Business Transformation Retreat Was Amazing!

I just returned from a 3-day private beach house retreat with 10 other women, and the experience was truly amazing! The biggest thing I got out of leading it is that people don’t want “another program” – they really want to just have someone look at their business and help them strategize and make the [...]

When Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Don’t Have a Life

I’ve been fascinated by the idea of having a lifestyle business and being a lifestyle entrepreneur…until I started doing more research and finding out that many people put a different meaning into these words than I do. “Lifestyle entrepreneurs are people who go into business primarily for lifestyle reasons, as opposed to a desire for [...]
