Grow My GRIT Blog

The GRIT podcast club (online event) is a unique opportunity for listeners to connect with Haze, with each other and with themselves.

Albert Einstein once said, “time flies when you’re having fun” and it’s completely true. It’s been FIVE months since the post about my New Year’s resolution to embrace online marketing for my book and I’m delighted to report that I’ve taken some steps along this seemingly 1000-mile journey! To be completely transparent, the fun I had wasn’t necessarily related to my resolution and I’ll share more about that in another blog 🤪. Apparently, I’m a good procrastinator for all things online and social media. So, to answer my question truthfully, one step at a time is how slow I can go. That translates into about one task per month for me but… “Forward is forward no matter the speed” – Anonymous.  So, a bit on my progress so far…… In February, I read through hundreds of book club descriptions to figure out which ones I should contact when the time is right.

Maintaining my resolution will be hard but I’ve come up with a resolution-reinforcing reminder that I can recall and recite to help guide me along the way. My reminder is actually a combination of two … Read more

On the first anniversary of growmygrit.com, I was grateful for a GRIT-ful year. Today is the second anniversary and I feel blessed that my company is still open for business! Although the pace is different than before, it’s still garnering an income and open to help people know, grow and show their GRIT. I feel blessed because I know that countless entrepreneurs around the world have had to shut their doors temporarily or for good after another year of lockdowns, losses and uncertainty. As a small business owner, I have also struggled in many ways throughout 2021.  One thing that’s brought me comfort is the phrase “Mind the gap” (made famous by London’s subway/tube).
