  • Starting Strong: Why Done Beats Perfect In 2026
    Jan 2 2026

    Send us a text

    The calendar flipped, the pressure spiked, and the myth of perfect plans started shouting again. So we sat down on New Year’s night to tell the truth about momentum, grief, messy starts, and why shipping imperfect work beats waiting for a flawless life to show up. After a brutal 2025 that took a lot and taught even more, we’re back with a simple promise: protect the work that moves the needle and let everything else take a number.

    We unpack how “done is better than perfect” becomes more than a slogan when you’re tired, behind, or overwhelmed. You’ll hear how month‑by‑month planning can outrun six‑month fantasies, why to‑do lists quietly turn into traps, and how a single protected block each day can rebuild momentum fast. We get specific about time blocking, defining one daily outcome, and focusing on small, repeatable actions that actually drive revenue: publishing clear offers, starting honest conversations, following up, and iterating in public. No hacks, no gloss, just a practical rhythm you can adopt today.

    There’s more in the pipeline. We preview new guests who will bring fresh angles on building a business without burning out, and we invite you to explore our sister show, A Woman’s Power Unfiltered, which amplifies voices across ages and stages. The theme is consistent: simple systems, real stories, and progress that compounds. If you’ve been waiting for permission to start before you feel ready, consider this your green light.

    If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs momentum more than motivation, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more builders find practical tools and a kinder way to grow this year.

  • The Power of Decisive Action in Business and Life
    Sep 29 2025

    Send us a text

    Decision-making is the foundation of both business success and a fulfilling life. Yet we rarely acknowledge how these choices, both conscious and unconscious, shape our entrepreneurial journey. When we avoid making decisions, we drift—and drifting rarely leads to the business or life we truly want.

    Throughout my entrepreneurial journey, I've learned that thoughtful decision-making transformed my small pamper events business into a thriving events company handling everything from children's birthdays to adult celebrations. Did I make perfect choices every time? Absolutely not! But consistently making decisions, rather than avoiding them, propelled my business forward.

    Finding balance is crucial. A business consuming 99% of your energy while leaving only 1% for personal life might grow initially, but such growth isn't sustainable. My father would remind me, "You're putting yourself last," emphasizing that business success loses its meaning if you never actually enjoy life. Many entrepreneurs face decision paralysis—sometimes from uncertainty, sometimes from fear of outcomes (both positive and negative). But avoiding decisions leads to stagnation, wasted time, and countless missed opportunities.

    What makes a good decision? Simply put, it aligns with YOUR desired outcome, not someone else's. This explains why blindly copying another entrepreneur's path often fails; their choices match their unique circumstances, not yours. When mistakes happen (and they will), avoid spiraling into self-doubt. Instead, ask: "How can I rectify this? What's my next step?" Every misstep contains valuable lessons if you're willing to learn rather than dwell on failure.

    This week, identify one area of your business where you've been drifting and make a decision—even a tiny one. That's how you begin creating the business and life you truly want.

  • Learn, Pivot, Succeed: Embracing Failure in Your Business Journey
    Sep 15 2025

    Send us a text

    Failure in business isn't the opposite of success but rather the strategy you didn't know you were running. Every entrepreneur faces failure at some point, but what separates successful ones is their ability to learn from mistakes by analyzing data and adjusting strategy rather than taking failure personally.

    • Failure equals feedback, showing what doesn't work so you can get closer to what does
    • Without failure, you're just guessing—failure provides concrete evidence for improvement
    • Early mistakes with Facebook advertising taught valuable lessons through analysis
    • Emotional reactions to failure prevent strategic thinking and progress
    • Consistency is crucial but often overlooked by entrepreneurs
    • Four-step strategy: diagnose what went wrong, detach and remove ego, decide what to do differently, deploy with lessons integrated
    • Successful businesses all experience repeated failure behind their highlight reels
    • Take the shame out of failure and transform it into strategic action
    • Failure becomes the beginning of your next strategy when handled correctly

    Coming soon: A free resource with four steps to turn your idea into a foundation plan you can follow. Sign up in the show notes to stay updated on all upcoming offers.

  • The Missing Piece: How Presence Amplifies Your Business Strategy
    Sep 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Have you ever wondered why some businesses with brilliant plans still fail to gain traction? The missing ingredient might not be what you expect.

    Welcome back to Business Built with Strategy! After a personal hiatus following the sudden loss of my father – who was not only my dad but my business mentor and hero – I'm returning with crucial insights about an overlooked aspect of entrepreneurial success.

    Strategy alone simply isn't enough. While having a clear business strategy is undeniably important (without one, you're just winging it), many entrepreneurs mistakenly focus solely on creating the perfect plan while neglecting how they'll communicate and embody that strategy. Common pitfalls include confusing to-do lists for strategy, mindlessly copying competitors without understanding context, and changing direction too frequently due to lack of clear benchmarks.

    What truly transforms a good business into a great one is the marriage of strategy with presence. Think about it: can you confidently pitch your business in any room? From casual coffee shop conversations to standing on stage before thousands? Your ability to communicate with authenticity and confidence is just as crucial as having a solid plan. Strategy without presence is merely a plan collecting dust; presence without strategy is confidence with no direction. Together, they create something powerful – a business that genuinely moves people.

    I'm thrilled to announce I've been working on something special that fuses these two essential elements. If you've ever frozen when it came time to present your ideas or struggled to effectively communicate your vision, this upcoming offering is designed for you. Remember: strategy is the map, presence is the vehicle – and you need both to reach your destination. Subscribe now or join my email list to be first to hear the details!
