I believe it’s never too late to start living a dream. I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR.”

Welcome to Episode 39: Is Perfection Your Enemy

Perfection is the enemy of happiness. Instead, we should be trying to embrace being perfectly imperfect.

Yes, I it’s good to analyze what we’re doing with our business from time to time, so we don’t get stuck in what I like to call a “rinse n’ repeat” mode -- which is truly the enemy of productivity. We shouldn’t (and can’t) be perfect at anything even though the land of social makes it seem like life is always floating around

Welcome to Episode 37: Client “Rules” You Should Break

We believe that developing amazing long-term relationships with clients means one is more likely to receive repeat business and great testimonials. The more satisfied the client, the higher the chance they will recommend your business and offerings to a colleague, leading to new business.

That being said, we've recently noticed a lot of blogs, podcasts, LinkedIn posts and other virtual goodies floating around about “how to have happy, long-lasting business relationships with clients” so one can continue to send those monthly invoices. They are not wrong, but it makes me feel as though people may be afraid to talk about the flipside … you know what I’m talking about … those clients from hell!

There's oh so many things one can do to keep the client happy, but what some don't realize is that there are also a handful of client "rules" one can break that keep both sides successfully happy …

Welcome to Episode 36: How To “Untangle” Your Mindset

Starting your business is like growing a garden. You must first invest your time and money. Then, you must take care of it while expecting nothing in return. (Often a lot longer than you think!) However, when everything finally blossoms, it makes all the hard work and patience worthwhile.

But it’s not just about those behaviours … it’s also about our expectations vs. reality, which once again boils down to something else ... our MINDSET!

Welcome to Episode 35: The Ghosts We Once Knew

GHOSTING! It’s a real thing in the business world.

That’s right folks, just like the culture of “swiping right” on Tinder and all those other dating apps, ghosting isn’t just for the dating world anymore … It has spilled over into the professional aspect of our lives, with negative

It’s not hard to search for subtext when you get no response, and your inbox is hearing crickets. And if you’re anything like me, your brain takes you in a million different directions, none of them happy ones. You keep racking your brain as to “what did I do wrong?” thus ending in sleepless nights trying to figure things out that are well out of your control as you don’t want to feel like this EVER AGAIN!

Welcome to Episode 34: The Ultimate Guide To Client Relationships

We’re baaaack …. with some more “untangling” Digital Glue podcast episodes for the last quarter of the year. We had some time to ponder during our mini summer break. And we wanted to start with a few episodes about something WE ALL deal with every. single. day.

CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS!

Whether in your day job (hopefully you’ve left there by now and migrated into the amazing land of entrepreneurialism) or working in your own business, have you ever run into a slump of working with the “wrong” people?

Clients who don’t understand your personality? Value your traits or expertise? Take you for granted? Expect you to be available on all devices at every hour of the day? And just plain ‘ol drain you emotionally?

These pain points can be a real downer. And sometimes make one wonder … why even bother? (*le sigh!)

I could sit here all day and share all of Virtually Untangled’s client “horror stories” with you from over the years -- and many more from my time in the land of 9-5 -- but then this would turn into an award-winning novel (HaHa!) instead of an “untangling” podcast episode. So instead, I am going to take the hard-earned lessons from those stories and share some details alongside a list of the greatest tips you will ever need to know in order to help you find your dream client(s). And ease those nasty pain points of the ones who aren’t.

Welcome to Episode 33: How To Persevere Through Tough Times

Let’s get serious … Right off the hop … We’ve all experienced a lot of hard times in business. Especially since March of last year when the world was stunned on a global scale with COVID-19! Myself and my team included.

Even before the pandemic, Virtually Untangled has certainly helped a lot of our “tangled” clients get through some pretty dark days. But from these experiences we learn to adapt, grow, and figure out new ways to not only survive, but thrive in the “big bad” world of business. All the while learning what we can do better at next time

Welcome to Episode 32: Habits of Highly Organized People …

When you own your own business being organized is a key factor to accomplishing success. But for me and millions of other scatter-brained business owners, how so we organize our chaotic worlds?

There is always an ever-running to-do list, new ideas and goals around every corner, last minute client projects, email to tend to, passwords to remember, professional development seminars and webinars … and seriously, this list could go on for days. I don’t know about you, but some days I feel I need a compass because my mind is wandering in a million different directions -- and also usually wandering a thousand miles away …!

It’s true, you really don’t need fancy products or a humungous team of consultants and workers bees to help you get your act together. And keep it together. BOOST YOUR OWN PRODUCTIVITY by creating a system which can be based on these simple yet essential cornerstones of success …. Through organization!

The term project management used to have me shaking in my shoes! I am the type of person who sometimes takes on one too many projects at a time because I have so many goals to fulfill my bigger picture. But then one day I sat down to sort out of brain onto one of my trusty to-do lists and realized it’s not about how many projects I have on my plate to complete, whether short or long-term, but HOW I plan to attack them all.
