Creating Space · August 2024 · Vol. 6 When Preparation Meets Opportunity, You're Unstoppable Welcome What are You Preparing for? "Preparation" is a funny word to me. On most days, I'm like a boy scout: always prepared. 🤣 I guess that's the organizer in me. That being said, I rarely know what I am preparing for... it's often a bit fuzzy. There are hints here and there, sure, but nothing concrete. But then seemingly from out of nowhere, a new opportunity opens up. And I take it. Every time. A...

Creating Space · July 2024 · Vol. 5 Why Your Intuition Helps in Long-Term Strategic Planning Welcome How Intuitive are You? I'm asking because I'd truly love to know. My intuition has long been the main factor in how I make decisions, for good or bad. That's how I knew I had to go to California in June. I could sense that this was going to be one of those life-changing trips that I would one day look back on and cherish as a pivot point in my life. And now that I'm back home, I can already...

I don’t know about you, but I notice a significant dropoff in client engagement during the summer months. ☀️ My audience is heavily US- and Canada-based, which means that the weather has a big effect on my website traffic, and therefore conversion numbers. After having been cooped up for months inside, people are eager to get outside... not sit in front of a computer. Understandably so. But what does this mean for me? 🤔 Well, I have to take this seasonal drop into account when planning my...

Creating Space · May 2024 · Vol. 3 When Quiet Productivity is the Most Powerful Use of Your Time Welcome It's Just the Tip of the Iceberg.

Creating Space · April 2024 · Vol. 2 Why Your Ideal Life Pace is a True Measure of Success Welcome How Do We Best Measure Success? I’m an island girl by heart. Every time I’m on an island somewhere – whether its O’ahu, New Providence, Puerto Rico, or even Iceland – I feel infinitely comfortable. There’s something about it that draws me back. You’d think it’d be the climate, but no. Iceland wouldn’t be included in the grouping if it was… There’s just something about the lifestyle that suites...

Aloha Reader, How well did Q1 treat you and your business? Sure, it's a loaded question, but it's one worth answering. If you're not sure how to reply, I can reveal the answer I'm looking for: "Amazing, Caroline - I can't believe all the wonderful progress that happened!"

There could be a variety of reasons for...
