It’s a new year, darling.
Did you feel the shift when the clock gently ticked over from 2011 to 2012?
I did.
It was like a huge sigh of relief.
Like a releasing, a letting-go.
It was like I finally let the mantle of last year fall off my shoulders and puddle in the floor.
And I stepped out o... Comment - Like

Today I want you to know how much I love you. And I want you to know that I see you.
I want you to know that your pain was not for nothing.
I want you to understand that your struggles defined your character; they chipped away at the precious gem of your true self, and polished those parts of you ... Comment - Like

What’s that sound? Crickets? Again?
You’ve noticed this trend lately, haven’t you: your launches are light, list signups are down to nearly nothing, and nobody wants your amazing, life-changing products.
It feels like nobody is listening to you.
It’s terrifying, isn’t it.

Excellence is the practice of doing your best, all the time.
Excellence is pushing yourself to the brink and beyond, in the name of your great work.
Excellence means tying up the loose ends, following the trail your customers take to be sure they won’t get lost.

I am old.
I am the same as I was, but I will never be the same.
My name is Rhiannon, and I am an entrepreneur. I want to change the world with love – and I already have. My legacy surrounds me. With every person I touch, it grows.

You cannot get what you want without risk.
Risk is intrinsic to life: in love, in business, in every aspect of who we are, we must risk something to get something else (someone else, somewhere else) that matters.
We spend a lot of time trying to avoid risk. We don’t want to be afraid. We don’t... Comment - Like

Throughout the collective consciousness of the entrepreneurs I know right now, the topic of rest is coming up.
More than that, it’s demanding to be heard. Our bodies and our minds want us to listen and to cherish who and what we are, by giving ourselves the rest we truly need.

Something that has happened to me, to my perception of the world, since my husband and I separated because of his violence: I am now allergic to even the merest hint of violence.

When nobody understands what you stand for, nobody will buy from you.
So, in terms of harsh reality, if you brand is confusing, you won’t make money.

There is something about our sense of self-worth that informs our need to DIY every step of the business process, even when to do so is to accept mediocrity simply because it saves us time or money.

I’ll be completely, totally, unashamedly honest with you.
I feel very uncomfortable talking about the difference between a $1,200 website and a $10,000 website.
Mostly, this is because I used to charge $1,200 for a website. Hell, I used to charge $500 for a website and feel relief when the clie... Comment - Like

It’s a beautiful old hymn that I used to sing in church when I was a girl. I can still hear the tinny piano music and the voices of the sweet older ladies, earnestly harmonizing together to make a beautiful haunting sound on a Sunday morning.
