. There is no humanly possible way I could work four 12+ hour days per week if I had humans to keep alive. Yes, I keep an insane schedule and yes, I…
I genuinely love the life I created for myself and thrive when things are a little nuts. In fact, in my book, nothing is worse than being slightly bored and not having passion for what I’m up to. This past spring, my professional world was turned upside down. I can’t go in to detail, but know that it took an emotional toll on me for a long time. My sense…
If you know me, you know that gift giving is definitely my “giving” Love Language. I don’t love receiving gifts as much as I love giving them, mainly because I hate clutter but that’s neither here nor there. When I first started at my company, I became the designated elf of sorts around the holidays. We were a very fledgling company and anyone who took a chance on us was…
Perhaps the top question I get is, “how do you do it all?” I’ll admit it; I keep what would be an insane schedule for most people, but I love every second of it. Most people know that I have some ambitious goals in life and one way to reach them is to work a LOT while I’m able. I know life chapters will change and I want to make…
I remember seeing a post on my alumni association’s Facebook of a high school classmate of mine. She was having a hard time finding a job and blamed it on her college major. When she posted this, we were a few years in to our THIRTIES. I had lost touch with her and didn’t feel like it was my place to tell her that her viewpoint was warped AF, but…
If you’ve experienced the lovely debacle of getting canned, you know it’s a MAJOR blow to the ego. I told precisely no one about it when it happened. Not my parents. Not my roommates. No one. “I quit,” I told them, which wasn’t a total lie. It was a mutual decision. But I’m getting ahead of myself. I got a job teaching second grade when I was 22 and fresh…
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. I LOVE helping people launch their businesses. There’s nothing more satisfying than encouraging someone to start side hustling and seeing it take off. If you haven’t read You Are a Badass At Making Money, I highly recommend that you do. Author Jen Sincero basically says that YOU are in charge of your own income and YOU can make it what you…
Today I’m starting a new blog category called Entrepreneur Life. A blogger I follow was talking about imposter syndrome and I realized I’m the WORST with this. From watching her stories, I realized I too have some serious imposter syndrome and just need to own one important fact–I am an entrepreneur and you just may be one too. Every quarter, my colleagues and I read some kind of professional development…
