I can’t believe February is over. An update on where I’m at in my 2018 goals… I’ve gotten a little further in my systems! * Dubsado*: You can see some of this in action on my site & I’m slowing introducing the client portal to my current
Happy lunar new year! On the first day of the new year, I got a cold and now I’m recovering. Probably the worst parts of getting sick are 1- my boss is not understanding (it’s me) and 2- the fatigue that crosses into your mind. It makes writing
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

In my non-coffee life, I saw the Avengers trailer this morning and got *really* excited. Not just because I’ve been watching all the movies and related TV shows, but also because I’ve been playing the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 game on the Nintendo Switch. When people ask
This last week has been a doozy. I haven’t been feeling the greatest, health-wise, and SCA’s poorly worded announcement & “policy” reverberated through the industry. Ironically, my planned blog post topic today was supposed to be around values – standing up & speaking out – and how that can be
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
Uh whoa - my previous issue sent with all sorts of errors (pictures appeared twice, sections mixed up) and no one said anything! Either you’re all very forgiving or you didn’t notice. Sorry about that, not entirely sure what happened there. I’m sending this issue from Chicago
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
