How well do you know your worth?
In this fan favorite replay episode, I want to tell you a story.
I recently had an exchange that left me with a better understanding of what it means to know your worth and what you bring to the table. As you’ll hear in the episode, it left me pretty stunned for a moment, but I’m really proud of how I handled it, and I want to share that with you.
Want to know how I handled it so well? Because I know my own worth and I’m confident in what I bring to the table. That’s what I want for you too!
If this is something you struggle with (trust me, we’ve all been there), I hope this episode helps!

If you answered yes to either question then this episode is for you!
In this fan-favorite replay episode, my dear friend Judy Buddensick and I discuss the importance of partnering with your clients and supporting your community.
Judy is extremely passionate about helping small businesses grow. She opened the Frances Marketing Group in February 2017 which is a full-service media and marketing agency that provides solutions and ideas tailored to each client’s specific needs and goals.
Judy is also extremely passionate about volunteerism and community service. She has sponsored over 100 Midshipmen from the Naval Academy, is on the Board of Directors of the Downtown Annapolis Partnership and produces the annual Midnight Madness holiday events. She also serves on the Board of the Annapolis Police Foundation and The Annapolis Police Scholarship Fund. In response to the pandemic, she was part of the team that became known as the Annapolis Backpack Collaborative. They raised $40,000 to buy desperately needed school supplies for 2500 students in the City of Annapolis!
I hope this episode with Judy inspires you to stay deeply connected to your community whether the business owners in it are your clients or not.

The last thing any business owner wants is a bad review. Sometimes they help us to grow and improve our client experience. But what if someone is just being mean?
In this episode, I’m talking about how to handle an unwarranted negative review based on a recent personal experience.
As business owners, we can’t always share our side of the story. So when we come across a negative review that isn’t exactly deserved, it can leave us feeling emotional and hurt.
I’m sharing how to approach this situation with a mindset that keeps you thriving and helps you focus on improving your business.
In Today’s Episode We Discuss:
How to approach a negative review with a positive mindset
Why responding to reviews builds credibility
Approaching negative reviews in a way that can help your business
