Do you know what it means to qualify your clients? It sounds a little scary, I know (at least to me) but is actually VERY simple (you might even be doing it already!!) and SO important.
In this episode I'll talk about what it means, why it's one of the most important things you can do, and then will offer some suggestions for how to do it.

If you had asked me a few months ago if I had ADHD, I would have said a very confident no. It wasn't just that I hadn't considered it, but that I knew what it was, have family members with it, and was positive that I didn't have any of the classic symptoms.
Turns out I was wrong.
So in this episode I'll talk about why I was so sure I didn't have ADHD, share some of my symptoms, tell you why I think ADHD brains are so awesome!! and offer some places to get started if you see yourself in any of what I'm talking about here, and want to look into it further.

There are a lot of reasons that you might find it hard to "market" yourself and your business.
One that I've just realized is that it feels like the goal of marketing is to convince someone to work with me, wether they want to or not, and wether it's the right choice for them or not.
In this episode I talk about that, and share a different way of thinking that might just change the way you feel about marketing, forever.

I tend to have 2 modes:
Way behind on everything and panicked because I have too much to do, and not enough time
OR
Way ahead on things so I mess around and don't get stuff done until I find myself way behind on everything and panicked because I have too much to do...Which is obviously a terrible cycle to be in. I've been working hard to get a handle on this and have created a really simple tool that has helped me end the panic cycle.
In this episode, I'm sharing how it's helped, how you can use it, and of course, I've got the link for you to download and print your own copy. :-)

Covid has made us see so many problems in our industry, and one of the biggest is how vulnerable we are, legally, if we don't have good contracts and terms and conditions in place to protect us.
We know we need to protect ourselves, but hiring an attorney feels very overwhelming and out of reach for most of us.
In this episode, I am talking to Thomas Carpenter - an attorney AND a travel agent.
We talk about why it's so important to protect yourself, but also HOW you can do that, even if you're just starting out.
