I’m writing in from New Orleans! I was here for the qualifiers and then staying a little longer for Mardi Gras celebrations. What’s really more important, though, is that I get to eat a lot of really good food. Social Media Workflow: How I Work There’s some
If you’re a business owner or a freelancer, you can probably relate to me right now. I’ve been researching & testing new CRM systems for the last two weeks. I’ve been on several sales calls, watched far too many walkthrough videos, and am still struggling to find
Am I the only one who feels like they need another month before business planning for 2018? I went from -15°F/-26°C in Chicago to 50°F/10°C in SF. My body is still mad at me. Hitting literally close to home this past week has been
It’s the last issue of the year! I’m writing this in a Chicago suburb as it is -1°F / -19°C. I left the house for 30 seconds to put mail in the mailbox. I hope you find some helpful links in here. Nothing is *too* robust, as

It’s finally fall! Which, in SF, means absolutely nothing. I recently returned from trips to Chicago and Portland, where the colors were changing and there was a nice crisp in the air. It made me think that I might need seasonal changes after all. – Jenn Why You Should Have

It’s been a heck of a week/month/year in the US. The only thing that is truly keeping me going is the day-in, day-out repetitive work that I *have* to do. That’s all. I hope you find something helpful in this issue! – Jenn Building a Coffee Community
I am back from Taiwan and still recovering. Jet lag is more than getting over a time difference. It’s also getting back into your daily routine and getting a good week’s worth of sleep. Both of which are my current goals. – Jenn This is a non-exhaustive list of
