Let's face it...

Visibility is scary.

It’s one of the many reasons so many female entrepreneurs don’t seek it out more for their businesses.

Yet, it’s also an incredibly vital aspect of running and growing a business...

So the question is, how can you feel more confid

Happy Monday, CEO's! I wanted to share about a recent podcast interview I did with @healthcoachradio

I so enjoyed talking with hosts Erin and Laura about entrepreneurial poverty, niching, market research, and most importantly, managing your time and mental energy.

Head on over

Oh, social media. We love to hate it.

But if you're running a business, you've pretty much accepted that you HAVE to use it to attract new people.

But I bet you've asked yourself more than once, "Is social media ACTUALLY helping grow my business?"

The social media platforms t

[Racheal Cook MBA @RachealCook]

Does the thought of gaining more visibility in your business make you a little bit anxious?

You KNOW you have to get in front of more people to grow, so you make plans to gain more visibility through interviews, guest blog posts, or Instagram/TikTok videos.

But still, even thou

Thank you @kristyabbyyoder of @smartvirtualassistants for having me on the @masterdelegatorpodcast to talk about the importance of DELEGATING!

During our conversation, Kristy and I talk about the art of balancing work and personal life through delegation, and how I've managed to

When I was still in the startup stage of my business, it was easy to let my inner critic get the best of me.

I would hear that voice in my head that told me all the reasons I wasn't good enough to leave corporate and do my own thing.

I would hear things like...

"No one is goin

Are you tired of feeling like your marketing just straight up isn't working?

You spend SO much time posting on social media, writing blog posts, or sending newsletters to your email list. But no matter what you do (or how much you do it), you're not getting the results you want

[Racheal Cook MBA @RachealCook]

We've all been there - looking at the clock at the end of the day wondering where all the time went.

We thought we were "working" for 8 hours, yet barely got anything done.

THIS is why planning is SO important.

Instead of scrolling through Instagram and trying to clear your in

[Racheal Cook MBA @RachealCook]

If you've ever decided to pursue a creative career in something like art or music, you've probably been told, “You won’t make any real money doing that!”

And unfortunately, it's because of this commonly shared misconception that so many people stop chasing their dreams.

#ask I am a couple of weeks away from the launch of a brand new podcast project - Messy In The Middle - and I'd love your support!

Messy In The Middle is a podcast project for Gen X/Elder Millenial women who like me are raising families, helping aging parents, and doing it all w

You know what Monday means...it's time for my CEO Date!
But, did you know that the first CEO Planner was created from my love for customizing bullet journals?
I could never find a planner that I really LOVED (which was hard for someone who loves planning) so I made my own!
But wh

It's official: summertime is upon us. ☀️

Summer is the best time to relax with a cold drink by the pool and just slow down a little bit, right? 😎🍹

And while rest is 100% needed (especially during the summer), how do you make sure things don’t slow down TOO much in y

Honesty time - raise your hand if you feel like you’re ‘winging it’ in your business?

If you start every week or month or quarter feeling like you’re starting from scratch, it’s time to get your profit plan in place.

Then build the internal infrastructure and systems

[Racheal Cook MBA @RachealCook]

As someone who has struggled with burnout, chronic pain and fatigue, and generally a workaholic…

I’ve had to very intentionally design my life and my business to give me the rest and recovery I require.

That has looked like intentionally creating a summer schedule for June

[Racheal Cook MBA @RachealCook]

Remember those 2022 goals you set on January 1st? 📅

Not really? It's ok.

We’re almost at the midway point of the year, but if you’ve gotten off track with your goals, go easy on yourself.

I'm here to help.

Happy CEO Date Monday!

One of the most important things I put on my calendar during EVERY Monday planning session?

Me time!

This means marking off time to bring my kids to the bus in the morning, helping them with their homework after school, and regular Thursday night date n

What are you reading?

Some of my most popular Instagram posts are about what I just finished reading.

I'm always looking for recommendations, especially as we get ready for some time by the pool this summer, so let me know what books are on your list?

[Racheal Cook MBA @RachealCook]

For most entrepreneurs, increasing profit while decreasing burnout sounds like an unattainable dream, right?

Because in order to do that, you HAVE to come to terms with the idea of increasing your prices and overhauling your packaging structure.

Which can make us sweat a littl
