2023 Humbled Me
December 06, 2023 16:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MB2023 did not go as planned– to a comical degree. To be honest, I’m still processing it. I’d love to say that I have some big, grand lesson to share, but I’m not sure I’m at the end of this chapter yet (though I sense I am). I don’t mean to be cryptic, and I promise to share more details, but the shift I have experienced is hard to describe.

Ep 64 Best of YFB: Anti Planning
December 29, 2021 14:00 - 23 minutes - 17.2 MBGoal setting is a hot topic this time of year! I love planning and it has been a part of my business for the last 10 years. But traditional planning methods frustrate me. There is a lot I hate about the goal setting we're "supposed" to do in our businesses. Setting giant, wild (and sometimes unrealistic) goals is an exciting exercise for our brains. I call these Unicorn Goals; I love visualizing what it looks like to smash these insane goals. However, I use Unicorn Goals to fuel my creativi...

Ep 61 Best of YFB: How to Price Your Services
December 08, 2021 14:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBMany entrepreneurs and business owners DO NOT price their services in a way that benefits them or their clients.
