Decision fatigue is a real thing and it hits many female CEOs, especially if you’re a mom. This comes up a lot in the household. Your spouse will say, “Just tell me what you need me to do” and while they mean well, you’re so overwhelmed, you don’t know how to instruct them or what […]

My coach says, “When you are the bottleneck, it’s time to hire.” This is so true. When things are starting to stack up in your business, it’s often you who is the culprit.  You’re the CEO, right? You’re in charge of it all, right? Wrong. It’s your job to delegate so you can continue doing […]
