If you visit my site regularly, you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t been doing blog posts lately. I have always taken a break from writing blog posts in the summer so that I can spend more time with whichever daughter may be home. Our door seems to always be revolving, and you never know who may show up when.
Recently, though, I began to feel a desire to try something new, something scary. I enjoyed writing blogs, but it just wasn’t as fun as it had once been. Being a big believer in listening to the cues that your body and mind give you, I began to consider ways that I could still help my audience if I wasn’t writing a blog.
Ever since the end of 2020, I had been toying with the idea of doing Facebook Lives. Guess what? I’ve jumped in and that’s where you can find me sharing ideas and content about business operations. So let me tell you what you can expect.
I sat down one day and came up with over 50 different ideas of what I could talk about in the areas of finances, operations, team growth, client experience, product development, visibility, and self development. So I’ll be doing a Facebook Live on my Facebook business page once each week on Wednesdays. I don’t have a set time because I still need flexibility in my schedule. But for new content, this is where you can go now.
My goal is to add a quick blog post each month outlining the topics I discussed the previous month. So here’s what I talked about in September.

September 22, 2021 – How to Identify the SOPs You Need to Write
I recently had a client who had a list of SOPs she wanted written. The only problem was that she knew there were many more, yet she was struggling to identify them. Watch as I walk you through the process I used with this client to identify 30 more SOPs for her product based business.
