Landing doesn't mean you can't relaunch
A client once sent me a testimonial, and in it they said...
"When you start a journey and you don't have direction, you may never reach your destination."
Makes sense, right?
Yet so often in business and in life, we start a journey without a direction.
We get ideas from the ether. Or a podcas...

My š½ wants to know about you
Picture this: You've had a really long day. You get home, and head down to the basement to drop some things off in your home office.
Your puppy's in the lead, and rounds the corner before you can...
...And starts barking up a storm.
You just got home. You're tired. You're hungry. And now you'r...

The secret to stop breaking up with opportunities
Ā
Have you ever struggled with confidence? Maybe in yourself, maybe even in others.
Confidence is a game changer, but just saying "believe in yourself" isn't helpful.
So how do you handle things when your confidence dips?
I'll be real.
I used to 'break up' with people. Or opportunities.
I'd b...

Feel like your life's running wild?
I have this beautiful clematis that my sister-in-love gave to me years ago.
It makes me feel pretty successful because for those who know me, I enjoy the outdoorsĀ now, but that took a lot of work.
So bear in mind that keeping plants alive isn't really my ...

Mindless routines can leave you empty-handed
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but life usually doesn't come with warnings.
Ā
This realization came into view when I went to walk my sweet little puppy Gunny the other morning.
Ā
...As an aside, I have a lot of habit stacks in the morning that get me from point A to point B without ...

Are you wandering in the woods?
Ā
Ā
Sometimes we lose sight of the paths in our life.
We might be close to the path we're supposed to be on...or want to be on.
But as anyone who's ever gone hiking knows, being close to the right path still means we're not on it.
So what happens?
We find ourselves just kinda wandering in the woo...

Are you hitting your REAL target?
About that time I brought my shooting target to one of my workshops...
You see, I keep a shooting target from my first time at the range hanging in my garage.
(Thinking hey, it might be a deterrent if anyone ever decided to break in. You never know. š)
So anyway, for my Momentum Reset workshop ea...

Are you only communicating at 7%? Probably.
Quick note: The story I'm about to get into about the 7-38-55 secret has more of a logistical/transactional focus.
So before I get to it, I wanna prompt you to also think about this in context of trying to bring in more business.
Because this lesson definitely applies there too.
And on March 20th...

How to stop flying through storms
So, I recorded this video two weeks ago on a day that was absolutely beautiful outside for February, after a period of cold and snow.
And since then, it's been cold, cold, cold and snow, snow, snow all over again.
I'm kinda glad I didn't get this out to you right away, because now it makes the se...

Did this 'holiday' get to you already?
Happy new year -- coming in with aĀ late but important new year's greeting AND reminder.
Because the other day I saw that there's a little something called 'Quitter's Day' on January 10th.

Gratitude even when times are tough
Hey there, I read someĀ postsĀ on gratitude yesterday that really resonated with my spirit.
And now's obviously the season to share.
It's easy to be grateful when life is good. When you're harvesting the fruits of abundance.
(Even so, with the busy-ness of our lives, weĀ stillĀ don't take time to...

Maybe this is what you need to bloom
When we took a break, I decided to get outside and move my body by taking a little walk.
I saw water in the distance, and walked down to the edge of what happened to be the Mississippi.
As I got closer to the water, I noticed a lot of the foliage, grass and weeds were darkened and crunchy, almost...
