Aloha Friends,

It’s been a week over here—between setting up a new phone (why is it never as easy as it sounds?), figuring out a new platform, and clipping this one gorgeous rose with four blooms (yes, four!) for my desk, I’m officially craving a slower, quieter week.

One of the things I absolutely love about working with entrepreneurs like you is hearing your real stories—the behind-the-scenes of your journey, the highs, the messy middles, the systems that help you stay productive, and the "why" that keeps you going. So, I’ve put together 5 super quick questions to learn a bit more about you and your business. You’ll find them in the P.S. below—I’d love to hear your story.

Check out on instagram.

FINDING TIME TO FOCUS ON YOUR GOALS

I love helping clients set 90-day goals and break them down into doable steps in my 90-Day Goals Playbook!. But let’s be honest—running a business and managing life often leaves little room to focus on those goals.

That’s why I loved revisiting my VIDEO SERIES ON ENTREPRENEURS WORKING FROM HOME. In my interview with Grace Keahouhou Hao, she reminded me of a strategy I’ve used for years: finding small pockets of time—10, 15, or 20-minute gaps throughout the day—and using them with intention.

When the opportunity presents itself, you don’t have to waste time figuring out what to do – you already know!

The key? Be ready. Have a list of quick, goal-focused tasks you can do anytime:

Send a follow-up
Write a short post
Check in with a client
Set a reminder

Grace now schedules 15-minute tasks between calls—and stays committed. That commitment creates momentum.

Remember: life won’t always go as planned, but how you respond matters. Tiny time slots can be powerful if you’re prepared.

So what can YOU do in 10 minutes? Make your list. Get clear. Be ready.

Because yes—you really can grow your business in just 10-20 minutes a day.

Until next week.

PS: I'd love to hear from YOU! Your experience matters—and it may even help someone else feel less alone on their journey.
