Contrary to very popular opinion and belief (and the words of countless so-called business coaches) your business can be tiny and still be perfect.

Sorry for the delay. No excuse. Just going to share some personal life as a dog mom.

This weeks topics: Did I make the right decision? Yes.. yes,I did. New clients. Rattlesnake bites.

A lot of hard decisions this week. Actually, just one decision based on a great deal of difficult thinking.

Lots of moving parts when starting a business.

Have you ever asked a question several times in several different ways and still ... the answer is really a non-answer? Welcome to US Bank.

I've decided I have too many domains to be able to focus on and enjoy any of them as a project. So, I'm selling all but 6.

So, a couple moths ago, the owner/founder and I discussed being able to sell directly to customers. And he connected with a guy who builds sites professionally… for a living and he gave us an initial quote and timeframe. That quote was several thousand dollars… which I expected… but the timeframe was just too far out.

So with that in mind, I sent him a message that said we would be need to be ok with conflict. That we would need to accept that either one of us could go off and that didn’t mean someone was fired or quit.

I’m sharing this with you as maybe some motivation, but really it is a reminder for me that I’m on my right path and to keep going.

Honestly, I think I wasted a month or more trying to help people who refuse to acknowledge they are driving slowly… or sometimes quickly, off a cliff. They are too busy chatting with the others in the car and convincing themselves that that cliff is not really there. That the rest of us are lying to them. A month.

Lots of people were employed by other people and when they had to either shut their doors completely or figure out how to stay in business without al their employees coming in, some of them had to cut a bunch of employees permanently.

The goal is to be happy... and a stay at home dog mom. That's doesn't necessarily mean you have to start your own business.

You've been invited to a webinar. Sounded incredible! Just what you need! And now they are selling you a course for just $2000. Don't do it!

Take a moment to figure out what your goal is. What is your why? And from there you can determine the best path.

After months of trying to convince myself I didn't need a job... I realized I did and took one. Here is some advice for you, if you find yourself in similar circumstances.

There are benefits to deleting Facebook friends, if you have a bunch. But you also need to be careful that Facebook doesn't get mad.

While I don’t want to discredit affiliates… it is an easy system to game. And this particular group of people, shall we say, is now on my radar. I’m naturally, immediately, suspicious of the … veracity… of these individuals.

Ep 4. You VERY likely do not need, nor will you benefit from ANY course when you first get started.

Ep 3. We are all constantly being bombarded with content and advertisements in our social media feeds to prod us to action that may not be in our best interest, although it is certainly purported to be. Let's take an honest look at just a couple.
