Whether you are just starting out, or have been in business for a while, one of the most challenging decisions you face is when to reinvest in your business. Most of the time you are looking at low investments, but there will be times when upping your game requires something more significant and risky. So last week we asked the question.
When is it a good idea to splurge when reinvesting in your business, and why?
We received a variety of different approaches to the challenge, but the consensus was that there are parameters you should use when determining whether or not to reinvest. The bottom line is knowing the difference between something you might want, and what your business does or does not need. There is risk involved, so weigh the pros and cons of your decision carefully. If you’ve determined you have the resources, and not making the move may hurt your company or withhold value from your customers, it may be your moment to take action.
Everyone’s company is different, so this post in no way is offering guarantees of success. Take each expert’s experience in his/her own business to create guidelines for your business. If you have been struggling with whether or not to take the plunge, we hope that this email will provide you with some valuable food for thought from a great group of entrepreneurs who have successfully faced the same decision. Enjoy! Continue reading →

Welcome to the Weekly Wrap Up!
I really enjoy reading about people who bravely choose to just be who they are, finally deciding that they are self-worthy. In my searches for posts on the subject of authenticity, I had fun traveling down several rabbit holes. I find some of the best blogs, when I just allow my searches to take me on an adventure. This week was particularly fruitful, and I am very excited to share with you those who I discovered along the way.
This weekly wrap up is designed to share the blogs, websites and/or businesswomen that I found particularly helpful this week. Being true to your core can be challenging for those who spend too much time and energy listening to the dictates of the world around them. My top blog picks this week center around the importance of just being YOU.
You might find it strange, but I love to pick theme songs that motivate and personally inspire me. Sometimes it’s the lyrics, or just the tune, but music moves me. Today, I want to start this post off with one of my current theme songs — Why? Because you’re amazing! Enjoy!

We all have different stories, different paths in life, different challenges and victories. It is our differences that make us unique and interesting. But sometimes, in this heavily virtual world in which we live, it’s difficult to connect on a personal level. I am writing this post, because I would like to change that.
I want to get to know you, personally. Yes, you in the individual sense, not “you” in the global sense of all my readers. Right now I am speaking to just you, and sincerely want to know what it’s like to walk a mile in your shoes.

Welcome to the Tip of the Week!
Let’s be honest. There are days when your business just sucks! You are tired and frustrated, and wonder what the hell happened to doing what you love. Yes, momma said there’d be days like this…
To be honest, the best way to get out of a slump is to avoid getting into to one in the first place. Here’s the thing… When you over-book, overextend, overwork, and down right forget about taking care of your most valuable business asset (hint — YOU) that your work really begins feeling like work. But if you make the effort to take care of yourself, stay true to your values, and leverage your strengths in your business, you will find that most days are filled with a tremendous sense of joy about what you are doing. Let me know what you will commit to doing, starting today, to keep the love alive in your business.

One of the most difficult parts of starting a business is having the patience, determination, and faith to get it to the point of profitability. The overnight success is truly a myth. When you hear stories about how someone’s blog went from 100 to 5,000 subscribers in a week, or how someone launched their first product and made $100K, you have to wonder how much time was invested before those moments, that led to such “amazing” results.
The Truth Behind the Curtain
The back stories are what most people leave out. You don’t hear about how it took two years, investing an entire life savings, 16 hour days, sleepless nights, and many moments contemplating throwing in the towel. Starting a business is not an easy process. It’s, more often than not, an arduous uphill climb, with many twists, turns, and falls along the way. But it can really be worth the journey.
