I help service-based business owners get the focus they need to grow and scale their business without all the stress and overwork.

The problem with trying to grow or scale a service-based business is there's no clear path forward, and it's hard to know what’s working and what’s not.

How can we curb the economic fallout of the......... "She-Cession"?

·
Written by Tracey Watts Cirino

Women have lost jobs at a higher rate than men, and have been more impacted by the pandemic than men, according to data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau

The most recent Women in the Workplace Report by management consultants McKinsey & Company found, for the first time, that 1 in 4 women was considering stepping out of the workforce or downshifting their careers. This study of 40,000 employees concluded that if every woman who was considering quitting her job or reducing her workload actually did so, two million women would exit the US workforce. Women in senior roles, working mothers, and women of color were most at risk.

How to Stop Lying to yourself!

·
Written by Tracey Watts Cirino

Ever wake up after getting plenty of sleep and yet you feel exhausted?  After feeling this way, you realize that something has to radically change, but you aren't sure exactly what.

The first thing to do is be very strong and courageous and not lie to yourself.

  • Ask yourself what is working?
  • What is not working?
  • Is there a gap between where I want to be and where I currently am in my business?

If you need to go outside of your inner circle for that, then that's when you need to do to get a really honest answer and not lie to yourself. You can hire a coach or get an accountability partner outside of your friend circle. We are just not designed  to point those things out to ourselves, that is why they are called "blind spots." We all have them in both our personal and professional business life.

Trust me if you already knew how to do it, you would have done it.

Have you considered setting up an advisory board for your business?

I am a huge advocate for advisory boards. I have always used them in all of my businesses and I truly believe they are a key link to achieving long-term and sustainable success in your business.

Less than 2.5 percent of all venture capital goes to women and many female business owners face systemic challenges in building their businesses.  Scaling a business can be a lonely and challenging endeavor, especially without a deep talent pool to assist. Now, however, many organizations are stepping in to eliminate barriers to success.

Written by Tracey Watts Cirino

If you don't take the time to reflect on this and learn from your mistakes, it is going to show up again and again in an uglier way, in a different way until you actually learn the lesson. 😂😂😂😂

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they’re planning and goal setting is not to take the time to learn from their mistakes. It takes a lot of courage, it takes tremendous heart. It takes you not bullshitting yourself. It takes you not lying to yourself and having the courage to dig deep enough to realize, you know what, this is my fault and I own it! 

If you need help getting clarity and focus and starting a practice of reflection.

What was Mindy Kaling doing with 3,000 other business owners ?

·
Written by Tracey Watts Cirino
Mindy Kaling was amazing, as usual. She explained  how having confidence has been something that she always had because she always put the work in. That was an interesting take from a Hollywood person that has accomplished so much and learned so much. I appreciated that because no matter what success someone has achieved there is usually a lot of hard work put in somewhere and that is not always what we see on our Instagram highlight reels. So I found that really refreshing to hear from such a major Hollywood Star!
