What’s In This Episode:

What’s the best way to tell your story?

The Stephen Colbert Saga Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

What’s In This Episode:

Listen, Stephen. I know you’re reading this. After 11 years of waving the proverbial flag and sending up technological smoke signals to have you invite me onto The Colbert Report and The Late Show, it’s time that you give this mom entrepreneur a chance.

We could make history together. Of what kind, I’m not entirely sure. But it would be relatable history, not Napoleonic or Idi Aminish in any way. Have a good, hard listen. Maybe you’ll come to your senses and invite me on. With Evie’s approval, of course.

The Personal Touch Headache Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

What’s In This Episode:

No one likes do to one-on-one outreach. It takes up too much time. People don't respond. And yet, it can be a real boon to your business.

We work hard to find ways around the tedious tasks that we have to do. Small business owners enjoy finding other folks to do the grunt work for them. But if feeling like the big boss is more important to you than meaningfully connecting with potential customers and clients that can make you more money, then what does “doing business” really mean to you?

What’s In This Episode:

Why don’t we credit the people that help us get to where we are today? Why does going it alone make for a better story?

It’s easy to leave out the folks that lift you up. Entrepreneurs like to look good by making it sound as if they succeeded allllll by themselves. But it’s not true.

The Age Paradox Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

What’s In This Episode:

Why does age matter so much when it comes to making decisions for our businesses?

We let judgment about age impact our business decisions an awful lot. Entrepreneurs often think they’re too young or too old to do business the right way and judge others about it as well. Ageism is real. Does it show up in your work?
