As I worked on some of the self-discovery exercises in my new workshop, I was thinking about how we sometimes stand in our own way for a very long time. We think about what we want but we don’t actually prepare to get it because deep down we don’t believe we will. Success is never…
Get Out of My Way! (A note to myself)
Just Say No…to Frustration Invitations.
One of the things I emphasize as a coach is how to prioritize and put yourself at the top of your list. I have been doing this nonstop in my own business since December. This week has been challenging for me, however, as several other time-sensitive obligations came up, two deadlines for work I’m finishing…
Avoiding Overwhelm…The Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster
Being an entrepreneur, solopreneur, mompreneur- whatever you want to call yourself- is the most exhilarating journey, yet one in which we can easily feel overwhelmed, frustrated and depleted. The big plummets are only fun if you’re on a real roller coaster and not when you are trying to steadily plan and accomplish goals in your…
You Have My Persmission….
Recently, I have been focusing on getting crystal clear on what my client’s biggest problem is in order to make sure I’m facilitating the solution to that. I know exactly who she is, what she does and where she hangs out. I know her spirit and where she wants to go. I have studied business…
Cowardly Lion or Witch Slaying Business Bad Ass?
Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! If you have a working brain, you feel fear occasionally. Fear originates in the amygdala, two small lobes in the limbic system or “old brain” which is the survivalist part of the brain responsible for breathing, temperature and vomiting. The amygdala may be small but produces big emotions,…
You don’t want mediocrity or you wouldn’t be here
We have BIG goals. Big goals demand believing in possibilities that others think are unrealistic. Being an entrepreneur suggests a daring, thrill-seeking, risk-taking nature that is NOT for everyone. I’m sure we all know people who think we should have and keep a nice day job. Ordinary. Everyone who ever achieves great success is just…
Are You An Under Earner?
In the book Overcoming Underearning, Barbara Stanny identifies 10 qualities of underearners. I have known for years that I was an underearner but was shocked to realize that I have fully 8 of these qualities! 1 and 9 definitely have never applied to me…I didn’t feel trapped and I LOVE wealth. For years, I felt…
What’s Your Message? What are you telling yourself about you?
Internal dialog can be an ongoing battle of ups and downs. Sometimes we are “up” and know for sure we’ve got this, we are powerful, and we can get what we want. Then there are the times we feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or in a place where we are not fully aware of our superpowers. Either…
Out With Comfortable. The significance of doing MORE….
Several days ago I created a post called the “Have More” Cocktail. The first ingredient is “Do More”. Doing more not only means creating as if your life depends on it, but doing things that: (1) seem impossible, (2) challenge your endurance (mental or physical) or (3) punch one of your fears in the face….
