Have you ever had a boss that is passive-aggressive? Or one that spoke down to you or your colleagues? Maybe they know EVERYTHING about the business or industry you’re in and want to make sure that you do things THEIR way. We’ve all had experiences with other people that have made us feel a little icky or enraged, and on the contrary, we’ve worked with people who make us feel inspired and want to push ourselves to our highest potential. What are the differences between the two different scenarios?

Save Yourself
Scale your Biz
As we come into the colder temperatures and we make Google Flights our home page, we make a plan to get out of the cold. It’s nice to have a business that allows you to step away. One where your absence doesn’t mean that everything is coming to a halt. The wheels can keep turning and you can keep making money while enjoying your winter vacations.
Taking Risks
Winning People Over
We all want to win people over at one point or another. Whether it’s your 5 year old who you want to get dressed, or your spouse that you want to convince to have what you want for dinner. Or, maybe it’s a client that you’re trying to win over to work with you or go through your process your way. Here are my steps for winning people over.
Taking Criticism Like a Boss
Let’s talk about taking criticism. As business owners or as humans, we work through new situations and get new feedback from clients, friends, colleagues, your dog, whoever. It doesn’t always feel good. You come home from work, your dog pooped on the rug, that’s feedback, you were gone too long. I want you to be able to take it like a boss, learn from it, be better.
Selling with Integrity
Get Some Sleep
Let’s talk Sleep! I recently finished the book, “Why we Sleep” by Matthew Walker and I am more sleep obsessed than ever. I’m also hella nervous because 50% of people have trouble with sleep after having a concussion. After learning so much about how important it is, I’m desperate to make sure I’m doing everything I can to get a good night’s sleep! I’m also kind of pissed off. Learn why..
It Might be Broke
Finally getting back to writing since I broke my brain by getting a concussion and does it ever feel good to not feel so sick, dizzy and exhausted after everything I do! Still not 100% but I am back to running, slowly, and it’s just great to get out and play again. So, today’s blog is talking about if it might be broke, it’s okay to fix it.
Have Confidence
Having confidence can feel awkward, you don’t want to come across too showy and you don’t want anyone to find out your a fraud, but don’t we all feel like frauds at some point? It’s just our insecurities telling us we aren’t good enough, we don’t know enough, we aren’t enough. And that’s BS! A couple examples of my experience with having confidence recently.
Are you Listening?
Naturally, I am always watching people’s selling styles in hopes to learn something new and see what isn’t working for them so I don’t make the same mistakes. I had two memorable meetings with sales people last week and unfortunately, they didn’t impress. SOOOO, I wanted to share what I felt were their pitfalls so that we can all learn from them.
