We’re the experts but sometimes we need to look internally at our business or ourselves to make sure that we’re using our own talents. We sometimes forget that WE are the experts! Don’t forget to turn our own skills on ourselves. Candace Schilling and I chat about how we can ‘Mind our own business’ and take a look at our own business from the inside out.

Candace Schilling – Writer and Editor
As a writer, editor and writing coach, I work primarily with motivational speakers, coaches and authors.
I help people find the words to finish creative projects they care about. I’m in the Inspiration Business!
Think about your own website for a minute. Is your website, including its content, as dynamic and powerful as you are? Are you proud of it?
I’ve met website designers and developers whose websites are broken or outdated. I’ve seen photographers without a good headshot, who specialize in headshots!
I love helping entrepreneurs solve this problem because, for years, I was the writer with nothing to say for herself. I had no website. I wasn’t telling people about my two decades of communication experience as a writer, editor, trainer and strategist, including more than 9 years with State Farm.
I did great work for my customers as a freelance writer and editor, but I had “creative laryngitis” about my own business. Entrepreneurs often give their best work to their clients. It’s time to confront our potential, to unfold into our greatness.
Full wingspan. Deep joy.
Words build relationships. When your messages are heartfelt and authentic, they energize you and your work. The words we choose when talking about ourselves or our business can move us, and, as entrepreneurs, our business will change as we do.

Quick Picks
Marion – Bury the Hatchet – Roswell, Ga https://burythehatchet.com/atlanta/
Their website sums it up: “Come learn how to throw an axe from a trained professional before playing in a tournament style game with your friends. Tournaments are similar to playing a game of darts or bowling – except way more fun and exciting.” Throw axes. At a wall. With an axe….YEAH!
AND I wont the overall tournament with an awesome trophy on my mantel.
Candace – Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones WH1000XM2
Automatically detects your activity, whether you’re travelling in an airport, walking on a crowded street, or sitting in a quiet area — then balances the noise cancelling levels accordingly. You can customize them to your preferences with the Sony I Headphones Connect App.
These headphones are her go-to and she cannot help but rave about these! One story she told me about these headphones is the power to “…drown out 2 pressure washers outside…” They also have a touch pad that allows you to do a quick “pause” mode on the noise cancelling. You’ve also have an option of ambient sound turned on That’s pretty slick!
