On a scale of 1 to 5, how are you feeling about your business these days? If you’re like most of my clients, you go up and down the scale throughout the month. Some days, you’re feeling great….things are happening, your team is excited and your goal is in sight. Other days, you hear “no”…
I was talking with a gal recently about how she felt about her business performance in the previous month. She proceeded to tell me all the things that she meant to do (but didn’t), how frustrated she was that she didn’t meet her goals (again) and how she wonders (now and then) if she should just…
We all know people who look at their glass half empty, who automatically see the problem or potential obstacles with an idea before you’ve even starting explaining it. Those that are always playing the “devil’s advocate”. For whatever reason, perhaps the environment in which they grew up, the lessons they learned in their career, or…
As we start this new month I wanted to chat about the value of examining the patterns, triggers and habits in your life and business.

I like to talk about fear – and the different ways it shows up in our lives and businesses. One of the ways fear shows up is through comparison and the idea that “I’m not enough compared to her”. I’ve noticed a few instances of the comparison monster recently, so I feel like it is…
Happy last day of the month!! I know that many of you are still running for your March goals. If so, keep on running! When we run for a goal, we ALWAYS end up further along than we would have been if we hadn’t set the goal. You know the old adage about shooting for…
Recently, I was delivering shirts and jackets (as a favor to my daughter) to the members of the high school debate team. Quite a few of the kids live in gated communities, which was a bit of a challenge. I had to give my name, explain who I was, and that, no, I wasn’t from Whole Foods, each…
This morning, I was watching my 8-month-old grandson. He has recently started crawling and pulling himself up on anything he can get his hands on, like barstools, his crib, our pantlegs and so on. When he gets himself to standing, he’s still pretty shaky. Sometimes he falls, other times he is able to stay on…
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were relaxing and special. Check out this cool sand castle made by Chris, an awesome sandcastle maker who comes down to the island and creates super cool things! I didn’t want 2020 to end without sending you an encouraging note and a simple suggestion for begining the new…
