This post is almost 4 weeks late... but still worth sharing what I learned in my first year in business. (To be clear, this is not my first year of blogging or coaching...just my first year of doing it full time knowing I'd never go back to my old career.) Backstory: Though blogging since 2010 and coaching since 2011, I didn't leave the 9-5 world until 2012 before Rohan was born. I was planning to return to corporate america but then...Kaya. I didn't want to go back to a day job but then ...
How Do You Make Money Online?
I have been debating whether or not to post this piece but someone shared a piece with me today about how quitting your job to be your own boss is BS and I figured this was the day to share this. I'm not linking to the piece because I don't want to contribute to the pageviews of the author's negativity. How Do You Make Money Online? This is one of the top questions I'm asked and I am happy to answer it as it relates to me. I used to include "the internet and making money from it" on my ...
What I’m Working On
WAHMMING aint easy... I've said it before and I'll likely say it again. Even though it's not easy, it's the best move for me.

That, coupled with reading a part of the book The Beauty of an Ugly Start by blogalicious speaker Ella Rucker got me all in my feels about getting some ...
What To Do Before You Quit Your Job
So I got such a sweet response to the post I Quit My Job To Do What I Love and I’m so happy to hear that so many of you want to do the same! I’m definitely pro-doing what the hell you wanna do…. but in a smart way. Saying ‘to hell with this’ and up and leaving your job impulsively may feel good in the moment, but without solid footing, a strong plan, backup resources etc… you may be setting yourself up for a fall. I have two children a husband and a mortgage that need to be considered ...
I Quit My Job To Do What I Love
It's been a year since this post - Click here to see what I've learned since then! I put in my resignation letter last week. (My boss came up right behind me as I was typing it, LOL!) I am super excited to say that: Today was my last day working a 9-5 job. My day job was working as a CEO’s assistant. Something I’ve done for about 10 years or so. I can’t stand it, but really, the pay is great (well, at least in NY it is) for doing work that doesn’t require much other than common sense, ...
