If you’re feeling a bit stressed out lately, I’d love to share with you some of the simple tips I incorporate to deal with stress in my own life. It takes some time to find what truly works for you, and it takes even more practice to get into the habit of taking time to help yourself through stressful situations.

But that’s exactly what it is — practice. We make a commitment to help ourselves where we can and when we can, with the tools we find that work for our unique selves.

Here are eight simple and very actionable ways to manage daily stress that can fit perfectly into your daily routine.

1. Change your reaction

One of the easiest ways to handle stress is to change perspective when it comes to the response. Figure out what’s triggering the tension, then make a targeted strategy. It’s so hard…

"Your ideas drive me crazy; maybe you should concentrate a bit more and stop coming up with all these ideas! You are so annoying. I’ve had enough of you, and it's not just me; everyone hates you," my employee shouted at the end of the meeting. She slammed the door in my face, leaving me to sit alone in the room.

I sat silently in shock. So many questions went through my head. So many emotions. I was angry, upset, sad, and confused all at the same time.

I stared out the window. What just happened? Why did it happen? I start to question myself. Am I really that terrible at running my business? I have done so much for my staff. I am always there for them; I bend forward and backward to make them all happy. I spend countless hours training them and paying them good wages. We spend time together. I’m their friend as much as…

Why Include a Page for Planners on Your Speaking Website?First and foremost, the answer is time. Event planners are busy people. They’ve got a lot of speakers to evaluate. Therefore, it makes total sense to have everything they need collected into one concise page that saves them searching all over your website for the information they’re looking for.

So often, having a clear and compact planner page can make the difference when it comes to securing speaking gigs. Remember, you have to make it as easy as possible for them to book you. The planner page provides everything they need in one simple click. So make sure you get working on including a planner page if you haven’t already!

If that’s you, you might be wondering what you need to include. So let’s quickly run over the fundamentals.

What Should You Incl…

We spend an awful lot of time in our head trying to figure things (or people) to the point that we become disembodied. This happens more than we even realize.

Spending too much time in our head disconnects us from our body’s wisdom, our awareness, and a sense of clarity. When this happens, we feel less clear about our sense of purpose, direction and meaning.Then, the snowball effect sets in.

We begin over-analyzing which creates more stress.

We begin worrying about the future so much, that we steal ourselves from the present moment.

We repeatedly run scenarios from the past over and over in our mind, trying to make sense of things or wishing we had responded in a different way.

We become distracted by what others should or shouldn’t be doing.

We fall prey to comparison and continu…

Hello All,

It’s Terrific Wednesday! I’m Davedda Smith.

I am returning to the 90 day video Challenge. I ended on Day 12, I’ve decided to take on the challenge as stated in this meme I read this morning to “Let Your Light shine so brightly that it instantly awakens the light in everyone that enters your presence.” the Bible even says to let our light shine so that men will see our good works. It specifically tells us not to hide our light under a bushel.

For years I’ve heard that scripture as a believer and agreed with it; but when it came to me actually shining, I shy’d away from it. In high school I was a homecoming queen and it put me out in front of people; even then I was uncomfortable.

I was a popular athlete in high school running track and playing volleyball; yet I hid because I didn’t wan…

No, I am not a juggler. But before I got my CRM that is what I was doing, or should I say, attempting to do. Juggle client’s emails, offers, landing pages, products, and the list was never ending. When I decided to get a CRM platform, I got my life back.

CRM software helps employees have quick access to info about the customer, company, contact details etc. They can be used by a vast range of businesses.

This software is also known as Client Relationship Management (CRM) software, platforms, and systems. It may be combined with other customer service software like help desks and support ticket systems. This helps the business provide the best customer service.

Becoming an entrepreneur is a dream of many, but wanting and becoming are two different things. Pursuing this dream requires effort, in all possible aspects. We have countless examples of successful entrepreneurs who started from scratch and are now successful billionaires.

Before you Google a business plan template and start plugging in the information or building a website, you need to understand your vision. What is your why? Why do you want to start a business? Do you understand the difference between a hobby and a business? Do you know that starting a business is a commitment and requires extra time, attention, and resources? What are you hoping to achieve by starting a business?

Here’s where people get it wrong:

They start posting on social media about their website.They skip the business plan.Go out and bu…

As you begin to read this its a new week but the days all feel the same...

I get it, you’re at your wits end , right?   I know your pain because I’ve been in your shoes.  All female entrepreneur’s situations different but the results are usually the same: You’re working 10-14 hour days and too many weekends, just to keep a few clients happy…  You know you're not getting paid what you’re worth and you’re probably at the point where you’ve started to resent your business.   You’re doing everything by yourself, checking off every task off your list and feel completely strapped for time…   You’re beaten tired running yourself ragged with a to-do list that never stops and you know you’re heading towards a breakdown…    You're the chef, ma…
