Who enjoys being put on hold when you call a business? Did anyone raise their hand? I didn’t think so. The fact is that many people thoroughly dislike being placed on hold when they are on the phone. I don’t blame them. It can feel like a waste of time when there are more important […]
Even though I work in the field of finance, I’m mostly a creative. This means I have the same struggles most creatives do when it comes managing multiple deadlines and their work. These struggles include a lack of creativity at times, no motivation or preferring to work on our own projects than a client project. […]
After avoiding it for as long as I could, I finally upgraded my phone. You see, my business is to a point where I need several apps to help me run it. In my case, it’s mostly social media apps because I’m a blogger. However, there are also plenty of productivity apps I use to […]
As a business owner, you run into one of two issues. The first is procrastinating because you think you have more time than you actually do. The second is thinking projects will take less time than they actually do. The struggle is real, which is why business owners need to learn how to allow enough […]

I already barely take meetings for clients (unless it’s business coaching), so it only makes sense to move this over for my internal team. Granted, I still have meetings. I have meetings with my agent and my PR people. […]
Hours and hours are wasted every week on unproductive meetings. And that’s time that could be spent on other important business initiatives to better move a company forward. Because it’s not only an employee’s time that’s wasted but an employer’s money too. According to research, $25 million of company money are lost every day on […]
