BONUS EPISODE:  Ok, I'll admit it, I groan and gripe when I have to get all gussied up for a zoom meeting.  I'm comfy in my home office, working hard in my baseball cap and sweatshirt, and I don't want anyone to see all of this unimproved goodness....but we miss out on so many relational/trust building benefits when we remove the visual from our communication.  Getting a little uncomfortable and showing yourself on your virtual meetings can make a huge difference.  Don't believe me?  Here are a few other perspectives on this.A video from Patty Azzarello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDKIITF8_Rw&t=17sAn article from Goto.com https://www.goto.com/blog/6-reasons-turn-webcam-online-meetingsDO IT!  Turn on the camera. 

Tiffany Ju is our guest on Female Founder World! Tiffany's bootstrapped hair accessory brand, Chunks, hit $40k in sales in her first year, $500k in year two, and in her third year, 2021, made over $1 million in sales—all without paid ads.  After being let go from her first 9-5 job in 2012, Tiffany began building her first business. She started dying tights in her kitchen and selling them on Etsy, which immediately went viral. She quickly discovered hand-dying tights wasn't a scalable business, and sales declined over time as the trend faded. Tiffany eventually closed her tights business and took a year off in 2018 to create art and explore her interests. She found a gap in the market for unique, high-quality hair clips, and Chunks was born. Things lined up: Tiffany already had experience manufacturing, the margins looked great, and there wasn't much competition in the space at the time. Her tights business left Tiffany in debt, so she knew she had to bootstrap and be extremely resourceful this time around. Tiffany worked with manufacturers who accepted small orders, created her own website, invested in photography, and began testing the market. Chunks began primarily selling via wholesale since Tiffany was able to tap into her existing network from her first business. From there, the online orders began trickling in. In 2020 with stores closing and wholesale slowing down, Tiffany continued developing her customer base online and saw ecommerce taking off. Today, Chunks' business is split about 40% ecommerce and 60% wholesale. The business is doing over a $1 million in annual revenue and manages a team of 14. While Tiffany has prioritized hiring, she's refocused herself into a marketing director role, deciding that it's too early to bring on someone externally for that position.     Female Founder World is the place to meet your business besties online and IRL. Join our online community and get alerts about upcoming events in your city: www.femalefounderworld.norby.live Links Explore Chunks: http://chunks.shop/ Join Female Founder World's AMA to ask Tiffany your business questions on Thursday, 3 Nov 2022: https://momence.com/s/29672484  We're coming to Austin!

Did you make any New Year's resolutions at the beginning of the year? It's May now and I wonder if you did make any resolutions, do you even remember them? And if you remember them, did you keep them? I wouldn't want to know how many resolutions I've made that just petered out after awhile. I really meant to keep them; I started off with a strong commitment and a big push, but somehow the passion just faded with time. You too? Recently a friend gave me a book by a business woman named Patty Azzarello. The book is called Rise, and she says it gives three practical steps for advancing your career, standing out as a leader, and liking your life. Well, that's a pretty tall order for a book to deliver, but even though it's not written from a biblical perspective, some of her thoughts are helpful. So, today I want to talk about Ruthless Priorities, which she defines as overachieving where it counts. Years ago God taught me that I can't do everything; I can't even do everything I'm capable of doing or would like to do. I have to make choices and those choices determine whether what I do counts in the Kingdom or not. Truly, in order to do God's will, we need ruthless priorities; priorities that are clearly established in our minds and to which we ruthlessly hold. Otherwise, we will be pulled in a hundred different directions, and accomplish very little that truly counts for eternity. Without some ruthless priorities in our lives, we'll continue to make sincere resolutions that don't last very long! One of the chapters in this book is entitled “Be Less Busy,” which doesn't sound like the way to advance your career, does it? But truthfully, we have to begin by getting rid of our preconceived idea that busyness means productivity. When I first began my career years ago, I noticed that many people in the company worked very long hours and took great pride in it. They seemed to think that putting in lots of extra hours meant they were demonstrating a higher commitment to the job; they were doing a better job than the rest of us. Patty says in her book, “Many people feel that if they are not fully consumed with work and always appearing to be super busy, people will question their commitment and their value.” (p.15) I truly believe in working hard, but equally important is working smart. Getting great results with less work is the sign of a very smart person. As Patty puts it, “Just because you can work tirelessly doesn't mean you should.” (p.17) Do you have a ruthless priority for your life that you will slow down; that you will truly “be still and know that God is God”? There's an African proverb that says, “Hurry, hurry has no blessing,” and truly it doesn't. Slowing down so we have time to know God has to be our highest priority, and when it is, you'll get more done in less time, and you won't be so frayed around the edges. I certainly agree that we should overachieve in some areas; we should go extra miles and do more than we have to do. But are we overachieving where it counts? Maybe, like me, you have a “to do” list that you use to make sure you do what you need to do. But perhaps we need a “not to do” list as well, to remind us that we cannot be all things to all people, we are not super-people, God has not called us to burn out, and therefore some things will have to be left undone if we have ruthless priorities. The dictionary says that ruthless means without pity or compassion; merciless; heartless. Well, we certainly don't want to be ruthless people, but we need to establish ruthless priorities for our lives. That means that we are merciless about saying no to the truly unimportant things which clamor for our time and attention. We are determined not to be sidetracked by the tyranny of the urgent which keeps us from overachieving where it counts. Think of it this way: What do you want to be said about you after you're gone? What do you want to be remembered for?

Everyone with a cellphone has dropped it. So why is it when it falls to the ground, it always seems to land screen-side down? I’ll explain the science behind it.Then, human beings have a hard time admitting when they are wrong or that they believe something that isn’t true. Psychologist Carol Tavris, author of the book Mistakes Were Made but Not By Me (http://amzn.to/2Blf7vL) explores this phenomenon and explains how it causes a lot of problems in relationships and what we can do about it.Some people are really good at choosing just the right holiday gift for people while others of us are not. Buying the wrong gift can send the wrong message and land you in trouble. If you are “gift-giving challenged, you’ll want to hear this list of gifts you should never buy anyone.And if you think hard work and dedication are the things that will get you promoted at work, you are wrong. Sure, they are important but moving up requires more than competence, it requires understanding how the game is played. Patty Azzarello, author of the book, Rise: 3 Practical Steps for Advancing Your Career, Standing Out as a Leader, and Liking Your Life (http://amzn.to/2k3BSjz) explains what matters and what doesn’t when it comes to getting ahead on the job.
