Lesson From A Bike Ride

Just went for a bike ride and it was AWESOME. I biked up a big hill, barely making it to the top. I enjoyed the view and, while biking down the hill, took my time so I wouldn’t feel as though I was at risk of breaking my neck. I rode by a huge nursery I’d never noticed before, and...

Align Your Dollars

I have a really simple tip for the week. It’s such a little thing that I almost decided not to share it. But I’m noticing that it is precisely these little things –  the tiny habits & fears – that get overlooked, and they keep us stuck. During the Clarity Sessions I do for prospective clients, I always ask about...

But Everyone’s Doing It

Many years ago, I met a real estate agent at a training seminar. As we chatted, it became clear that she was really stuck. Being a naturally curious gal, I started asking her questions about her marketing. She told me that her primary marketing efforts focused on advertising, and she was spending $1,200 per month on it. I then asked...

Off Course

“How did I get so far off course?” I get this question a lot from people. And the answer is – drift. Drift is subtle. It happens when you set your actions along a path that is just a few degrees off course from your goals. But those few degrees off course, if we compare it to a physical map,...

Put Yourself in a GREAT Time Out

A GREAT time out is this -     ... not this-    A time out is a GREAT thing when you’re a grown up. It’s not about punishment, it’s about re-aligning with your values and goals, taking a deep breath, and getting a 10,000 foot view of your business.  What happens when you don’t take time outs? 1. You say yes to...

The Question that Keeps You Stuck

I recently taught a teleclass that focused on tracking activity so that business owners could get clear on exactly how to spend their limited time and resources. The key to the process was to reflect on past positive results and uncover the specific actions that led to those repeated successes. When I asked the participants to share the patterns of...

One Way to Have More Fun

I had a blast at a recent speaking engagement in Tucson, Arizona. I love walking an audience through business processes – a potentially deadly dull subject – and have them light up with understanding and relief that their business can be so much easier! But as I reviewed the video I shot of my presentation, I started thinking, “Uh-oh. I...

A Business Coach Walks into a Dentist’s Office…

I went to the dentist for a regular checkup, and he recommended that I get braces. My first thought was, “Try again, pal. I know a sales pitch when I hear one.” Then he went on to show me how my misaligned teeth would, over time, damage themselves, wear down, and loosen their very foundation. Upon getting a second opinion,...

“If You Had 100 Million Dollars… “

During a weekend business retreat, powerhouse speaker, entrepreneur, and author Rita Davenport asked the most powerful question I've heard in ages. She asked, “If you had 100 million dollars in the bank, and lived in a 10 million dollar home, what would you want to learn?” Now I've been asked, “If money were no object, what would you do/give/buy?” But never this question. It...

What will they think?

As I was patiently waiting for traffic to clear so I could make a left turn, I felt a little pang of anxiety and looked in my rear view mirror to see if I was holding anyone up. Really? I’m an experienced driver. I know how to navigate the risks of cross traffic. And yet how many times have I jumped...

Reality check about simplifying

I know a lot of people are in the mode of simplifying right now, myself included. And even though simplifying can eventually rocket you into a Zen-like state, the process sometimes makes you want to tear your hair out! I’ll give you an example. Have you ever organized a messy closet? Here’s what it looks like: You can’t take the...
