Is it a cost or an investment? When you think about spending money at home or in your business, what’s your mindset? For me, I look at anything with both lenses. Both sets of questions help us gather information. The question is which prompts your most effective results. Cost questions: 1. What other things can’t… View Article
When you look ahead and see you’ve committed to a lot, maybe too much, do you recognize what that does to your thinking? I do. For me, what I notice is there is momentum toward stress created. It’s subtle at first, then it seeps into my thinking more consistently, which informs my feelings. They follow and grow into some… View Article
The greatest opportunity during communication is for miscommunication. Read that again. I know I needed to. Somehow, in my day to day, I forget regularly that it’s up to me (as the speaker) to ensure any person (whether an audience, a family member, a client or friend) understands what I mean. I frequently refer to this reference… View Article
I’ve had a hard time saying “no” much of my life. Heck, my company is named YESS!, so I clearly have issues, right? What I’ve noticed repeatedly with the most successful people around me is they do three things consistently well: They say no more often. In other words, they are laser focused on what needs to be true of any opportunity for… View Article
It’s all about the reps. I was in a group meeting and one of the participants had detailed data behind how he had generated $250,000 this quarter. Everyone’s ears perked up. We all enjoy being seduced by great results. When he said “wait, I’ll tell you exactly how I did that…” we all leaned in, thinking we’d hear… View Article

It was 7:45pm… View Article

I had no expectation of learning, receiving any benefit or solving any issues for myself. I was there to contribute – 100%. I prepared and had every intention of… View Article
Do you push yourself? Most of us don’t. I know I don’t. At least not in the domains that are challenging for me. This is why my clients who have graduated from EOS continue to have me facilitate sessions. Or they do a tune up once a year to ensure they don’t veer to far from the work we’ve done… View Article
I’m in the midst of creating a one-year program. It’s challenging in the best way. I’m excited to have the rough draft completed in the next 60 days or so. As I ideate, read and sort, I’m including everything I can think of. And then I’ll eliminate. Living life by design takes intention. Most of us won’t make the time. We make more time to… View Article
