I don’t know about you, but I’m so happy it’s the weekend! The weekend is that time that we so often use to decompress after a hectic week. And this week was hectic! Question – did you notice the theme in the emails I shared this week? This week has been all about wellness – and I hope they’ve served as a good reminder to you (I know they did for me). There was Dr. Roch Herold on Tuesday discussing worksite

Happy Thursday to you! I hope you’ve been having a great week and had a chance to check out Dr. Roch Herold’s “What Businesses Need to Know Right Now” interview about worksite wellness that I shared on Tuesday. Often, we’re so busy working in and on our business that our health and well-being can sometimes go to the back burner – and that’s not where it needs to be. It definitely deserves a place up front – because if you’re not healthy,

What is ergonomics, and why does it matter? This is actually a really important topic. The influx of patients that I’ve been seeing over the past three months has been primarily due to ergonomic issues. Before, it was people that were out driving, and it was car accidents and slips and falls, or people who were weekend warriors, and they were doing this and getting into situations where they would be in pain. But now, activities have calmed down, or

Who can relate to this scenario? You start your business, and things are really clicking along. You’ve got new clients, and they’re referring you to others, and your business is growing. There’s money coming in. You’ve established some systems and processes to help make things go a little smoother. You’ve even set some big goals for yourself that will get you to that next level. And then a client calls and says they need to go in a different direction.

Happy Thursday! I won’t take up much of your time today – I just have a couple of quick questions! Who’s on LinkedIn? Yeah…just about everyone. But here’s the important question…When was the last time you updated your LinkedIn profile? If you said to yourself, “Hmmmm…I don’t actually remember,” – don’t worry – I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one. But if you want to use LinkedIn to connect with people, develop relationships, and generate leads – you need

What do businesses need to know about finding new clients on LinkedIn? That’s a good question. I think the main thing that a lot of people don’t ask themselves and that they should is: Philosophically, what do we want to stand for? What is our method going to be to find leads on LinkedIn? Because, and this applies to marketing in general, there are many methods out there. And most methods out there work – one way or another. For

Do you know what I’m a big believer in? Well, there are a lot of things, but one of the things at the top of my list is the idea that you should CELEBRATE EVERYTHING! Now, when you hear the word “celebrate,” your mind (if you’re like most people) probably equates it to success. It’s natural. When you accomplish something, you should celebrate it – no matter how big or how small. And I agree 110%! But what if I told

I want to do a quick activity with you! Take 10 seconds and think of 10 things that are tied to your identity. And…GO! 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10 And…DONE! Now, thinking about that list – how many of the things you thought about are tied to your business? Quite a few? Just a couple? None at all? If it was just a couple – or even none at all – I want to give you a big round of applause! High achievers in

We’ve talked a lot about communication in the last few weeks. Susan Rose shared her thoughts on the power of email marketing in Tuesday’s interview. And last week, Sean Sutherland shared how Kapowza has been sending out newsletters and reminded us that we shouldn’t forget about using snail mail – especially if we are looking to send clients or prospective clients some promotional items. I couldn’t help but think about all of the ways that we can stay in touch with our

Why should any business use email marketing, but specifically entrepreneurs? The first part of that question is that it doesn’t matter what industry you’re in – email can work. Now, the same tactics don’t work the same from industry to industry. You have to adapt whatever you’re doing based on you and your businesses. So, that’s the first thing. The second thing to remember is that it is email, and study after study has shown that it is the most
