Picture this. You’re listening in on a webinar so some brilliant person who’s delivering great stuff you know you’ll use. And he/she says, “So, does anyone have any questions?” Silence “Really, is there anything I can help you with? Just press *6 and ask.” Silence You hear some squirming but still no-one speaks. What’s up [...]
This goddess can think of oodles of times where once is not enough … Rollercoaster rides; Classic movies; Really good sex (Ok, I went there since you’re all thinking it!) But this time I’m thinking of Books. The really good books that jolt your paradigms; send you spinning into new awarenesses; and shift your thinking [...]
You dream of these days … plan for them; work for them; search your soul and heart for them. And then they arrive. Bliss! Flow. Momentum. Everything feels easy and natural.

When you’re down and unmotivated, it can be very hard. Every task seems arduous Every hill, a mountain. So you curl up in the shadows and die of overwhelm. I’ve been there. It’s not fun. Here’s what you’re going to do, beloved. Make just one promise to yourself each night. Something that you WILL complete [...]
Nothing that I’ve done so far in my blogging career has had quite as much impact as last weeks’ post ~ The Power of Labels. People have been moved to write to me, email me, and call me personally, and many more have mentioned on Facebook that they’ve been galvanized into a complete reworking of [...]
Have you ever given any thought to the POWER of Labels? Whether it’s on a cereal box, on a handbag, or the hood of a car, a Label says a lot about the product, the company, and whether we like it or not, the kind of person you are for buying it. And to take [...]
Ever since he became early America’s version of a rock star, Ben Franklin’s thirteen Virtues and their corresponding Habits have become legendary, and in crafting the schedule for my first 90 day plan, I decided I could tweak the grand gentleman’s methodology to fit my own goals.
