One of the biggest challenges Black women coaches face in making progress on our business goals can be summed up in one deflating, five-word sentence. I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. Now, I get it. Everyone is busy. However, it’s important to know when you’re using your time wisely vs wasting your precious time on things that don’t matter. Because no matter what your situation is, it’s up to you how to spend the limited time that you DO have. If you’re been frustrated with your progress in your coaching business, it may be time to take a close look at your calendar and reevaluate your weekly schedu ..read more

Many of us have “blind spots” that prevent us from seeing why we aren’t making money in our coaching businesses. If you’re feeling confused about why your revenue isn’t stacking up quite yet, don’t sweat it. In this post, I spill the tea on 3 common reasons why your cash flow might be playing hard to get! Reason #1: You don’t have a revenue goal that makes sense. It’s really hard to reach your revenue goal when you haven’t actually defined what it is. I teach my clients to get crystal clear on how much money they want to make for the year and then break it down month by month. In addition, yo ..read more

Some of us have accumulated so much physical stuff over the years, that our closets might resemble something from that TV show, Hoarders. Even though you may think you need every old appliance, sentimental keepsake and seldom-worn piece of clothing, the truth is that the more physical clutter you have, the harder it may be to move forward into your ideal life. Those old letters/emails from your ex that you just can’t seem to throw away/delete? They could be keeping you from attracting a new relationship into your life. That tattered wallet you’ve had for the last 10 years? It could be keeping ..read more
