Taking Care Of Your Mental Wellbeing
As entrepreneurs, we often focus on landing our dream clients. But what happens when we land a client and they don’t respect our payment deadlines?
In today's episode, I discuss why corporations and government agencies should offer minority and women-owned businesses the same level of respect as employees when it comes to meeting payments. Later on in the episode, I also delve into mental health as an entrepreneur and coping with fear (if you don’t address fears as they arise, they can become a magnet for negativity).
There is no price tag for wellbeing and the purpose of this episode is to really urge you to take care of your mental health.

Top Tips for Time Management
In today’s world, our to-do lists are never ending. We are wearing multiple hats while trying to be the best at everything. Many of us are finding ourselves stretched thin while working from home, surrounded by distractions.
On today’s episode, I discuss my top tips for time management that have made an enormous difference in my work life and personal life. Over the years, I have learned some crucial skills for time management by working with top-level coaches worldwide.
We have all been placed in a situation where what worked in the past isn’t working anymore. By taking a moment to organize your to-do list, delegate when you can, and being kind to yourself, you will be able to manage your time effectively so that you can live the life you want.

Top Tips for Running a Successful Business
Just because how we do business today is different from a year ago doesn't mean we shouldn't still strive to be successful—it's just that the way we get there is different. In this episode, I share my top tips for running a successful business and adapting to our changing world.
Prioritize your health and well-being. Figuring out why you're here and what your purpose is. Vote with your conscience, and take a stand for what matters to you. Identify your ideal clients, and check in to make sure you're still serving existing clients appropriately. Don't stop marketing: it represents the promise you're making to current and potential customers, so find a way to consistently get your message out there. Deliver excellence, from small things like spell checking emails and returning calls on time, these things all contribute to answering the question, "Are you showing up as excellent"? Nurture your network, as your closest connections—clients, family, accountability partners, etc.—are a powerful asset. Stay on the leading edge of your industry by investing in continuous learning and strengthening your professional development. Leverage technology wherever you can to help you adapt. Whether it's for scheduling, project management, or for cost savings, it pays to know what technology and apps are on the market and how they can benefit your business.
