Today’s conversation is about negotiation - but not in the way most people think about it. Negotiation isn’t about being aggressive. It isn’t about “winning.” And it definitely isn’t about escalating tension to get your way. The best outcomes come from: Emotional control, clear framing, steady, and professional energy. Before we meet, reflect on this: 👉 Where do negotiations tend to break down for you?– When emotions run high?– When the other party gets defensive?– When you feel rushed or pressured to respond? Come to the call ready to think less about what you say and MORE about how you show up. The highest and best negotiators don’t raise their voice. They raise the standard. We’ll break this down live. Excited to dive into this and see you! (worksheet will be posted shortly) xo Erica

We’ve done the inner work: now it’s time to be seen. This week inside Highest & Best, we’re talking about showing up confidently — in your business, online, and in every client conversation. Because confidence isn’t something you wait to feel… it’s something you build by honoring who you are and taking small, consistent actions. 🎯 This week’s steps: Download the Week 5 Worksheet. 💬 Check-in: How did your boundaries go last week? Any wins or breakthroughs you’re proud of? Drop them below so we can celebrate you 🖤 See you at 10am EST tomorrow! /ecs “Visibility is the reward for alignment.”

Last week we talked about schedule systems - creating rhythm in your week instead of reacting to it. Now that your days have a little more structure, this week is about something deeper: protecting your energy and time so you can actually sustain it. 🪞 Alignment means building a business that fits the season you’re in. Boundaries are how you protect that alignment - with your clients, your calendar, and even your own thoughts. 🖤 Because boundaries aren’t about doing less — they’re about DOING WHAT MATTERS MOST in this season of life. 💬 Check-In: How did last week’s schedule system go? - Did you find a flow that worked? - Or did life throw a few curveballs (same)? And while you’re here - what’s one win from last week you’re proud of? Drop it below ⬇️ no matter how small. We celebrate progress, not perfection! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! — Erica

Had to share…when the cleaning person came today to go through my house with me, as she was leaving she told me her mom is moving here from California and she saw on my social media I was a realtor. She said she’d pass her my info! Whether she actually does or not, it was such confirmation that when I invest in myself/my business, it will pay off! Like the universe saying, next right move!

Hi! Celena just got back to me and good news! She is accepting new clients! She has been my "go to" for over 10 years for a personal assistant on an as needed basis (you pay her per project or hourly). She has done things from help me organize my garage, my pantry, closet, helps donate household items or clothes, unload groceries, take the dog to the groomer, fold laundry you name it! Even if it saves me a couple hours a week of me not having to do these things that two hours I can be working in or on my business and generating additional income.
