Follow through for YOU
Accountability is powerful. It is about doing what you say you are going to do.
Accountability is on steroids when you add a partner or community!
These relationships provide you with the support you need to follow through.
When you define realistic goals, share them with your accountability partner(s), and support each other to follow through, you will want to be prepared to succeed - because it will happen!

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
I love the children's book If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. Not only because I'm fond of chocolate chip cookies but also because I can relate to the experience of the mouse going for a cookie, needing milk, and somehow cleaning his entire house before passing out for a nap.

Back to the (old) office? Or…maybe, not!
COVID19 vaccines are distributed daily and the scientific community is optimistic that herd immunity in our future. This optimism is sparking conversations about getting back to normal, especially at work. For some, this is exciting while others are not ready to dust off their dress-pants, shine their high heels, and pack their briefcases to head to their cubicles.
Will your employer require you to return to the office in person? Whether you're sure that resuming your commute is in your future and you will return to your "old normal," or your answer is "sometimes," or your shrugging your shoulders and thinking, "That's a good question..." it's time to reflect on what you want moving forward.

What are your thoughts about hybrid work models?
Mine... well, for me, it's clear... for hybrid models to work well, leaders must view them as fully remote models and plan their policies and procedures accordingly.
With some team members co-located in the office and others working from remote locations, careful attention to detail is essential to maintain a healthy workplace culture, inclusive and clear communication, and maximizing productivity.
This is not to say hybrid models can't work - they can! The question is how to implement a hybrid model effectively.
I’m sharing 5 tips for companies to successfully operate with a hybrid model.

Do Your Job Posts Attract The Best Remote Workers?
As it is increasingly clear that remote work is here to stay and there is increasing demand and comfort for professionals to work from anywhere, it’s no secret that companies must be competitive to attract top talent. Whether hiring for a contract or an employee role, it’s clear that being remote-friendly is the way to go. Many of the best and brightest professionals are comfortable working from home (or wherever they want), expect to continue working remotely, and several recent studies show that remote workers are happier, stay for longer, and report better productivity.
These are all important factors, especially when you consider that hiring a new team member can cost $4,000 or more. This estimate includes time and money from listing the job to interviewing candidates, and ultimately onboarding them. With this in mind, how can you be sure to attract the best remote workers, especially when you may never (or rarely) see them?
The key here is to write eye-catching job posts to spark your ideal candidates’ interest and then getting in front of the right people at the right time. If this sounds a lot like marketing, then you are right on the money. Marketing is exactly what a job post should feel like, simply with a different target audience.

8 Reasons Freelancers Should Offer Test Projects For Online Jobs
Congratulations on landing an interview for one of the online jobs you pitched! Whether you’re talking to someone about a new full-time remote gig or taking them on as a new client, getting face time is a huge first step. However, even if after that conversation, you feel optimistic about working together, it’s always a good idea for freelancers to offer test projects before committing to a long-term relationship.
Why test projects are essential for online jobs
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes about taking on a test project, think again. We’re going to dig into these test projects in more detail here to show you exactly why they’re as beneficial for you as an entrepreneur or remote worker as they are for the company considering hiring you.

The Art of Follow Up in 5 Simple Steps
As remote professionals, we should all know by now that the first rule of sales is to be authentic. After all, people can sense the difference between working to make a sale and working to serve needs and solve problems. But to close business, you need more than “just” a great service and great clients. You need a strong sales process. And, if you practice the art of the follow up, you’ll set yourself apart from the competition.
Picture this. Your dream client finds you - whether through referral, through your sales funnel, or because you pitch them directly - and you get the opportunity to connect with them on a call. Let’s say that the call goes well, and you’re picking up on all sorts of signals that tell you this will be a fantastic client relationship. You hang up feeling great about things and you send out a great proposal.
But what happens next? Ideally, you want to book them while you’re on the call, but we all know that it’s not always possible for a variety of reasons.

The Power of the Collective
A Mastermind group is a collective of individuals who meet regularly to discuss and brainstorm through challenges and growth in their businesses. Napoleon Hill describes the concept of a mastermind in his book, Think and Grow Rich, saying, “no two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind.”
The power of the collective is harnessed in a mastermind group because everyone gets a chance to come to the table with their thoughts and problems and can expect a collaborative discussion that has them walking away with new ideas, points to ponder, and ways of thinking.
