03 December 2011

There are many transitions and transformations on the horizon for me and my business, and much to do to prepare for them, so I’m making space and opening the flow. Here are some of the ways I’m doing this in my business that you can do too: 1. Clean Up Your Business Time Time is your only non-renewable resource.

5 Easy and Effective Ways to Give in Your Business

26 November 2011

It seems that, at least in the US, the holiday season starts earlier and earlier, with Christmas cards taking over most of the card section of any store right after Halloween (if not before!). And while it bugs me to hear holiday music over the store speakers while I’m shopping for my kids’ Halloween costume (because by the time Santa does visit, I’m quite tired of dreaming of a “White Christmas”), as far as planning on how to market for and during the holiday season for my business, it’s almost never too early. One of my beliefs is “Giver’s Get,” [...]

15 November 2011

As I’m wrapping up a slew of private retreats with clients this month, it’s become clear that it’s time for me to get focused on practicing what I’ve been preaching – or more specifically, to put myself through the same intense process and plan that I take my clients through. This thought popped into my head several times during the retreats, but really came to the forefront of my thinking over the past week or so, as I’ve been making some very big decisions in my business that’s going to majorly shift things going forward.

10 Take-Away’s from Ali Brown’s SHINE 2011

07 November 2011

I had many light bulb moments during my three days in Dallas at SHINE this year, and I wanted to share with you 10 of my top take-away’s: 1.

About Being Lucky…

29 October 2011

I’m a believer in creating your own luck (thus why I don’t buy lottery tickets). Actually I don’t usually use the word luck because I think it’s too easy for people to use it as an excuse, and not in a positive way. I’ll share something personal here – I bristle whenever someone says to me how ‘lucky’ I am to have such well-behaved kids.
