Tinhorn Consulting — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 00:12:24 +0000

In the horse racing world, the “triple crown” refers to a rider/horse winning all three of the top major races — Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and the Belmont. When I work with a client, I too seek a “triple crown” win — an opportunity that will benefit Native communities; achieve the client’s goals; and uphold my business mission. It all begins with listening. What are the client’s intentions?

Website Check-Ups, First Impressions, and Tribal Politics, Oh My!

Tinhorn Consulting — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:16:04 +0000

As I talked shop at the 24th Annual Indian Nations and Tribes Legislative Day at the Arizona State Capitol with Arizona Tribal leaders and varied constituents, I heard over and over that websites are a necessary tool to convey information and to attract business interest. Whether you’re a tribal government, small business owner, educator or non-profit, often the first introduction to information...

What an amazing year 2018 has been for Native women! I am proud to say that my daughter Zoey is growing up in a world with Native role models whom ARE Olympic gymnasts, computer scientists and elected U.S. Congresswomen. These accomplishments are a reality today for our Native people — and my daughter’s ambitions are not pie-in-the-sky dreams, they ARE achievable. Everyday I encounter Native women...

Mongolian Speaking Engagement Rings in Tinhorn Consulting’s 8th Anniversary

Tinhorn Consulting — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 21:42:42 +0000

Eight years ago, as I was just starting my own business, I had a distinct vision. I could visualize myself on an auditorium stage in front of a large crowd. I didn’t know exactly what my role was, except that I knew I had a purpose and a message. Eight years later, my vision came true. Earlier this month, I presented at a global women’s conference in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, as one of two featured...

Training the Tinhorn Consulting Way

Tinhorn Consulting — Thu, 19 Jul 2018 23:08:35 +0000

For a brief time in my life, I was gifted an opportunity to be a educator, teaching basic computer skills to community college students. It was an enlightening experience, especially as I was the one who learned valuable lessons and skills in the process. What I learned is that it isn’t enough to share knowledge, or to speak at the students. I had to open myself to the students, to be present in...

Money vs. Mission: A Business Owner’s Value Dilemma

Tinhorn Consulting — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 19:11:52 +0000

Like any entrepreneur, I’ve had to learn by trial and error. Business owners, especially upstarts, are constantly exploring, throwing out a wide net to attract clients. When I started my business, I was in earnest pursuit of new clients. Uncertain yet determined. Hungry. When an acquaintance approached me about a possible website development contract, of course I leapt at the opportunity.

From #mompreneur to #entrepreneurher

On this Mother’s Day, I am reflecting on values — those I learned from my mother, what I hope to impart to my own daughter and how I apply what I’ve learned to my business. First, I honor the teachings of my mother, Barbara Tinhorn. She raised me as a single mother for most of my life and has been a constant source of strength. Growing up, she would tell me to always give 110 percent...

Tinhorn Consulting — Fri, 26 Jan 2018 18:03:51 +0000

Just this past Sunday (01.21.18), I purposefully participated in the Honoring Indigenous Women Leading The Women’s March to the Polls in downtown Phoenix. I took my five-year old daughter, Zoey because I wanted her to see all of the strong women standing up for gender equality. I explained to Zoey that women are still not treated the same as men and that the women at the march are speaking up to...
