We’re a little over three weeks into the year… and by now many “New Year’s Resolutions” have been abandoned… great plans have been filed right in that round bin labeled “trash”… But does that mean failure? Do you think of success and failure as two opposite things? Two different roads to be traveled like that [...]
“Wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” -Peter F. Drucker I love that quote. It’s true. Creating a successful business requires a courageous decision. But after you make that first exciting, courageous decision… you’ve got to keep making the decision every single day to move forward and succeed. I’ve got [...]
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 [...]

Mistakes. We’ve all made them. A very smart man once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” ~Albert Einstein And it’s true.

We’ve all got them. Excuses. Mine? I’m exhausted. I’ve got school lessons to take care of for the kids. I’ve got a migraine again. I don’t know where to begin and I’m overwhelmed. I’m shy.

We charge right through it! When Catherine invited me to add my voice to a conversation about “The Pause,” my first thought [...]
When you look at yourself, do you see limits? Or can you see beyond them? This isn’t a short video. It’s 15 minutes long. And it’s worth it. “There has never been, and never will be, anyone who sees, thinks, or responds exactly the way you do. Whether you’re revolutionizing physics or making a quilt, [...]
This is Therese Skelly. She’s been compared to a roto-rooter for the brain, and an eraser for limiting beliefs. Do you ever feel like you’re the thing that’s stopping you from moving forward? You’re not alone. I get in my own way. A lot. Sometimes it’s little things. Other times it’s crazy big stuff that [...]
What motivates you in business? I’m fascinated by Richard Branson. I’d bet most entrepreneurs are.
