Hey, it's Rachelā€” If you missed it, I've been surveying you (my audience) to learn what you need and how I can help. A common theme in my survey responses is people's uncertainty about where to start (they lack the right direction and guidance on how to find/observe opportunities). So, today, I'm going to address that question. If you want to be successful in any endeavor (whether that's starting a business or achieving a big goal), I think the best place to start is by researching people who...

Hey, it's Rachelā€” Last week we talked about the beginning of just about anything being hard. This week, I wanted to discuss how to speed up the process and make things easier. Going back to lessons in chemistry, I want to remind you of the concept of a catalyst. What is a catalyst? In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction. For example, it speeds up a reaction or enables it to proceed under milder conditions. In life, this can translate into a person...

Hey, it's Rachelā€” Everyone is looking for things to be easy, but... Being a beginner is hard. Most things in life are simple and can be easy, but you have to put in a lot of energy upfront to get results. For example, in business, once you have a consistent client base and past customers refer you, itā€™s easy! But getting there is hard and takes time. You've got to invest in building relationships. With money, once you have a large pile of investments, compounding interest works its magic, and...

Hey, it's Rachelā€” So, I'm working with a client to help her market her business. She's seen success in the past, but lately, her sales have been going down šŸ“‰, and the way she marketed her business in the past isn't working as well as it used to. We've brainstormed ideas and come up with some pretty good ones. She quickly implemented one of the ideas, but between you and me, what she created wasn't her best work. I responded and shared with her some strategies she can leverage to improve her...

Hey, it's Rachelā€” Did you guys see the Iowa Women's Basketball game on Monday night? I'm not really a basketball fan, and you may not be either. But you've got to pay attention to Caitlin Clark. She's taking women's basketball by storm. Why? She's an all-time leading scorer and is regarded as one of the greatest players in college basketball history. But get this: her shooting percentage is only 47%. In other words, she misses over 50% of the shots she takes. How is she the leading scorer...

Hey, it's Rachelā€” I just got off the phone with one of my friends from college. Get this: After grad school, he started an Amazon business that sold DVDs he found at discount stores. For years, he was doing great. I admired him because he didn't have to have a traditional 9-5 job. But then the world changed, and more competition came into the market, and his Amazon business stopped being profitable. šŸ˜¢ He had to go back to work. He worked at various jobs and made good money for years. He got...

Hey, it's Rachelā€” Control. It's something we all want more of. Have you ever wondered how much control we actually have over our behaviors, our habits, and, ultimately, our lives? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept that might just transform the way you approach this idea of control: Operant Conditioning. Operant Conditioning, a theory developed by B.F. Skinner, is a method of learning that involves rewarding and punishing behavior. It teaches us that we have the power to shape our...

Hey, it's Rachelā€” A few months ago, I mentioned that I put an offer on a house and I would get back to you with an update on how it went. Well, here's the update: still no house. šŸ„“ In fact, to date, we've put offers in on 4 houses with no luck. šŸ˜ Houses in the area we're looking at are going for $50,000 to $300,000 over the asking price. šŸ¤¢ And often, the starting asking price is ridiculous (in my humble opinion). When I'm not crying and feeling bad for myself, I'll use what I learned about...

Hey it's Rachelā€” Want to know one thing Iā€™ve noticed very successful people have in common? Here it is... Theyā€™re voracious readers. A lot of value can be derived from books, but sometimes itā€™s hard to find the time to sit down and read or the room in your budget to buy the books you want. So here are some of my favorite hacks for reading more without breaking the bank. 1: A Library Card + Libby App = Magic I cannot remember the last time I paid for a book. This isnā€™t because I donā€™t read a...
