I work with entrepreneurs every day who are stuck.  They have all kinds of ideas and goals for their business but they’re stuck on how to get them done.

An important shift for any solopreneur to make in their business is to acknowledge that you are the CEO of your own corporation which means that you don’t do EVERYTHING.

I read Michael Gerber’s The E-Myth Revisited many years ago and the key message that’s stuck with me is that we get into business because of a passion, not to do all the “other stuff”. He uses the example of the lady who loves baking great apple pies and therefore starts a bakery. Truth is she loves to bake but she doesn’t like (nor is she particularly good at) running the bakery, ordering supplies, and managing her books. (more…)

Delegating is one of the best ways to handle working mothers’ stress and give yourself more time, energy and money. It’s also a key element in getting important things done to move your business forward. I am such a believer in the importance of delegating and having a team of people to support you.

I had a chance to speak with Erin Blaskie, The VA Coach, about how to delegate to a virtual assistant so you can work so much more effectively. But you may wonder, do I really need (or can I afford) my own assistant? Find out in this podcast.
