NO IT IS NOT!  This one is short and simple today ladies.  Here’s the deal. You see people suffering and you see people judging other people for "selling" instead of just giving everything away.  There's no reason you shouldn't be selling from the heart. The world needs what you have to offer. And if you focus on providing immense value for a real need, that fear will wash away! FOR MORE INFOR ON THE PIVOT MY BUSINESS MASTERMIND CLICK HERE!

Moms are busy and ain’t no mama got time to waste!  But, that couldn’t be truer than right now! With the the way we did business before being completely thrown to the wind, moms are doing what they always do… getting resourceful and pivoting their businesses to thrive in this economy.  They’re taking their existing businesses, expertise, talents… and they’re shifting them to serve a current need. With all these major companies pivoting, shouldn’t you be too?  Maybe your business already serves the existing need. But maybe it doesn’t.  And if it doesn’t… then what? PIVOT! Listen mamas… I’m a mom too.  I get it. I have three little ones who need me, a husband, and three businesses, not to mention a staff and a community to serve.  No one has the luxury of space or time. But right now, with commitments and obligations gone, we can’t let time be our excuse. Time is limited and it’s up to us to optimize it and move into a business model that is both profitable and gives us the space to show up for our families the way we need to during this time. If you want to thrive out of this historical shift, then I’m begging you to let go of whatever excuse is holding you back, take action, and know that you deserve your dreams! FOR MORE INFOR ON THE PIVOT MY BUSINESS MASTERMIND CLICK HERE!

We’re so excited to talk all things PIVOT!   First… what does pivot even mean?  Basically, when your current business model isn’t working (and this happens more often than not), and you shift to a new plan.  But pivoting doesn’t necessarily mean desperation or giving up on a dream.  Rather, it’s an opportunity to discover additional growth--growth you might have overlooked. Sometimes we get so deep into our businesses that we fail to see that we can grow beyond our initial dreams.  Right ladies… we’re in the weeds every day. But if we re-imagine what we’ve built, the assets we’ve acquired, the knowledge we’ve gained, we have the opportunity to pivot into a more aligned business, both for profits and for our lifestyles. Take a deep breath, mama… it’s time to seize this moment and evaluate your course. So, let’s talk Masterminds sister! FOR MORE INFOR ON THE PIVOT MY BUSINESS MASTERMIND CLICK HERE!
