- Hit 200 subscribers on my #GetGutsy e-newsletter list! I’ve now sent out three emails (with another one scheduled for tomorrow!) and I’m loving the responses I’m receiving from each one. Now, I want to continue growing the list. Are you subscribed yet? Click here to register for twice-monthly emails filled with inspiration, ideas and tips to get out of your comfort zone.
- Watch my little brother graduate from high school! On Thursday, my brother will officially be a high school graduate and he’ll head off to Temple University in the fall. We have a big bash planned for him next weekend, so I’m sure my week will be filled with tasks for that, as well.
- Rock the first full week of the Business Ignition Bootcamp I’m taking part in! Firepole Marketing gave away 200 FREE spots to this awesome (and INTENSE) course; I applied for a spot and was thrilled to learn I was accepted. Now I need to get to work and complete my assignment for the week. Feels like I’m back in school!
