Becoming an authority in your business doesn’t really matter if you don’t claim authority over your life.

[Carly Ottaway @carly_ottaway]

Sometimes showing up is the hardest part. Do it anyway. Do it again and again until you get to where you want to be.

The biggest communication block is that we “listen” with the intention of replying, rather than simply trying to understand.

Being a mom isn’t what defines me; it’s what drives me.

It’s time to stop overcomplicating your marketing strategy. Don’t get distracted by the latest tricks for hacking the algorithm. Focus on building real human connections. This is where the sweet spot is.

You don’t have to be the best to make a difference for someone.

Your WHY isn’t to “choose your own hours” or “drive more profit.” Those are results.

I got my first grey hair and first pair of glasses in the same week. What is the universe trying to tell me here? #30iscoming

Once again, I feel like @TMFproject is writing this blog post from inside my head: https://t.co/HPPqU6rtP4 #justasmalltowngirl

[Carly Ottaway @carly_ottaway]

@TMFproject It's better to find out the answer for yourself, than to have someone else explain it to you.

[Carly Ottaway @carly_ottaway]
