In today's episode I share my top book list, but not just any books these are the top 5 (really there are 6) books I would tell anyone especially entrepreneurial women to read even before getting started. These are the books that will help you wrap your mind around what are you going to sell, how to really see and believe what you're working for can work, how to get over (or at least work with your corporate mindset, and a whole bunch more.

In today’s episode, I talk about how it’s going now that we are in full swing with the Kickstarter Campaign for My SEO Workbook. As I was researching Kickstarter and crowdfunding campaigns, I found a lot about how to set it up your campaign but very little about how to make it through the campaign and what to do once you hit the launch button.

Today, I share how my journey is going and what you can and should do during your campaign.

I share my promotion strategy, how I’ve done PR for the campaign and hired PR expert Jasmine Powers (jasminepowers.com) who wrote an amazing press release for the campaign, what I’ve done to keep engaged,  who you should target with your press release and just all the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Time Managment is like a dirty word for working mothers who are trying to live the business owner, entrepreneur, employedpreneur life. There are never enough hours in a day and many of us struggle to get ahead while holding it all together. In today's episode I give my answer to the dreaded questions "how do you get it all done?" and "how do I find time to grow a profitable business" I break down 6 of the lessons I've learned working on this over the years and share a ton of resources to help you work smarter and not harder in your business. Hopefully, there is even one that will make your day and biz life a little easier. Here's a list of the business tools I mentioned

• Acuity

Have you been looking for ways to raise money to get your new product or idea our there? Have you considered crowdfunding but not sure if it right or how to make it work for you? In this episode, I kick off a three-part series on Kickstarter and using Kickstarter to raise money for my upcoming book launch.

Part 2 I’ll release about a week or 2 into the campaign to let you know how all of my planning worked, what the launch is like and answer your questions. And Part 3 will be out in October where I’ll do a full recap and lessons learned from me kick starter journey. I’m excited about sharing this journey with you guys and helping more of my listeners get on the kick starter journey.
