πŸ‘‰ open for ideas


Probably my favorite thing ever is hanging with my friends dreaming up ideas for each other's businesses.
​
And now that it's officially spring (or peak pollen season as it's known in Richmond), long backyard sits and productive porch visits are back on the docket.
​
​Turns out when you're an entrepreneur, you tend to hang out with other entrepreneurs. ​
​
We just can't help ourselves from nerding out on how to refine systems, convert more buyers and generate more revenue.
​
And a recent backyard brainstorm inspired me to fully update and revise my digital ebook, The Minima Guide to Getting Paid Online.
​
There's nothing I love more than helping others figure out how they can get paid for their services and knowledge - especially now.

Let's just say I don't have the fondest memories.This trip my friend and I vowed to use our French as much as...

One of my secret obsessions?Fanatically clicking refresh whenever I'm selling something.I don't care if it's a $20 pair of shoes on poshmark or one of my digital products.That refresh dopamine hits better than chocolate. Especially on that last day as everyone waits to click buy. Last week my husband decided to auction off an antique car he no longer drives (and by antique, I mean circa 2001). I was anxious that it was a bad time to sell (I mean, who's buying old imports in this...

I never thought I'd be obsessed with guinea pigs, but well, here we are. In an effort to cheer up my nightly doomscrolling my husband sent me this reel and I'm officially hooked. Who knew it would be this brain soothing to watch animals nibble veggies for hours on end? Franky, I think the term guinea pig gets a bad rap - and I'm looking for a few to help me out. This week I've been speaking to groups all about getting more (quality) leads from repeatable activities - like connecting ManyChat...
