Where are you headed? Are you moving forward? Sometimes all it takes is a little comment from someone whose opinion you value to wake you up and motivate change. Has that happened to you? About six months ago I had three of those interesting conversations with colleagues within a couple of days, and the big [...]
Three words to focus on for 2012. Last year I used the three words strategy (Breathe. Balance. Grow.) and did great focusing on it until we moved half way through the year and I forgot to put the words back up on my bulletin board. But when I looked back over the year, I realized [...]
In today’s culture, it’s all about “go, go, go” and “get it done.” We’re challenged to be superwomen and stay on top of everything that’s on our lists. Something gets in our way?

This year I jumped on the three words theme bandwagon. I tried to set one word last year but never really could decide on just one. I set some specific # goals but didn’t set resolutions. I like the idea of three words to remember. I’ve seen the idea a few places and don’t recall [...]
Did you fail at anything in 2010? Did someone else tell you that you couldn’t make your business successful? You’re in great company! Watch the short video below and see who else pushed forward after failure, or was told they wouldn’t succeed. If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived. Accept now that sometimes things won’t [...]

Don’t worry, you don’t have to answer this question in the comments. It’s not an official “question week” question. Sheila Atwood from Newbie Lifeline invited me to participate in her Masters of the Web series again and the question this time was tough! To see my answer you’ll have to hop over to her blog [...]
