Sh*t is hitting the fan a bit, isn’t it, with this pandemic? And frankly, all these cozy “how to work from home” posts just aren’t matching my mood. Oh, hmmm, just set up a working-from-home desk, you say? Continue to work from 9-5, is that it? Put on a real outfit...

I didn't have time to fool around the internet trying out a bunch of vague advice.

Then I was invited to an event called PLAY BIG! with @csecoaching
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This event changed everything.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about money.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about showing up for my clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about business models.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about marketing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about sales.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It felt like the online business puzzle was snapping together in my brain. I just got it, finally.
