  • iPhone Photography, A Dash of Design, and Swedish Death Decluttering EP 72

    07/01/2021 Duración: 51min

    Linda Holt is one the most brilliant people I know. She’s an interior designer and a photographer. She has combined these two loves into teaching interior designers how to photograph their spaces with an iPhone.  We start by talking about how we met and then why to invest in a really great smartphone. When I considered how much a camera cost, add up the cost of film back in the day, and realized that my iPhone could now replace my big heavy DSLR, it became a no brainer.   Fact is if you’re a small business owner, not just designers you need to take great photos. But you also need to be productive about how you get your work out on to social media, so have a system. We also discuss watermarks, copyright, and lighting.  We even foray into Swedish death decluttering. If that doesn’t make you want to tune in, what will?  About  Linda Holt is a Boston based certified color and interior decorating consultant who guides homeowners to decorate their own homes and a former professional photographer who 

  • New Year’s Intentions, Living from Appreciation, and the ShiFtshow EP 71

    31/12/2020 Duración: 30min

    Jennifer Sherwood and I delve deep into how to live life intentionally even, or maybe especially, in the midst of a pandemic. We’ll tell you why New Year’s Intentions fail and how to choose a word of the year.  Jennifer shares her story of celebrating her 50th birthday in a fun way that was nothing at all like she expected. We can still celebrate even if it’s different.  We also focus on what it means to live from appreciation instead of gratitude. And how maybe appreciation is a little easier than feeling grateful when the world is super crazy right now.  We wrap it all up in a bow with the ShiFtshow. I’m still figuring out what that means myself, but tune in because it’s a super cool divine download moment.  About  Jennifer Sherwood works with women who are overwhelmed, feel pulled between work and home, rarely make time for themselves and worry that this is as good as it gets. She helps them move themselves up on the priority list so can build a life they LOVE, not just tolerate. Jen has a m

  • Back to Basics, the Red Velvet Rope Policy, and the Getaway EP 68

    10/12/2020 Duración: 25min

    Lou is so amazing that I just had to bring him back to share his latest and greatest in the world of video marketing. In this episode, we talk all about getting back to the basics in marketing, including the red velvet rope policy which just might be the most important of all.  Lou gets real about the struggle of taking time away from his business and by time away, I mean in a cabin in the woods with, gasp, no technology. I call this being intentionally unproductive. And to really succeed as small business owners we need to completely unplug.  In that time off, magic happened for Lou. He was open to possibilities and seeing his business through fresh eyes, which is how he teamed up with Dawn Doherty to create Digibrand. Tune in for video and marketing gems galore.  Links:   Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port  Marketing Made Simple by Donald Miller  Getaway   About Lou Lou is the video godfather. We're not exactly sure why.

  • MidLife Balance, Focus, and Tiny Pockets of Time EP: 67

    05/12/2020 Duración: 28min

    Today my guest, Jeannie Spiro, and I focus on shifting when your business model is entirely in person and the world is hit with a pandemic. Jeannie’s model for attracting clients has always been in person speaking. I’ve heard her speak several times and attended her 3 day event. Rather than pull the covers over her head, Jeannie used her usual laser focus to determine the next best way, that is in alignment with who she is, to market her business. Jeannie is on a mission to teach midlife women entrepreneurs how to have a lifestyle business. Too often, myself included, we jump into entrepreneurship thinking that it will be so much easier. Then we get so busy servicing our clients, we forget that flexibility and free time was our entrepreneurial goal. We wrap up with a discussion about being deliberate with how you invest your money and your time so that you can have the business and life you deserve.

  • Getting Real about Work Life Integration, Freedom, and the Resilient Entrepreneur Ep: 60

    23/07/2020 Duración: 33min

    Michelle Mercier joins Catherine Avery today on the podcast to discuss how much we hate the term work-life balance. Michelle calls this integration, which makes much more sense when you think of the wheel of life pie chart (link below). It all starts with knowing your values and then living into them.  We bust the myth that being busy is being productive. Productivity comes from unplugging, from taking that quiet break for yourself away from the business. And how this is even more important in a time of a pandemic when we need to do all the things all the time.  We wrap up with a sneak peek into the beauty that is Michelle’s brand new podcast The Resilient Entrepreneur.
