Every year I pick a defining word. Last year I had a doubleheader – kindness and service. It wasn’t too much to manage at the beginning of the year as I only had to handle me. I love serving others and giving back, so that was easy. Maybe it was the timing…
Read MoreIn 2007 I was Jo-Ann Vacing, a woman in hiding, playing small and staying safe. I was a licensee of another company that worked to provide women in business solutions for business challenges. I most certainly wasn’t living the life I dreamt of – the life I lead today. Back then my…
Read MoreI am often asked how I moved from where I once was in hiding under an alias, to becoming an international best-selling author and speaker working internationally.

Read MoreI’ve had so many epiphanies over the last few months. Today I’m going to share some of them. In May 2017 I committed to an experiment that would take me from the comfort of my spacious home office, to living and working in a tiny home in Mexico for six months. On…
Read MoreThat moment you realize you made it through five years, and are on a beach with your dog and your thoughts walking your talk and working to serve others. That’s a great moment! In 2012 I opened Frock Off Inc., and for one year I generated NO REVENUE! Not a penny. Instead, I…

Read MoreThese shoes are amazing for so many reasons… but the idea of walking in them hurts me. Kudos to those who can… I prefer a platform or wedge with sass. Yet, when I look at this picture I am drawn to it. Is this what success looks like? Maybe to some. There…

Read MoreFor some it started with a lemonade stand. For others, it was newspaper delivery or babysitting. However it began … you were likely doing the side hustle from an early age. What’s a side hustle, you ask? Side hustling is a term that refers to work you do outside of your full-time…
Read MoreI have a crush on women who move beyond their circumstances, overcome great odds, old stories, stereotypes, ageism, cultural restraints and simply put BS – Belief Systems.
