According to the Wall Street Journal, only one out of every 20 households in the United States has more than 1M dollars in investable assets.
And, the Millionaire Next door, when featured in the New York Times said, “self-employed people make up less than 20 percent of the workers in America but account for two-thirds of the millionaires.”
Why am I telling you this?
When I first started marketing online, I remember wanting to know the business of the business. What that meant to me was, what resources do people use to make it all work. Being a Canadian business that serves clients all over the world, sometimes it is not as simple to find the right resources as one might think.
Since 2010, I have tried a lot of different resources to figure out what works best. Some of these resources have stuck and some not so much. I am going to share those that have with you below.

You may not have noticed, but Facebook has added three new features in recent months that can help you manage time and relationships in your business.
Those features are Search, Save, and Stop.
Let’s start with Search and Save. How can they help you in your business?
Because, business is about people. Therefore your ability to find information about the people who matter to your business is important.
Have you ever been on your newsfeed in Facebook reading something when suddenly the newsfeed jumped and it disappeared on you?
You already know that business is an exchange of money for a product or service. In order to have a business, you need a customer. In order to gain a customer, they need to know you, like you, trust you, AND buy from you.
So why is it that some people can do it and others cannot? I have a theory around some of the things that differentiate the winners from the losers.
You are not wired to notice when people do things the way they are supposed to.
You also have some intrinsic beliefs around what people “should do” because they are being paid to do a job.
As the owner of a business, or manager in a company, you look for what is wrong. It’s what you’ve been trained to do. It is your job to notice the outliers and fix them.
That is why, the number one reason for employee turnover is you.
Have you ever wanted to be able to reach out and connect with people from the comfort of your home or office but weren’t sure where to start?
This blog post will change everything for you. I am going to share step-by-step how we took a planning workshop live to the web and had a fantastic experience using YouTube Live Events.
My store hadn’t been opened for very long when she said to me with a twinkle in her eye, “Madame, it looks like you are going to have to put on your big girl panties.” and then walked away.
She was right.
Someone owed us money and I needed to pick up the phone and call him to discuss it.
You have a creative idea that you can’t wait to start on. For me, it’s a book.
The possibilities for success are endless and you feel invigorated and inspired by the work you are about to do. You start. You make lists. You cross things off your lists and, for the first little while, you give it your all.
You tell everyone what you are doing. Your excitement continues to build.
You can see your future and it is lovely.
Suddenly the end is near! You can see the finish line in sight.
Instead of being inspired to keep going; you want to quit.
