The first few years of being in business, the idea of “paying myself first” sounded insane. It seemed a lot more important to pay my mortgage, my web hosting fees and the telephone bill. You know what I mean, right?
But then I noticed that I always felt one step behind in how much I was making. It seemed as if it was never enough. Plus, I never felt like I had “permission” to buy things I wanted, like new clothes or things for my house.
When I peeled back the curtain I realized that by not paying myself it was as if I was saying that “I didn’t count.” I was putting myself so low on the list of financial priorities it was no wonder I never felt like I had any mo.ney.
All that changed when I created my simple “Pay Yourself First” system. And yes, I created this system BEFORE I was making more. Magically, not only did I have the money to pay myself, I quickly began making MORE than I had before, without really doing anything different.
If you’re in the same boat I was, where you always seem to have more “month than you have money” then you MUST read these 3 simple tips right now. They’ll help you pay yourself first, plus help you quickly increase how much you keep each month.

Do you love the idea of working from home but you’re wondering how to handle distractions such as housework, kids, hubby and friends?
Working from home affords many benefits. Think about it: no traffic, commuting or annoying coworkers. But without the right mix of people contact and structure you can easily fritter away your time without the things you need to show for it, such as new clients and lucrative opportunities.
I’ve run my business from home for nearly ten years — from when I just started to now, as a multi-million dollar business — and would never trade in my home office for a “real” office, no matter how big my business gets.
Here are my favorite secrets for turning your home into what I call, a “success sanctuary.”

Heart centered entrepreneurs like us often feel in conflict about selling via email.
From a business perspective, nothing could be easier than email marketing. Simply gather a few names and email addresses, pop out a few emails and, voila! You’re making sales.
Hear me out on this: email is STILL the best way to add leverage to your business. But, to get the business boosting response you desire requires that you:
- Send more emails than you probably feel comfortable with
- Brush up on your persuasive writing skills
- Learn how NOT to take your results personally
Is it worth it? Absolutely! It’s super exciting to see, with just a few emails, hundreds of people register for your preview call or dozens sign up for your program.
To help you create these kind of exciting results in your business, here are four tips taken directly from my personal vault of “what works” secrets.

The real challenge for the woman entrepreneur isn’t how to deliver a great service but how to find time to market. Most gals prefer to yak on the phone with friends, answer email, wash the dog or run the kids around to soccer practice instead of marketing their business.
Unfortunately, avoiding marketing only leads to feeling guilty or overwhelmed. Or worse, feeling downright scared because you’re ca.sh flow is shriveling up.
If you’re being totally honest you have to admit that the reason you don’t seem to find time to market is because you’re either not sure what the best way is to market your business, you don’t want to feel pushy or inauthentic, you’re not sure where to start or you’re afraid that it won’t work and you’ll have failed.
If any of these reasons are true for you then let me start by reassuring you about something:
You are awesome, amazing and incredible.
Plus, I firmly believe that you wouldn’t have the desire to be an entrepreneur if you didn’t also have the ability to successfully market your business.
All you need is to have the right system that works for you and your style, so you know what to do and when to do it, which will instantly give you a shot of self confidence.
Let me share how I find the time and the confidence to market, even during the busiest of weeks, with these simple tips.
