You are in charge of managing your own experience in the world!  It’s so refreshing to know that we can speak up to create a better experience for ourselves. Feeling stressed? Say so! Need more time to do something important for yourself or your kids? Say no to that other demand vying for your attention! Here’s the thing: how we maneuver through business/work can have a direct impact on how we show up in life.  Business coaching can reveal more of WHO we are outside of our professional careers than we initially thought possible. On today’s episode of “And She Spoke,” we talk about leadership and shaking things up through business with Devon Brooks. She is an entrepreneur, coach, and the founder of Sphere —”her second venture”— a marketplace platform for personal and professional coaching. We discuss all the ideas she’s built her business around: Dematerializing an industry Being inherently more inclusive  Leadership as a vessel for impact  The accessibility and affordability of coaching Female entrepreneurs are challenged every day —especially if you’re a single parent or struggling to find your own work-life balance. Once we become better at managing our own experiences, we can discover more of what we need for ourselves. If you’re ready to do that… you’re in the right place! Here’s a peek at what else we discuss: Running a Brick & Mortar business vs. a Software Platform Being catapulted to leadership at 20 years old How a pandemic affected moving forward in business Benefits of a remote team Stress management/sleep Single parent responsibilities  Resources: Devon Brooks on LinkedIn Sphere  Sphere App Blo – Blow Dry Bar Sign up for a Sphere membership and receive 10% off your first 3 months.

Know Your Numbers In our business, we're big fans of financial literacy and accountability. Knowing your numbers is an essential aspect of building a successful business and inherent responsibility for any entrepreneur. What you focus on grows, so pay attention to your money. We use Bench for our bookkeeping. It's simple, elegant, and saves us so many hours that would otherwise be spent neck-deep in receipts on the other side of a spreadsheet. Each month our transactions are automatically imported into Bench and we get on-demand financial reports. We even enjoy opening up our profit and loss statement to review each month. When tax time comes around, we are up to date and ready to go. And this is what Financial Empowerment feels like. Use this link to save 20% off your Bench Accounting plan for the first six months!
