The start of the year has come and gone, and with it came some harsh realities about starting a business.
I don’t know about you, but I found it incredibly difficult to get back into the swing of things after the holidays. When I started to set my goals for the year, I felt discouraged instead of excited.
I’ve been taking things step by step, working really hard, and I’m so passionate about what I’m doing, but things aren’t moving as quickly as I’d like them to.Continue Reading
You’re stuck. You really want to move forward in your business but you’ve come to a barrier that you just can’t seem to get past on your own. You’ve tried everything that you can think of but it…won’t…budge.

Have you ever felt as though you were heading in the right direction…and then something burst your bubble? My latest startup confession may sound familiar.

,Growing up in America, Halloween was one of my favourite occasions. It was so much fun to carve pumpkins, watch scary movies, go on a haunted hayride, eat a sickly amount of candy corn, and wear a costume that would be the envy of all my friends!
During my final year of high school, my friend and I dressed up as giant M&Ms and somehow managed to win the prize for “best costume”.
