Bumps in the Road to Reach a Business I Love

As I told you last month, I began my business in 2011 to effect change for myself and my clients after spending several years feeling like I made no difference in the world in my corporate job. As any business owner knows, there are A LOT of bumps in the road to creating a business you love [...]

Efficiency is Meaningless Without Impact

Ten years ago I was working in the customer service department of a large company, and I knew something was missing. I had helped my department create processes and efficiency, but how was I making a difference in the world? Although it was a good job with good people, I didn't feel like I was making a [...]

Inbox Zero…Good or Bad?

I've had several clients lately who felt like they needed to get to Inbox Zero with their email. One client said she has that embarrassed tightness in her gut when people give her "a look" because of the number of emails shown on her phone or computer. She feels like she should conform to what society says is "good" - [...]

Good Triggers and Bad Triggers

My life has been full lately - in both the good and bad ways. Everything from covid to an amazing month for my business have reminded me about triggers. First, I'll talk about what I would call the "bad" triggers. These are the things that set us off, also known as the "buttons" that can be [...]

Make Sure Your Time is Really Your Time

Do you have it? Many of us do, but we don't want to admit it. Information overload is when you [...]

Break It Down to Build Yourself Up

“To accomplish a difficult task one must first make it easy.” - Marty Rubin, Canadian Author   I wasn't sure what to write for today's blog, but the quote above immediately inspired me to think about the huge tasks I've had on my plate lately and how I should be handling them. I have a couple of [...]

Are There Shortcuts in Life?

  I had a great conversation with my client today about people who sign up for programs expecting the "get rich quick" schemes. We were dismayed at the number of people who won't take any action when they realize they've found a program that takes effort and time, even though it will likely create lasting wealth when [...]

Clutter, Clutter Everywhere? Try This!

  I recently had an excellent session with a client. No, she didn't have clutter in the regular sense, but we had some great discussions around mental clutter, digital clutter and those piles that do inevitably accumulate around the house. As we were talking about each item in turn, I realized something that had never occurred to me [...]
