The beginning of wisdom
We acquire wisdom in so many ways… Experiences Teachers Parents Friends Mistakes Failures I think you get it… But it is in facing your fears and taking them on, you are opened to the deep “well” of wisdom inside of you.

Start slow
I see it often with new business owners I coach… They want to be multimillionaires, who work 4 days (if that!) a week and sleep in when they want. So what do they do? EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME. They take on social media, blogging, videos, podcasting and any avenue they can take to get …
Still waters reveal so much more
We all get caught up in the hustle of the day, week and unfortunately, weekend. So much to do and get in, before it’s “too late.” However, what you miss in the rush is what brings you true peace… Often people will ask me, “What is my purpose?” And I’ll be darned if I can …
Who you might have been
Have you ever looked back on your life…and wished you had: taken a different path made a different choice been a different person? I think we can all reflect on each of these, at some point in our lives. Having experienced different careers, different states to live in and different people as part of my …
What choices tell you
Have you ever observed someone struggle with opening those plastic bags in the produce section of the grocery store? Yeah, I’ve stood there talking to the bag, hoping no one was watching me struggle. I’d mutter to myself about how stupid this is, and how come someone hasn’t figured out a way to make one …
When to cross the line
I relate to Shonda, because we had the same undergrad experience. However, even beyond that, I imagine we encountered similar environments where we had to: watch where the lines were drawn find our place within and outside of those lines and make choices (life and financial) based on those lines Given that we had this …
What difference do you want to make
So, this is not about purpose… This is about a difference that COULD end up leading you to your purpose. Quick example. As a child, I wanted to “teach.” I’d get my “readers” out and would read to my neighbor’s children. They would borrow my books to read on their own. People would say, “Oh …
Why it falls apart
Have you ever had something go so wrong, that you thought you’d never get back to where you were? This may require a little reminiscing on your part. I’ll help with an example from my own journey. For much of my entrepreneurial experience, I wanted to focus on helping other entrepreneurs create success in their …
What’s a good starting point
I’ve had the joy of working with some amazing individuals in my coaching/consulting career. Part of that joy is “seeing” what they are overlooking, that if they would just “look” at it, would change everything for them. It’s not easy, I get it. However it’s ALWAYS the place to start. What are you holding on …
What is never final
Yeah, we’d all like to immerse ourselves in a pool of success, forever. And certainly we don’t want to drown in a river of failure, for even a minute. And the good news is… Neither lasts forever. (Besides…we wouldn’t recognize the achievement of one without the other.)
