A Gift For You #594

Published on May 27, 2021 Written by

Today I wanted to offer a gift while sharing what’s been a gamechanger for me and my business.  If you’ve not seen the ads for the ReMarkable2, you must not spend time on social media where I do.  I saw the ad and had seen one in action in one of my sessions and wondered… View Article

Decide #593

Published on May 26, 2021 Written by

Sometimes you just need to hear yourself say something out loud to get your answer.  I was talking with a dear friend and savvy businessperson who reminded me of this today.  As I described the situation I am experiencing, I noticed the clarity of events, mismatch of values, consistent evidence as a logical event.

Pressure Wash Yourself To Clarity #592

Published on May 25, 2021 Written by

Who knew pressure washing would be gratifying? I sure didn’t.  At least not until I tried it.  Sometimes doing a task which is simple, mundane and productive is just what the doctor ordered.   Though I ended covered in dirt, pressure washing gave me the clarity on many things happening in my business and life.   When your thinking gets stuck, take to… View Article

One Small Step #591

Published on May 24, 2021 Written by

James Clear hit it home for me last week with this one:  “Most of the excuses I made…  not enough time  not enough money  not enough knowledge  not the right connections  were just ways to avoid the real bottleneck: Not enough courage.”  There was always a small step I could have taken—if I had the… View Article

In our Quarterly last week, Holly reminded us of a quote we all needed to hear, and it was timely and necessary for us. I’m confident someone else may benefit from this, so here it is with my modifications in recognition of the privilege assumed in the original:  Great relationships are hard. Remaining in an unhappy relationship is harder.

Change How You’re Thinking #589

Published on May 20, 2021 Written by

Language informs our reality.  How we talk about what is possible, how we describe ourselves and others determines what is possible.   When you talk, you’re letting others in on how you think and feel. If it’s not moving you forward, you’re either stuck or moving backward.   When you listen to yourself, does it move you forward? Do you want… View Article

I Heard The Message #588

Some days it’s more important to prioritize the things you don’t believe you have time for than to make the stuff that has to happen, happen.  Today, it turned out to be a beautiful day and was supposed to be a dreary one.   A friend called with challenging news regarding her health, my TimeHop shared a photo of someone… View Article

Focus, Priorities, and Discipline #587

Published on May 18, 2021 Written by

I value time and I use it well – mostly.   I’ve had people ask me how I accomplish as much as I do and it’s interesting to me. I don’t know that I’m more productive than others, but I do have practices which sustain my focus and allow me to say “no” to things that don’t fit with my priorities, and I’m disciplined. … View Article

The Door Is Open #586

Published on May 17, 2021 Written by

You know, recently I’ve been rediscovering how simple it is to make people happy.  It’s two simple words and it seems to be a superpower these days. What are they? Follow through.   When I look around me, there is some normalization happening regarding stopping short of completing agreements and tasks. Maybe it’s just us? Please comment and let me know. … View Article

Are your people engaged?   I hear people who are concerned with culture every day – especially as we navigate what our businesses will look like going forward whether in person, online or integrated.   There are costs and benefits to each structure, and each presents new opportunities with our team.  To ensure high performance, we have to ensure 3… View Article
