We go into business for a reason. We are passionate about helping people solve a specific problem – committed to making their lives easier, or richer, or more fulfilling in some way. When we start out, we are driven by a mission to truly make a difference – while earning an income – in a way that is authentic and rewarding. And then, in so many cases, something happens. While we’re so busy hustling to sell our wares, get new... View Article
{This post is a guest submission by Jo Ebisujima (bio below). Just in time for a bit of Spring cleaning. STUFF BEGONE!} STUFF. We all have it and most of us have too much of it. Not only is there our personal stuff, but there is the partners’ and kids’ stuff too. Even pets have a collection of stuff! Why do we have so much stuff? Well there are many reasons.

In January, I shared with you that my word for 2014 is FLY. And I’ve been flying. But there was something I forgot about flying. Lemme explain. Check out this pic from our Femfessionals lunch yesterday. The room was filled with women entrepreneurs connecting, elevating, and inspiring one another.

Teana is one woman who is totally committed to thriving as an entrepreneur, and her story is hugely inspiring... View Article
“I’ll try,” she said. “You’ll try?” I said. “Yes, I’ll try,” she said. That’s when I stopped her. “You’re not working with me so you can ‘try’ to take action,” I said. “You’re working with me because you are committed to taking action, right?” “Right,” said my client, looking a bit confused. Here’s the thing. When you’re meeting a friend for a movie, you set a time to meet up, and then you show up at that time. When you’ve... View Article
My word for 2013 was COMMIT. And I did. I accomplished some big stuff in 2013. I have to consciously remind myself of that. Because, to be honest, there was a lot I wanted to accomplish that I didn’t. It wasn’t a lack of work ethic. Lack of ideas. Or lack of drive. It was fear. Fear of not getting it exactly how I wanted it. My word for 2014: FLY. I am setting a clear intention that when the... View Article
How long does a woman need to be out of the workforce to start feeling like she has nothing to offer in the professional world anymore? Does it take 8 years? 6 years? 3 years? One year? For me, the feeling set in at about one year out. I had unexpectedly resigned from my law firm while I was out maternity leave, and as we were coming up on my little man’s first birthday, I knew I was ready to... View Article
Let’s be honest. It’s virtually impossible to not experience some forms of worry, especially if you’re a parent.
