What starts out right ends up right, but what starts out wrong may never get right.  Have you ever heard that saying before?  I have found that it is so very true.  Often we think we can cheat it.  We just jump into a new project or relationship or other stuff with no plan and no thought…and what happens?  DISASTER.  Next thing you know you are WAY off course or worse, you have no idea where you a...

If you ask anyone and especially women what one thing they would like to change about their body there is always an answer.  In some cases a very long answer.  If you had a magic wand and could transform one part of yourself what would it be?  Would there be an aspect of your health you would change?  The question really is though if you changes instantly with no work, would you actually be change...

Success in business is something we all want.  Isn’t it? And yet so many people in business never really reach the level of success they hope for.  Why do you think that is?  One of the key reasons many people fail is because they do not have a plan to succeed.  We wake up in the morning and just expect that success with have miraculously shown up overnight.  That couldn’t be less true.  It has be...

Food!  No matter who you are and no matter what you do, you have to eat.  For some food is not an issue in their life and for others food may be the single most difficult part of every day.  Food should be the fuel that allows us to do all that we were created to do and to be, but are we fueling our success or are we unintentionally keeping ourselves from living at our maximum level of success all...

Have you ever watched a little child wake up on their own, not a teen but a small child still full of wonder who has just spent the night dreaming magical dreams. They pop out of bed ready to go, their little minds are filled with joy and wonder at each little thing that happens.  They are happy, excited and completely FULL of energy!  Have you ever heard someone use the expression, “you have to g...

I don’t know why they didn’t buy?   Or how about, “I really thought they were going to buy”? Have you ever said that? Why don’t we know?  Wouldn’t it be great if everyone who wanted our product has a sign saying, “I want to buyt”! What if they do and we are just missing it? Customers give us signals.  They rarely are going to say, “Hey!  Let me buy your stuff!”  But in many ways the things they do...

You can feel it inside of you.   There is a message in you that is longing to come out.  So why do you hold back?  We were born with a purpose and a passion, but often our own thoughts and fears get in the way of us releasing the message we have been given to the world.  We say to ourselves that our lives aren’t that interesting.  We have bought into a belief that we are less than others. Have you...

What should I do next?  Have you ever felt that in life?  Have you ever read a really good book and wanted to read the next one in the series?  Have you ever purchased something from the store and couldn’t wait until the next time you could get more of it? On the flip side; have you ever gotten lost in a store trying to find something or gone to where you thought it should be and couldn’t find it?...

What do you see when you look in the mirror?  Do you see the amazing, vibrant, talented person you are?  OR Do you concentrate on the blemishes and your hair length, color, or style? Not liking ourselves is such an easy trap to fall into and a VERY hard cycle to get out of.  We are often taught that we need to smile and be gracious when someone compliments us, but very rarely taught how to take in...

What do the people you want as clients think of you?  Do they see you as a member of their group or as an annoying outsider that is always trying to sell them something?  OR  do they recognize your name but have no idea what you do? When we think of approaching our potential clients, often we get it wrong from the start.  We need to truly be a contributing member of our “tribe”.  Our tribe is the...

Do you avoid speaking with your tech people?  How many times have you felt like your computer hated you?  Do you ever find yourself screaming at the computer screen because a program won’t do what you want it to?  For the average person technology is complicated and something most people try to avoid as much as they can. When we try to get help often we are made to feel stupid.  Worse is when the...

Putting things off.  Are you an expert at that? I will do that tomorrow!  Have you ever said that? How often do you feel overwhelmed?  Do you find yourself putting off a project because even thinking about it stresses you out?  We all of things in our life we put off.  Maybe it is health issues.  Maybe you know what your business needs to succeed but you keep putting it off.  Maybe it is something...

As an entrepreneur, what do we do when a crisis comes?  When we have issues that come up in our lives the most common thing we want to do is to avoid it.  We hope that maybe if we don’t deal with it then it will go away.   The more empowering AND TERRIFYING  approach is to take an issue that comes up in our life and face it.  And then there is our willingness to accept help from others, even the p...

Do you know how much your health effects everything you do?  As a women running a small business you probably know that if you are sick that your company will suffer and I think all of us know how much less we can do when we are really sick, but what about in our day to day life?  How much of what we struggle with can be traced back to a health problem we don’t even know we have? We may know that...

Managing people can be a difficult task.  Doing it gracefully can seem nearly impossible some days.  Surprising though, even worse than the difficulty of managing people is the trap of doing it all ourselves.  We need to remember the importance of letting go.  As an entrepreneur it is so easy to always see every task as being something we have to do.  The truth though is much different.  All distr...
