Every month, our members give us thoughtful + impactful questions for our "Ask swHw" class, so this month we wanted to offer you a peek at some of our favorites. Information + content is valuable and we strive to offer the best at swHw, but information without evaluation will leave us working IN our work, when sometimes we need to work ON our work. So we're sharing 10 of the 99 questions we've come up with that we know will help to you work ON your work. From personal leadership to marketing to the customer experience, we're doing our best to cover a wide variety of areas so each of you can benefit by taking some time for reflection. How do I prioritize having the hearts and minds of my teammates, not just their skill? What expectations do you have for your business that haven’t been clearly communicated? How can we stay true to our mission, but deliver it in a new way? How have I communicated the impact we’re making recently? Do the people working here have time to think, create, and enjoy their lives? Does our current activity move us toward popularity or effectiveness? What’s something that [...]

7 Business Tips You’ll Find Inside the swHw Business Tracker

By |2020-05-08T13:19:22-04:00June 21st, 2019|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership, Family|

We’ve explained the difference between planning and tracking before, but there’s one more key difference between the swHw Business Tracker and a planner: Most planners don’t come equipped with hundreds of business tips. The swHw Business Tracker does. In fact, as Jami G. said when her tracker arrived: “Access to the guide alone is worth the purchase of the tracker!” So here’s a sneak peek of seven business tips you’ll find inside the swHw Business Tracker: 1. Track your todays. Goals aren’t just for monthly, quarterly, and yearly tracking. Setting daily goals is a huge factor in whether or not you show up consistently. Our tracker keeps it simple by aligning your daily goals with your daily priorities --- and then holds you accountable to moving fromthought àtask àdone.  2. Social media content creation isn’t hard…if you’re working. As you work, you’re constantly sharing information and encountering stories that would be valuable to share with future and current customers. Our business tracker allows you to collect and organize all of your thoughts, ideas, and information in a single location so you are always prepared with valuable content to share. 3. Wowing your customers and co-workers (whether planned or spontaneous!)always requires [...]

9 Ways to Prevent Accidental Plagiarism: swHw Social Media Edition

By |2020-05-08T13:19:27-04:00June 7th, 2019|Business, Faith-Based Leadership|

Social media is one of our largest pools of information, as well as the top place to visit for advice and inspiration, so it’s easy to see why many of us put a lot of time and effort into our content creation. BUT -- unfortunately, due to the amount of voices and the overwhelming noise of it all (coupled with little to no accountability!), social media is also one of the easiest places to get away with plagiarism. In most cases, the intention was never to “steal” someone else’s content, but that’s what ends up happening more than we probably realize. And let’s be honest: the social media standard for citing sources doesn’t exist, so we can’t rely on common practice to be our guide.  As swHw women, it’s always our goal to give credit where credit is due, so we’ve compiled nine tips below that we hope will help us all post with integrity. Using “quotation marks” without attributing an author does not count as a citation. Include the author’s name in your caption/post, and search to see if the author is on the platform you’re using so you can tag their account. If you’re sharing a screenshot [...]

Laying Down Striving for Surrendered Effort

By |2020-05-08T13:19:33-04:00May 17th, 2019|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership, Family|

Life includes numerous roles and responsibilities. In the home alone, you can be nurse, teacher, chef, and taxi driver—all in the same five minutes. But can I ask you a question? When you look at “all the things,” do you ever get overwhelmed? Do you ever feel the pressure to find “balance” in your life, but don’t know where to begin? I’ve been there, friend. I spent years trying to achieve life balance. But whenever I had a glimmer of hope that balance was in sight, our season would change, causing me to begin again. Can you relate? It’s been an imperfect journey, but over the last few years, I’ve realized why I never achieved that life balance I strived so hard to find: God never intended me to balance my life. The word“balance” implies everything in your life has equal importance. But God’s Word lovingly teaches about our priorities: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” - Matthew 6:33 In simple terms? Put God first, and He orders everything else. I know I’ve spent a large portion of my life striving to get “all the things.” [...]

Dear Parents, Don’t Get Too Cozy

Change… some of us thrive in it and others would rather die than endure it. But no matter what side we’re on, God more than likely has a few plot twists in the story He’s writing for us, so it’s important to not fear change — and it’s imperative we teach our kids the same.  To show them that a deeply rooted faith will be the answer to peace in the midst of trial and change will be one of the greatest lessons you can share and will also encourage the development of surrendered Christ-followers instead of nominal Christians.  I’m sharing a few practical ways our family has walked through change in the last decade, and for us that change came in the form of big moves during extremely formative ages for our kids. But I don’t think your plot twist has to be the same as ours for these practical tips to help!  We’ve done several big moves with kids, but our last two were at what most would describe as very inopportune times in their adolescence. One was back in 2012 when I had a 4th grader and a 6th grader, and then the most recent with [...]
