It’s Time To Get Intentional With Your Business

April 22, 2018 by Danyelle Little

One of the questions that I get the most is “how do you manage your multiple businesses?”. The answer is rather long, but one of the secrets as to why I’ve been able to do well running my empire is that I am very intentional with my actions.

Being intentional means being able to be laser focused on daily tasks and duties. I stay organized and on top of things with a business journal that I created a few years ago. Because there are so many of you who want to go full-time on your entrepreneurial endeavor, or you are trying to grow your side-hustle, I am sharing my Daily Business Journal with you. This is the very thing that I utilize each workday.

Just like you use a journal to write down thoughts, feelings, ideas, etc., this journal allows you to do the same, but with your business in mind.

Be a Problem Solver

June 8, 2016 by Danyelle Little

For years, I struggled with finding my true voice as it relates to my personal brand. I’ve always managed to stay on message as a Work Life Management expert and working parent advocate, but it wasn’t until I understood being valuable to my readers that I began to harness my full potential. To create a movement that resonates, you must serve. And to do that, you must be a problem solver.

When you solve problems effectively, efficiently, and consistently, you will be able to monetize your message and your voice.

Think about yourself, personally. You probably pay for goods and services that solve problems and help make your life easier. If you don’t have a lot of time to clean your home, you hire a housekeeper. If you need a ride to the airport and don’t want to pay for long term parking, you book an Uber. If your child needs help with math and your skills aren’t up to par, you pay for a tutor. You do so because they help you solve a problem which can make your life less stressful.

My Word for 2016: Expansion

January 1, 2016 by Danyelle Little

Since moving forward as a displaced career woman turned Mompreneur and Digital Debutante, I have selected a word of vision as I move into a new year. For 2016, the stakes are higher, and so are my goals. Because of this journey and the steps taken to get here, I am living a life I never knew I could. But not one for complacency or comfortability, I want to up the ante once and again and challenge myself to embark on new soil. So after a lot of thought and careful self-reflecting, I’ve chosen expansion as my word for 2016.

Why expansion?

Merriam Webster defines expansion as the act of becoming bigger or making something bigger. I want to super size my ambition, and in doing that, create more opportunities that I can spread my wings creatively and professionally. I want to add more titles to my name. I want to truly gamble on something that could be a game changer. But most of all, I want to help other working parents thrive, grow, and succeed.

So what does expansion look like to me, you may ask.

Here are a few examples of just some of the plans I have for the upcoming year (I am listing these not out of ego, but for accountability):

Cut My Mic Off Please.

November 16, 2015 by Danyelle Little

I’ve come to realize that now that I am 40, even though I am a huge people person with a strong and vibrant outgoing personality, I am very much a loner.

I enjoy truly spending time by myself (I think it’s the only child in me). Some people think this is because I am standoffish or stuck up, self-centered, or just insensitive, but I like my space. I like having time to myself. I spend so much time “on” with my blog and online business endeavors, that when I get an opportunity to unplug for real, it’s cut my mic off please time.

We’ve got to remember this as we go about our daily lives running our empires. In our quest to be the hottest thing on the web, we can forget that it’s okay to go somewhere and be quiet for awhile. Everyone will be there when you get back, and you will have a chance to make much needed logged-off moments. If someone really needs you, they will reach out to you. And if you miss something, you can totally catch up when you log back in.
