How I Made The Leap From Corporate Employee To Full-Time Coach
I hope you’re having a great summer! Last week I led a fun virtual workshop for a group of young architects, many who aspire to work for themselves. My friend Michael Riscica was hosting a virtual summer event for his community after canceling his live conference due to COVID-19. I have deep respect for Michael because I’ve watched him work really hard […]
Giving Up Busyness (again): What a Global Pandemic Taught Me About Slowing Down
You ever feel like you’re too busy to slow down? I feel like that a lot. Like earlier this year when I was filling every spare moment in my calendar with something “important.” Funny thing about claiming busyness as an entrepreneur. We get to wear it as a badge of honor.

How I Started and Built a Rewarding and Profitable Coaching Business
The one question I regularly get asked from clients, colleagues, and friends is: “How did you build your coaching business to where it is today?” I’ve been a full time coach for almost 7 years now and here is my unfiltered story of how I did it and how I am still doing it.

Why I Said “No” To a 5-Figure Coaching Client
Earlier this month an entrepreneur was referred to me and we had an amazing conversation where she asked me to coach her. Awww so flattering (seriously it was flattering) because I love serving entrepreneurs and I LOVED her business. But here was the thing… errr …things…. #1: She wasn’t my perfect client.

Reflections on a Challenging Year and Trusting the Entrepreneur Within
As 2018 comes to a close, I’m reflecting on what’s gone well and not so well. One of the things that feels like a win, but also feels a little flat, is crossing the five year mark as an independent business owner. Is it really a win if my 5th year in biz felt a little out of sorts? And by “a little […]
