Two most-asked questions about the Community
Good morning, With the launch of our new Learning Community coming up in just one day, we’ve been getting two questions from many people, and I thought I’d answer them here. Question One: Is (X) amount acceptable? Can I change what I pay later? It’s understandable that people feel a little shy about our Pay […]

Vulnerability in business can help or harm
Our Director of Education, Steve Mattus, is no stranger to being vulnerable. He was really vulnerable about a particularly deep state of depression he was in. Did it work? It was a really popular and helpful article among our readers generating dozens of comments. How did he decide how vulnerable to be? How could he […]
Seven years to build a business?!?
Before we get into the topic, I want to allow us all to take a few breaths in prayer and remembrance for all of those affected so horribly by extreme weather events. India, Pakistan, Nepal, Mexico, U.S…. and I’m sure others. We’ve ignored the calls to mitigate petroleum-fueled climate change since 1978, and millions of […]
Getting Help from the 6 Senses of Support
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about support. What is it? What kind is most appropriate for different situations? How do you discern what kind of support is needed most? When and how do you get it? The reason I’ve been thinking about this is because, in our Community, we have a Compassionate Accountability process […]
No healthy shame. (A significant correction to last week.)
Last week I wrote an article about Toxic Shame versus Healthy Shame. While I received a lot of positive feedback from folks by email, we had a pretty intense, open-hearted, revealing discussion on the topic within our Community. So, I know that it wasn’t just positive responses that were happening, even though that’s all I […]
[VIDEO] How to approach someone who messed up on you
Okay, you’ve done it. You’ve hired a team member. Maybe they’re an employee, or maybe they are a contractor, or maybe you’re a client of theirs, for instance when you hire a Virtual Assistant. However you’ve done, you’ve got someone. Then, inevitably, it happens. They mess up. In a big way. There’s a reframe that […]
[Video] Two Forces in Marketing
(I tied my own bowtie for the first time ever. See there, in the video below? I don’t think I’ve ever worn a bowtie before, let alone tied one. Who knew?!?!?) To the point… I was recently thinking about marketing and the two different forces that I’ve seen play key roles in my and others’ […]
Talking about your business when the world is intense
It’s no secret that the U.S. political situation is a mess right now. There’s a lot of extreme stuff going on. Not only might you be affected emotionally, there’s also the issue of what’s appropriate to talk about? As one of our Community members put it, “I had a launch on 1/13 of a new novel, and […]
3 topics that unite business and activism
My sons and I were on the floor, coloring in the outlines of letters, before taping the cardboard to sticks. As a family we were going to be at the women’s march in downtown Ithaca. 10,000 of us showed up, according to the Ithaca Police Department, along with millions more at hundreds of marches around […]
