At the beginning of 2022, I had the opportunity to chat with one of our wonderful clients, Beth Fynbo with Busy Baby, LLC. She discussed a few things with me that are great reminders for this time of year. In just a few years, Beth has grown her business from an idea to a 7-figure […]
I’m attending a friend’s wedding this week, and it has me reflecting on ceremonies and all the opportunities that lay in the future of the bride and groom. I started thinking on everything that awaits them and the intentions that are shared during wedding vows. It hit me that most of our important life events […]
A couple weekends ago, I took advantage of a rainy Sunday to watch The Winning the Week Method Webinar by Demir Bentley. He talked about time management and productivity, something I focus on a lot in my life to help me stay focused on my work and my business. The webinar was a lot of […]
I recently reread a book that held a special place in my heart during the spring, called Love + Work by Marcus Buckingham.

While these qualities are an important piece of the hiring puzzle, finding candidates with the aptitudes and skills necessary is equally crucial. There are several fields, accounting roles especially, that […]
Over the last month, I’ve worked with two of my team members on reworking our hiring process. We have worked through the All In Intensive by The All In Company, founded by Danielle Mulvey who is also a fellow Profit First Professional Mastery Member. Her company takes the principles in one of Mike Michalowicz’s upcoming […]
When Mike Michalowicz, my friend and mentor, first discussed the idea of Clockwork with me, I won’t lie and tell you I wasn’t nervous. The idea of letting some things go and allowing other people to step in and handle them felt scary. I mean, as a business owner some things can only be done […]
