Dear Reader, When I was growing up, church activities were our entertainment — especially in middle school and high school. And the big event every weekend was a dance. I grew up in Southern California, in Riverside. My dad was a professor at UCR, so we went wherever the dances were happening — Riverside, Costa Mesa, Corona, Irvine — whatever church gym was hosting that week. Now here’s the funny part. My background was ballet. Serious ballet. But ballroom dancing? I’d taken maybe one short class. I was… fine. Definitely not great. But whenever my friends and I were at a dance and Craig Boch asked me to dance, something magical happened. I suddenly looked like a pro. Not because I was amazing — but because he was an incredible leader. I didn’t have to think. And somehow, he made me look really good. That memory has been on my mind lately because it’s such a perfect picture of how many entrepreneurs approach business. We tell ourselves:

Dear Reader, Several years ago we were in Hurricane, Utah, spending time with our cousins. My husband, my two daughters, and I went ATV-ing with our favorite cousins. If you’ve never been to that part of Utah, everything is red.Red dirt. Red sand. Red rocks. I made one critical mistake:I wore a cute shirt I actually liked. That shirt is now permanently stained red. Lesson learned — don’t wear nice clothes when you’re riding ATVs in southern Utah. After the ride, we parked the ATVs in the...
Dear Reader, As you know, we’ve moved to Utah, and lately we’ve been unpacking the garage and closets to get ready for a party this weekend. In the middle of it all, my husband brought me a box from his office and said, “I think this is yours.” Inside were three old, envelope-sized wallets. One was black and sparkly.One had fun pictures on it.One was simple blue leather. And instantly, I was taken back about ten years. Back then, I used a full envelope system. I would literally go to the...
Dear Reader, January always puts compliance top of mind for me. Especially if you run a business in states like California, New York, Illinois, or Oregon—places where employment rules, benefits requirements, and reporting laws change often. If you don’t have a system to track those changes, you’re left hoping nothing slips through the cracks. Years ago, when I owned a large music school in Orange County, I got an email from Gusto that stopped me in my tracks. It said something like:“Hey — a...
