The Insight That Changed Their Business and Their Life

Hi Reader, Last year, Cory and I worked with a client who felt stuck. They needed more income but also craved more time for their passions. They were at a crossroads. Instead of diving straight into strategy, we paused. We looked at their experiences, strengths, and what truly lit them up. The result? They restructured their business, partnered with someone who loved handling the details, and focused on what they did best—networking and building relationships. Within a year, they were closing...

 Daily Insights: Co-Working Writing Hour

Hi Reader, Anyone else getting tired of the generic AI content flooding LinkedIn lately?While ChatGPT can help you beat writer’s block, brainstorm ideas, and organize your marketing at lightning speed, there’s more to creating content that’s authentic—and that truly converts readers into clients. I used to stare at a blank page, overwhelmed by the pressure to keep up with trends. Then I discovered the power of tapping into my own experiences and insights, and I fell in love with writing all...

Hi Reader, Some days feel like they come straight out of a movie—filled with challenges, unexpected twists, and small victories. (Is Mercury in retrograde?) Yesterday, I was in the middle of juggling everything: supporting my autistic (diagnosis finally completed) daughter with her new therapy exercises, preparing for a three-Zoom-meeting day, and dealing with my car's computer crashing (seriously?) that's draining the battery. And still, I had a Lego parrot to build for Caidynn, a networking...

Hi Reader, How are you doing? I had some interesting conversations yesterday with friends and clients. To be honest, I've been numb off and on for over a year as I've opened my eyes to what's really going on in the world. As a Filipina American growing up and working in mostly white spaces, I'm not surprised. Tired, but not surprised. What's helping me is finding local and online community where our values are in alignment. Ultimately, I value collective liberation. Because if the most...

Hello Reader, Every December and January, I would set my goals for the upcoming year. But by June, I found myself scrambling to accomplish something I could be proud of. Some people thrive on setting annual goals. However, it wasn't until I read the book "The 12-Week Year" that I realized the root of my problem. A year is simply too long to maintain momentum and to experience the thrill of an early win. Instead, creating a 90-day plan with the focus and intensity of a year-long goal can be a...

*and every day!Hi Reader,First of all, thank you for being part of our community. Cory and I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your loved ones.

Reader, What's more important to you, earning an income or living your purpose? I know - it's a loaded question. When we talk about what we do or what we're passionate about, we can go on and on about what we love. Bring up the subject of money and interesting beliefs, limitations, judgments, and all of that fun stuff that may stop you from not only earning an income you can live on but an income you can thrive on. There are three money challenges that you may not really think about until...
