Start your week right! Every Sunday I post my favorite links from around the web and share my goals for the upcoming week.
Links
On Productivity:
Mastering The Art of “Just Start”: Ah! This article by Jane Porter totally helps me understand why I procrastinate. She speaks of how our brains love busy work and that often keeps us from completing our more important tasks. I can *totally* relate.
On Entrepreneurship:
Why Don’t You Do Some Damn Work?: YESSSS to all of this from Peter Shankman. Being 1.5 months into my own solopreneurship journey, I’m not quite at Shankman level (#goals) but I can relate to the way some people react when I tell them what I’m doing.
100 Best Sites for Solopreneurs, 2016 Edition: Nominations are Open: Yay! One Woman Shop is bringing back its popular 100 Best Sites for Solopreneurs. I was lucky enough to be included last year. Go ahead and nominate your favorite blogs for consideration until 3/25 (I wouldn’t hateeee it if you nominated this very blog) 😉
On Freelancing:
SEO Case Study: How to Attract More Freelance Clients Than You Can Handle: Carrie Smith from Careful Cents is truly amazing; this case study blew my mind and I can’t wait to try some of her tactics.

Hustle Hard: It All Comes Down to Personal Branding: I spoke at Temple PRSSA’s annual Invitational. My session “Hustle Hard: Promoting Yourself & Your Business” dove deep into personal branding & storytelling. If you missed it, here’s a recap!
Goals
- Complete drafting my revised Personal Branding Checklist. My goal is to re-launch the checklist and my personal branding sessions by the end of March, so I’m getting down to the wire here!
- I did well with my goal of running outside twice last week, so I’d like to set that one again to keep the momentum going! Hello, warmer weather!
