The world has shaken us up with a surprise pandemic and a hard, cold resistance. Let’s face it: if we don’t adapt and conquer these new obstacles, we’ll get washed away, maybe even buried in our own pain.
If you want pivot and produce results, it requires investment: physical, emotional and mental labor. It starts with a healthy mindset. What story are you telling your audience?
More importantly, what story are you telling yourself?
1. What If You Reimagined Your Role?

Today, is the “influencer” era.
More than ever, we really have to be entrepreneurs instead of employees. Why? 72 percent of U.S. entrepreneurs start their businesses at home. The old school system of working for a factory and retiring with benefits is fading fast.
Today there’s a new kid on the block and she’s taking over: the creator.

She creates, serves, influences, learns and leads. Here’s what’s fantastic: most of the time, she does this at home. No matter where you are in your career, there’s always time to pause and re-evaluate.
How are you serving and giving value in a way that empowers your audience?
“Do what you can, with what you have, right where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt
