Given the current state of this world, Brides to Be are looking to planners to help guide them now more than ever. There are so many unique alternatives to spending thousands of dollars on weddings these days, and it starts with one of the most important pieces…. THE WEDDING DRESS!

With the new wedding trend of micro weddings soaring now into 2021 I have made it one of my missions to help guide those who are asking towards “gently-worn” wedding attire. This is a sustainable way to reuse and recycle something that literally only gets worn once for a few hours.Smaller celebrations in unique spaces are calling for alternative attire. I suggest a few keys places to my clients that are open to this option; of course, it is not for everyone.

First up is Rent the Runway where they offer a Celebrations section. You can find attire and accessories …

Being a virtual assistant was the best career choice I made 23 years ago. I spent 18 years as a virtual assistant after leaving my corporate job when I had my daughter, and in 2015 I opened a virtual staffing agency, Elite Virtual Assistants. I’ve seen it all (maybe not ALL, but a LOT), from both sides, and there are some dos and don’ts that will help you either find success as a VA, or help you realize it may not be the best choice for you.

Having the flexibility of scheduling my work around my life (instead of vice-versa) has been a life-saver for me over the years, especially while raising three kids. BUT, I quickly learned that trying to cram work into early mornings, nap times and evening hours wasn’t producing the greatest results as I tried to scale my client base. Being professional and building a business takes intention, planning and scheduling. Read more

Success doesn’t happen by chance.It is CREATED by CHOICE.

The choice to be courageous and SHOW UP for what you know is true;

The choice to TRUST that inner voice that is calling you inside to DREAM BIG;

The choice to CONSISTENTLY live from the Higher Self part of you;

The choice to STOP listening to your fears and old limiting stories and start CREATING with joy;

The choice to BE soul-confident even if you’re not always human-confident!Your thoughts do not just happen to you! >> you create them.Your emotional triggers do not just trigger you out of the blue >> you ALLOW them to get you!Your limiting stories are NOT the definitions of your Reality >> they are your PAST and you do not HAVE to make them your future!

You are a POWERFUL CREATOR. I just finished a call with a clien…

We all know that when you’re an entrepreneur, you have to wear a lot of hats.Finances, staff management, customer service, delivering the actual product… the list goes on.Arguably the most important hat however, is marketing… and one of the best ways to market your business is using content.

So why is content creation so often the thing that gets pushed back in favor of more “urgent” tasks?-Other things appear more important (“Well this month I can pay the sales reps or the accountant”)-Discomfort on video (“I’ll do it when I have a good hair day”)-Lack of clarity around strategy and topics (“Why are we doing this again?”)The fact is, The CMI’s content marketing statistics show 72% of B2B marketers and 76% of B2C marketers use video. Aberdeen Group says marketers who use video get 66% more leads per year.

So if video works — why aren’t we maki…

Do you ever have that coaching client that will talk and talk and talk and tell endless stories to where you are wondering in your mind “When will this madness end? When will you get to the point?!”

Maybe you started off the coaching session by asking: “What do you want to focus on today?” And that’s the last question you were able to get in before the 60 minutes were up.

This is something that I struggled with for years with some of my personal clients wondering why they were being so rude, not letting me actually coach them.

I also didn’t want to appear rude to them either.

So I would quietly sit on the other side of the computer screen and occasionally nod and mumble “Mmmmhmmm” and “Tell me more” hoping that they could read my mind that this session was going nowhere.

I was taught in my…

Uncertain times make people feel insecure. People feel unsure about which way to go. Different emotions like fear, manifestations of illness, and anger are manifestations of insecurity. The offense has proven to be the easiest way to express dissatisfaction. Not a strange occurrence: When you think that you have a mountain in front of you that you can't move, you may feel unstable. At a time when professionals are going through uncertain times, it's crucial to stay on track. When certainty is hard to find, it is a character that will give stability.

What is character? Your character determines your thoughts, your behavior, and how you respond to challenges. So it ultimately determines the quality of your life. A strong character does not mean that you are dominant. That is a tricky character. Unfortunately, those two are sometimes confused. Read more

You control your time. No one else. Being busy isn’t a status symbo. It’s not a proxy of your seriousness. See if this is true for you - are you worthy if you aren’t busy? Are you successful if you’re not busy? You’re lazy if you’re not busy.

If those may be true for you let me know with a yes in the comments so we can chat more about it.

Think about your day. Do you have this belief that if you’re busy you’re successful, you’re not lazy, your needed and valuable? Are any of those true?

The truth is, when you're busy and buzzing all the time there is no room for growth, there is no room to plan your growth, there is no room for you to breathe and give yourself what you need. There is no room for you to set yourself up for success. Of course, you don’t have time for self-care or to take care of yourself …
