Admin Kulture

I just wrote a communication for a client whose team has several people dealing with Covid. Sometimes the best we can do is care for people well. In this social media grind-it-out era, we have to remember to put people first. Yes, business deadlines and obligations matter. But healthy, rested, balanced people, are always the ones who will produce greatness in your business.

Was chatting with a client about work-life balance yesterday. When you're an entrepreneur, self-employed the drive is there to keep going. We push ourselves by working late nights, and weekends to reach our goals because bills don't pay themselves. Don't let this social media culture push you. Being driven is cool. Driving off a cliff into work and nothing else es no bueno. Balance friends, choose balance. Work hard. Play hard. Rest hard. Repeat.

The next few months for me are going to include some business travel, warm Florida beach days, and a special offer to give my Admin Kulture entrepreneurs freedom to enjoy this summer season. Join my email list at adminkulture.com and let's get you started on your journey to business freedom.

After a tragic week in our nation, it feels good to be working on this Saturday web design project. The site is for a new Christian school that is preparing to serve families in an overlooked, forgotten area. They are shining the light of Christ and pointing a generation of students to experience the power of education for life. Honored to play a small part in this journey.

That's the whole message for Monday. When you may be lacking motivation. Feeling like you're treading water. Believing in your dream, but trying to figure out all the pieces. Sometimes you just have to get back on and keep going. Keep doing it until you find your rhythm. Keep working until the momentum hits. I'm rooting for you.

I don't use this laptop anymore. I rarely wear my hair straight any more. What hasn't changed? The joy in seeing Admin Kulture clients walk in their assignment. That joy remains.

"Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." - Proverbs 16:3

Woohoo! I did it! And by “it”, I mean ending the week wrapping up a web design project for an amazing hairstylist celebrating 25 years in the industry this month. Fill out a request form on my website if this sounds like something you’re interested in! Link in BIO.

Isn’t life an adventure? If someone would’ve told me I’d be a freelancer 20 years ago in college, I wouldn’t believe it. The vision started as a seed thought back then, but it's grown into something greater. Now I get to live out the joy of helping women in business and ministry execute their operations. It’s nice to know that reality can be far greater than your wildest dreams. Could you have predicted where you’d end up today?

Not sure when we stopped calling it brainstorming, but whatever floats your boat. Sometimes you just have to do a brain dump. You don't need the answers. You don't need every step laid out. You just need to get it out of your head and see the big picture. Monday nights are for mind mapping.

A nomination for induction to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, gracefully declined with a thank you, but no thank you. Its counter culture which tells us everyday to be seen, build your brand, keep putting yourself out there. Nope, Dolly has spoken and said that is not for me. She is clear, confident, and comfortable in who she is and has been, country music is her genre. She will not accept an honor that she hasn't rightfully invested in and earned. She is open to future oportunity to create a work reflective of that honor, but she is ok with who and where she is in this current season.

If you had told me three years ago before I got married that I'd be celebrating March 14, I would have said absolutely not. When you marry a former math teacher - Pi Day is an actual holiday in our house. Then your cousin who is math teacher sends ya'll Pi Day t-shirts, it becomes a whole thing. So.... Happy 3.14 friends!

I went to Culver's the other night and ordered vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce in a cone. Easy, right? The two kids behind the counter said, "No, we can't do that." I'm standing there, baffled as to why they can't give me ice cream in a cone. One girl finally turned to the boy at the register and said, "I'm not doing it. You can." Still baffled and wanting my ice cream, they made my order. Fast forward 10 minutes later and I suddenly understood their reaction. The caramel is hot. So within seconds the ice cream becomes a liquid, dripping hot mess.

Here's the lesson - As an entrepreneur don't steam roll over people. Understand the knowledge and experience they bring. Your vision matters, but you have make room for their expertise to speak into your vision. You have to be willing to adjust. A good working relationship involves listening, learning, and flexibility on all sides.

They stretch from the East coast to the West coast making an impact all over the world. Those are my clients. They are solo faith-based entreprenuers who know their God given assignment in business and ministry. They are carrying the gospel to nations and I have the honor of carrying their vision.

Sis, you've got this. Whatever is on your to do list today. Don't be anxious or be afraid. The Lord has given you power to accomplish great things.

It's been a funky week with Instagram for many people. 12 years of fundraising, thousands of donors - here's what I know. You have to communicate in multiple channels with your audience. Too often we forget that on these social platforms you own your images and that's it. But an email list is your core people, your purchasers, your followers saying "We want more!" Let's build a strategy together to grow your email list so when the starts acting up again you can keep doing business and ministry.

Loving what I do!
