MARCH SHOUTOUT
LET'S TALK ABOUT WOMEN EMPOWERING WOMEN

Happy Women's Month!
 
I’m so proud to celebrate with so many other women all through this month. So many have paved the way and I’m constantly inspired and in awe of all that we women hold and juggle.  I would never be where I am right now in any aspect of my life had I not felt inspired, led, guided and taught by so many critical and key women along my journey.  To all of you (and you know who you are) I say THANK YOU!!!!
 
My article this month is on two awesome women who demonstrate why collaboration is much better than competition and below is a solid list of some of my favorite female clients and friends with businesses doing such cool stuff in the world. I encourage you to check them out, click the links, hire them, support them and while you’re at it – give your favorite woman a hug this month!

 My Latest Article
Collaboration Over Competition
  
In this month's Santa Barbara Independent, I share the story behind the unlikely friendship of Santa Barbara mortgage agents Austin Lampson and Kelly Marsh. Even when competing within the same market, Austin & Kelly prove that empowered women do indeed empower others. I've been lucky enough to work with both Austin and Kelly's teams and couldn't be prouder of both of their successes.

What I'm Listening To
The Tender Bar Soundtrack
  
I watched this movie randomly one Sunday afternoon and while the movie was great, I absolutely loved the soundtrack – such a fun mix of old and eclectic music!

Takeaway Tool
A Friendly Reminder to Plan!
  
Remember to plan ahead as much as possible – every minute you spend planning saves you 10 in execution.
 
3 ways to do this:
EWO (End Your Day With Order): spend 15 minutes at the end of the day planning ahead for tomorrow.
Friday 45: Spend 45 minutes every Friday planning ahead for next week, for example confirming meetings, blocking time for the big rocks, even blocking out time for critical things like lunch. 
Weekly 1:1 meetings with your key team members: look ahead and see what’s coming, what needs to be blocked out to work on together, and if you’re all on track for KPIs and goals.
