Each year on March 8th,  people celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and girls. International Women’s Day is a day to acknowledge women who blaze a path for others to follow. Be recognizing these women,...

A Year in Review – Yours.

A Year in Review – Yours.

in Cathy's Blog

Most entrepreneurs don’t review their past work. And frankly, they’re leaving money on the table. There’s a simple process every small business should follow to review the past year and plan the next. There’s so much to be gleaned from this process. While most of us would like to forget this past year, you can learn a great deal by looking at what...

LinkedIn: To Link or not to Link?

LinkedIn: To Link or not to Link?

in Cathy's Blog

With everything transitioning to online because of the pandemic, I’ve been inundated with LinkedIn requests. What about you? I receive LinkedIn connection requests all the time from people I don’t know. Most of them have seen me speak or attended one of my courses but I’ve never met them nor have we spoken. I figure they want to chat to see if a business...

No Show? Not Cool.

No Show? Not Cool.

in Cathy's Blog

Have you ever booked a meeting with someone and then had the nerve to be 20 minutes late or even worse, “no-show” them? What about having it happen to you? Bet you were royally cheesed. It’s always been a pet peeve of mine when people (including me) are late. Now I’m not perfect (as I fly into a meeting at mach 5 with my hair on...

2020 is NOT what we “goaled” for.

Mother Nature has definitely hit the reset button and our lives and businesses have defaulted back to factory settings. I’m sure you’re with me when I say that I never would have expected anything like this in my lifetime. This worldwide pandemic has affected us in ways none of us could ever imagine. I mean, who would have thought we would be entering...

They’re looking for YOU.

They’re looking for YOU.

in Cathy's Blog

They’re looking for you. Yes they are. Clients who need help and are searching for a talented, knowledgeable and amazing expert. They’ve hit a brick wall. They don’t know how to pivot. They need YOU! And what’s that I hear? You need them? No sh*t Sherlock! The economy has tanked, everything’s up in the air and quite frankly, unless you...

Is Your Cape Starting to Fray Around the Edges?

Is Your Cape Starting to Fray Around the Edges?

in Cathy's Blog

Why do we feel the need to be SuperWoman? As women, we are supposed to do it all – or so we think. Being successful means maintaining the demands of multiple roles: businesswoman, employee, breadwinner, daughter, sister, partner, homemaker, mother, chore and homework supervisor, family taxi driver, meal planner, or some combination of any of these and probably...

Cheers to the Unsubscribes!

in Cathy's Blog

I work at creating content that is relevant, resonates and gives value – like my Daily Espressos. There’s research and thought put into each piece before the ‘publish’ button is even clicked. So I remember when I became a featured writer for the Entrepreneurial Women’s Magazine fairly early in my blog writing career. After my first...

Goal Setting: Make it as Easy as 1-2-3

in Cathy's Blog

No matter where you are in the year, the best way to measure and ultimately achieve our desired success is to have goals and milestones. If you’re like me – optimistic (AKA over ambitious) you started the year with a huge list of BHAGs – Big Hairy Audacious Goals and then as the year progressed, they either fell by the wayside or more...

Forget about January,  September is the start of the New Year!

Forget about January, September is the start of the New Year!

in Cathy's Blog

Sure, January 1st may mark the beginning of the calendar new year, but for most of us, it’s more about the excitement of the parties and the continuation of the holiday season than an actual new beginning. If you think about it, there’s really not much “new” about that time of year. It’s the ‘middle’ of winter; it’s...
