Life First Business Strategy for Entrepreneurs Hey Reader, Can I tell you something I do not talk about enough? My very first course was called the Crush the Rush Playbook. It was a productivity program. I poured everything into it. I was so sure it was the thing that was going to change my life. Four people joined at $197. Pretty sure a couple of them got a discount. It was not a life changer. Not even close. But here is the thing. That launch taught me something I could not have learned any...

Life First Business Strategy for Entrepreneurs Hey Reader, Can I introduce you to someone? Kate Kordsmeier and I met in a mastermind a while back and have been in each other's orbit ever since.

We do essentially the same thing. We both help women build profitable businesses without burning out, without relying on...

Life First Business Strategy for Entrepreneurs Hey Reader, By the time you read this, I am already gone. This email was written, scheduled, and queued up before we ever left the driveway.

This is what a life-first business actually looks...

Life First Business Strategy for Entrepreneurs Hey Reader, Can I be honest with you for a second? March has not gone according to plan. It started with Covid. Ten days of it. (Just me, or does it feel like 2020 never fully got the memo that it was supposed to end?) I was in bed, sipping my Starbucks medicine ball tea, watching my inbox fill up, and doing approximately nothing I had planned. Then, just when I thought I was back, we lost power for three days. Zero wifi. Zero schedule. A lot of...
