“The Chef is a standout amongst mentors.
She teaches you to fish. She shares generously, offers wisdom, insight and actionable plans to help you reach your goals. Don’t know how to identify goals that will work for you? There’s guidance for that too. Tea, a gifted wordsmith, connects and creates supportive communities.
Julia Hayes“Tea’s helped me with my message…
by giving me solid guidelines and action items to get stuff done. She is not for the faint at heart and cracks a mean whip but it the most authentic person I know. Looking to hone your marketing efforts, the Chef is your gal.
Lee Drozak“Tea’s helped me to think differently…
— on a daily basis — about who my target clients are and the best way to communicate with them. That’s huge! Tea’s advice is current and savvy and you know you are on the cutting edge when working with her.
Holly Higbee-Jansen“Tea is amazingly generous and smart.
It’s really important to find someone who’s got a lot of experience, knows the ropes, and is still open and growing her/himself. And I LOVE the tough love: do the work or you’re out. You know, I’ve bought a lot of programs and read and listened to and watched endless webinars and …. now I’m doing the work. That makes all the difference.

How to Inspire People with Your Blog (Especially When You Feel Uninspired)
It's been too long since you published a blog post, am I right? I've noticed your silence online. (Are you still there?) I've looked for your latest article, but haven't seen one for weeks. I've heard you talk about the struggle to say something "worthwhile." And that...

Tipping Sacred Marketing Cows: The Hero’s Journey as Ideal Story Structure

Flying By the Seat of Your Pants: A Marketing Plan Love Story
Do you have a marketing plan for your business? No, I don't mean all those plans you've got in your head. A plan that's written down. (Or, more likely, typed into that thing you stare at most of the day.) If you're like 99% of the folks I talk to, you don't. Because...
True Confessions: I’m Afraid You’ll Find Out I’m a Marketing Fraud
There, I said it. One of my deepest fears laid out for the whole world to see: I'm not really who you think I am. Mostly -- like 99% of the time -- I'm actually pretty confident. I know that I know my stuff. But every now and then something happens to trigger the ugly...
