After almost five years of working for myself, I recently went on the hunt (successfully, thankfully!) for a full time job. Lots of people were incredibly supportive. It was great. On the other hand, I also had a multiple people express disappointment, implying that I had “given up” on my business, that I was throwing away […]
(some eternal productivity wisdom via Ron Swanson of Parks & Rec) One of my repeated lessons this year (I know I’m a stubborn student but I think I’ve finally learned it, let’s all cross our fingers) is that I have a touch of a tendency to overload myself. Here’s what was on my docket for […]
(Quick note! New thing new thing! If you loved this breakdown, you should definitely check out the Brass Tacks Biz Series – it’s going to be more case studies just like this, with worksheets & actionable info, live every month, and the price is supa-reasonable.) In case you missed it (or are finding this post […]

My week did not start well. I had a super-awkward ending to a date* on Sunday (which was kinda my own fault, but still not fun), didn’t sleep well, and woke up headachey and groggy. (Which was also my own fault, given that I decided pink lemonade with tequila** and staying up late with friends […]

ETA: My grandpa passed away on Tuesday night, so I’ve extended the holiday specials until this Saturday, as I didn’t have a chance to get the word out as much as I wanted about the workshop price change before the bundle bonus expired (due to taking today – 11/28 – and tomorrow – 11/29 off). […]
Obviously, I’m pretty big on delegation and the good it can do for your business. However, I am definitely not a legal expert when it comes to hiring or employees – that’s Erica’s field of expertise.
