The importance of your why is often spoken about in motivational circles.  Usually the reason they give is that you can use a strong why to keep you going when you are tempted to quit.  But what they are talking about is the big quit - the moment of thinking "this isn't for me. It's too hard".  And that is valid - because we do tend to start questioning it when it does get hard. Last week I shared...

So today I want to talk to you about being stuck in indecision about your offer. I was coaching a client of mine a few weeks back on this very thing. And I've even been restructuring my own offers over the past few months and so I've had to work through some of this myself and so I thought this is probably something worth covering in case you are also in this position. Either restructuring, or thi...

What would you use it for?   And I want to dive into this - because a lot of my clients have the thought -  "If only there were more hours in the day" or…"I just need an extra day each week"...   It is so common.    And I used to frequently say this to myself too.   ...
