What is a PBC? When people talk about incorporating, there are all kinds of choices that you can make about incorporating. And we are a B corporation. We have a B corporation designation on top of a C corporation. And that means, in addition to profits, that we can have a mission that drives our business. So we can be held accountable for our mission alongside any other corporations that are driven by profits. And that’s the main thing that

Here’s a question for you: How productive are you? I know, I know…if you’re like most people, your answer is: It depends on the day. I get that. You create that to-do list or check your planner or project management tool, and some days you’re ready to tackle it all. Other days, it looks like there’s not enough time in the day – and you wonder if you can get anything done at all. When talking with CEOs and entrepreneurs, they tell

How is this relevant to business? COVID has forced these two worlds that we’ve kept separate – personal and business – and blurred those lines and meshed them together. And it’s not only impacted business owners and managers and bosses but it’s really impacted us who work at home. And with those blurred lines, I think a lot of people felt as if there’s a great opportunity to work from home and not take that ride. But all of a

Did you catch the subject line of this email? The subject line said: BE STUBBORN Yes, you read that correctly…I want you to be stubborn. And let me tell you why. I was on LinkedIn and ran across this quote: Be Stubborn About Your Goals, But Flexible About Your Methods (Cited in the book Managing Interpersonal Conflict by William A. Donohue) And I loved it. We always talk about setting those big goals…those goals that might make you a little uncomfortable because

Now that Labor Day has passed, I guess we have to say goodbye to summer. 🙁 And yes, I love summer. I love the slower pace. I love warm days. I love having my kids home from school. And I love the time spent with family and friends – especially on a relaxing vacation. But there’s something special about autumn, too. For me, I love the transition to preparing for Momentum Live: The CEO Experience. I love connecting and reconnecting

When should a business start implementing marketing automation? Given that we are still dealing with the pandemic, obviously, many things have shifted from face-to-face to being online to be some level of virtual. But as business owners, we still want to give the same high-quality service to our clients and customers. And so, automation helps us to do that. When the world opens back up again, those of us who may work with people face-to-face will still want to be

Well, today is a BIG day…it’s MY BIRTHDAY! Yes, I am one of those crazy people that LOVES my birthday. I know you may be reading that and gag as you dread the reminder that you are one year older. But after a year and a half like we have had, with more adaptation in the months ahead required, I am feeling incredibly grateful to celebrate another birthday. And I’ve got to say; I really enjoy my birthday. Today on

Let me know if this sounds all too familiar… · Endless emails and text messages sent back and forth as you attempt to get projects and tasks completed · Spreadsheets upon spreadsheets to try and keep you and your team organized · Tasks falling through the cracks or never getting off the ground at all · Customers and clients who are a little “salty” because you missed a deadline or forgot to get back to them If you’re sheepishly nodding

How do you focus on people and keep them focused when things are as tumultuous as they are right now? I think internal communication is key. I think you need to keep everyone updated around what you’re personally thinking as an executive team and around what’s going to be happening. Unfortunately, I’m seeing too many companies doing last-minute communications around decisions related to COVID. You know what you’re thinking about doing prior to the decision that you actually make. So,
