the girl eats a lot of cheese


The little green owl lied to me.

Turns out my 60 day mini Duolingo streak didn't exactly revive my command of the French language during my last hurrah trip to Paris this week.

The last time I really spoke (passably bad) French was during my semester abroad in Luxembourg.

Sounds fun, but my host family padlocked the fridge and relegated me to the sketchy bathroom in their dank basement. 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 possible.

But really, how often am I going to use the phrase "the girl eats a lot of cheese?"

My friend was vegan. I could've used a few more relevant expressions in my back pocket.


Same thing goes when you're looking to build relationships.

Knowing exactly what to say (and how to say it) could make all the difference when you're trying to get someone to say yes.

My friend Selena Soo has spent years mastering the art of relationship-building and to celebrate the launch of her new book, Rich Relationships,* she's giving away her best scripts.

Download these essential done-for you scripts* and use them in text, emails and conversations to smartly:

  1. Introduce yourself and explain what you do.
  2. Contact a busy, influential person and get a response.
  3. Invite someone to work with you and inspire them to say, “Yes!”
  4. Politely say “no” to a request while keeping the relationship intact.
  5. Cancel or back out of a commitment gracefully.
  6. Request a testimonial or endorsement.
  7. Invite someone to be an affiliate partner and promote your work to their audience.
  8. ....and over a dozen more to help you build relationships

Selena shows you what to say, how to say it, and explains the psychology behind the wording so you understand why each script works.

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...

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...

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...
