How to get Resources to Start a Business
Ahh… The feeling of scarcity/lack… A lot of people get hung up here, especially in the beginning because maybe you’re starting out with next to nothing (in your eyes). You don’t have two nickels to rub together (finances), you don’t really know anyone (connections), you aren’t sure which tools/apps/programs to utilize and how (we’ll discuss this one more in depth later, but I encourage you to check out my Facebook group where I am creating Guides – one of which is a free resource guide! When you sign up for my Newsletter below, I’ll automatically send you the link to join!), and you just feel overwhelmed and underprepared – sound…

How to get Motivated
The drive behind all human behavior. Seems a little presumptuous to assume all humans can be lumped into a box with this one, but once broken down you’ll see how it all can be linked back to just two major forces. Two forces that have the power to really make or break you. Understanding what they are, how they deeply affect us, why they affect us and what we can do about them is going to help us leverage them to our advantage to actually give us that Motivation that we desire, stop procrastinating and start making real and lasting change in our lives. The Twins What are these so-called…

Be Yourself | The Power of Uniqueness
There is much to be said about being yourself. From a young age we hear “Just be yourself, everyone else is taken” and similar adages. While they have a nice ring to them, and hold much truth, it can be hard to apply and ever harder to see why. We know that Success leaves clues, and reinventing the wheel isn’t the most effective plan of action when trying to accomplish big things, but how do we find a balance between the two? The comparison game is real and while we may start out looking for inspiration and all the right reasons, and – if we’re not careful – we may…

Can I Make Money Blogging as a Mom?
The day I decided to start a blog, I had no idea what I was in for. I honestly just decided that I wanted to record my thoughts, feelings and experiences for future reference. While I realized that I had some unique experiences and insights to share with others – I vastly underestimated the value of also sharing my skills and lessons learned with others, for many years actually. I think I took for granted the knowledge that I had, and didn’t realize how much value this could provide to others! For years, off and on, I had several “blogs”; Some free, some dot com, where I shared bits and…

Ways to Make Money as a Stay at Home Mom
There are so many ways to make money nowadays that it can seem overwhelming. 10-15 years ago, there were not nearly as many options to choose from, and you really had to know where to look. Thankfully, for you, I’ve taken a lot of the guesswork out of it and compiled a list of some of the best ways to earn an income from home. As you know, if you’ve been around here for some time, after our second child was born I had a burning desire (that has not left me since) to stay home with my kids. I fully intended on re-entering the workforce while pregnant, but once…

Following your Dreams when no one Believes in You
From a very young age, we are “socially aware”. We act, react & respond to those around us. We feed off of their energy, the words they say and the way they say them, body language, actions & so much more. Even a young toddler can recognize laughter in response to a silly thing they did, a scolding when a rule has been broken or encouragement for doing the right thing. As we grow, we begin to get self conscious about these things. We can say that we don’t care what other people think until we’re blue in the face, but the fact remains that all of us, to some…

Finding Your Way
We start out life with such hope, curiosity and wonder, not worrying about tomorrow or the troubles it will surely bring. As we grow older, we begin to see things differently. Worries rise up and take the place of hope, trouble steps in and overshadows the joy and we just get so darn busy with the hustle and bustle of life that we forget to how to live (and thrive) in it! Am I speaking to anyone here? Deciding to become the best version of yourself is going to require some hard work, and it won’t be without pain, surely. It’s going to require self discipline, sacrifice and dieing to…

Why I Gave Up Blogging and Came Back Again
Let me open by saying that I believe there are two main types of people in this world: Those who are determined to do what they set out to do, and push through until it’s done. Aaaaaand… Those who give up after a short time of not seeing (enough) results, and move on to the next thing. And then there’s me, I fit into neither category, or maybe I’m somewhere in the middle. I like to think it’s eccentricity. I do pretty much everything different than your average person. I go against the grain, I swim against the stream and I typically do opposite of whatever the norm is. Now, I’ve been…

So, you want to write (or do something else) but you just can’t find the time, eh? The dishes are piling up, your phone keeps ringing and the kids want to go watch bunnies hop through the field outside, right? Hey, I know. Been there. Done that. Still there.
