New to working from home? How to communicate and stay in touch 100% virtually

March 17, 2020 by Rachel C Vane Leave a Comment

For 10 years, I’ve been a small business owner and for about half that time, I’ve exclusively worked from home. Since the world is in a state where we might physically be able to be together for a while, I wanted to share some of the best tools I’ve used for communicating 100% virtually with […]

On Being Visible (i.e., not blending in)

September 28, 2016 by Rachel C Vane

I have recently started to feel more “seen”. Like people are meeting me, either online or in person and saying – “Hey, I think I like you. Let’s connect.” Or “I see you have a need and maybe I can help.” As first I thought it was just a coincidence. But in about a month all of these […]

Promote, promote, promote… and remember the key is the follow up.

August 31, 2016 by Rachel C Vane Leave a Comment

I know you… You’re scared of inundating people. You don’t want to be annoying. You think people already get too many emails. You don’t want to feel “salesy”. If you don’t have these thoughts, you probably have no problem sending out 100 tweets, 20 Facebook posts and 5 emails to your list per day. And this post […]

Underestimating Everything & Giving up on "The End"

August 26, 2016 by Rachel C Vane 2 Comments

When people have asked me how I’ve been doing recently, I’ve been responding with this little analogy: I feel I’m running a marathon and I’m so burnt out that I’m crawling to the finish line. And I feel like the finish line should be soon, but it’s really 13 miles out… ’cause I’m only at the […]

Big change, Small change and Chicken Little

July 1, 2015 by Rachel C Vane Leave a Comment

This running a business stuff can be a little much sometimes, right!? I swear, just when I think I have one thing nailed down something goes and changes. With change comes frequent identity crises, self-doubt and fear, it’s kinda like feeling like chicken little a lot of time. If we mistake acorns for the sky, we start to […]

Your WordPress website's security is really, really, really important.

January 7, 2015 by Rachel C Vane 4 Comments

I love WordPress. It gives small entrepreneurs the power to create and manage their own websites and blogs and that is incredible. Remember back in the day when you had to have a WebMaster? It was a while ago, so maybe you don’t remember. It’s pretty unheard of for small businesses to have one anymore. While […]

Leaving behind a constant state of rush.

November 26, 2014 by Rachel C Vane 3 Comments

The other day I was driving on the freeway. There was a car behind me that clearly wanted to go faster than me… she was all up on my bumper. I got anxious. Then angry. When some cars in front of me got out of my way, I sped up as fast as I could […]

You create the business you want.

November 11, 2014 by Rachel C Vane 4 Comments

Last week I was sick. And I mean really – can’t get out of bed, feeling utterly miserable, pounding head, overflowing stack of tissues – sick. I finally returned to work on Friday, because I couldn’t stand being away any longer. Taking that forced step back, I saw a bigger picture. I need my work. Like, really […]
