Ladies, why are we so DUMB about money? Yeah... I said it. We're kind of freaky and awkward about it. I've been wanting to have a show in regards to our issues about MONEY for awhile, but now that my co-host Jeff Stein is in the house, we can begin to unravel the big mystery about money itself...from the gender perspective. What is it about MONEY that Men can see, but Women can't? Men typically OVER value themselves while women UNDER value themselves. Until Recently. Women are REALLY trying to shift this paradigm by making their voices loud and clear when it comes to equal pay and gender equality--- but for so many, money issues are still intensely deep rooted. Therefore publicly … [Read more...]
OUTserving Your Competition When You Can’t OutSPEND Them
Choose your mentors strategically. If you are a SELF-STARTING, ACTION-ORIENTED small business owner, who is committed to taking your business to the next level--- you won't want to miss today's interview with Michelle Pippin. In one of our previous shows, we talked about my tribe of BBFs (Business Best Friends) with Leah Jantzen and Patty Lennon... who---ironically---had to take over the show last week as I drove my family "off the grid" to an out-of-state family funeral. ((Thank goodness for mom tribes and business besties... right???)) My tribe IS my support system... the gals who GET ME and accept me. In addition to my "tribe" I have 2 mentors---and these women serve a … [Read more...]

Wild Wealth comes from Wild Women
There are days where I am so overwhelmed with fierce joy, I wonder if I am living someone else’s life. You see, we cannot connect the dots going forward, but looking back… EVERYTHING BECOMES so clear. Imagine that we have always been traveling to be RIGHT HERE--- in this glorious moment in time. No matter how hard we work to create a road map--- it's always a shock when we ACTUALLY ARRIVE. Take a look around you...do you see how far you've come? I just had the great honor of speaking to a lovely group of (mostly) women entrepreneurs at the Shabby Lane Shop Small Business Conference in Nashville, TN …so very far away from home... and yet, so close. There were attendees who --I learned … [Read more...]
Wealth and Prosperity is for Those who are willing to Clean Toilets
Are you willing to do ANYTHING to build wealth and stability? Prove it. Back in college, I remember my professor of Acting 101 asked the small crowd of freshmen what they were willing to do to become "famous." The question wasn't meant to be rhetorical, but rather-- provocative. HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT? Because in the most competitive industry in the world...chances are... your competition wants it MORE. We were told that if you are not willing to do just ANYTHING, crazy or not... QUIT NOW and find another college major, another dream, a more "simple" paycheck, and an easier way of life. The good life wasn't meant for YOU. It was reserved for the people who were willing to do what … [Read more...]
