It’s that time of year again. Time to review 2019 so that I can better plan for 2020. I take goal setting very seriously, and this year is no exception. My two main focuses for 2020 are consistency and intent. Believe me, I have plenty of specific goals, which I have listed for you below. But this year, my goals …
This post comes from pretty deep in the vault. I wrote this post over a year and a half ago and recently found it. I wasn’t going to post it because it felt a little vulnerable, but decided to put it out there because you can see some faint glimmers of me discovering what I need to feel happy or …
I have been neglecting this blog for sometime. And a lot has changed since the posts that I started this blog with. I plan to be more on the ball with talking about my journey and my businesses (yep, I did say businesses). A general catch up post will be coming very soon. “Growth and comfort do not exist.” – …
Previously, I wrote about my experiences with my second year doing a Clean January. The goal is to start a habit or eliminate something unhealthy for at least one month with the hope of building it into your life permanently.

We were running an errand when a friend called and I answered on speakerphone. He has some resolutions for his personal life and his business so we talked about those. I offered …
There is a lot of focus on learning and improving in the circles that I run in. Many people want to learn something and move onto the next thing, leaving a lot of opportunity available for people who really want to focus and learn something to the point of mastery. If you want to be the best at something, it …
I talk with a lot of people who get frustrated when things don’t happen immediately. They are so focused on the short-term and don’t have any trust for the process. You can try to force everyone to work on your schedule, but that will lead to burning a lot of bridges with potential clients and networking partners. Instead we should …
If I could buy a billboard and put one thing on it, it would be this: “Don’t Focus on Results” With so much in this world that we can’t control, why do we put so much emphasis just on the end product? What do I mean by being too focused on results? Here are the kinds of self-defeating, results-focused statements …
There are a lot of things that can stand in the way of success in sales and a salesperson. We can make assumptions, we can give too much information away, we can devalue out time or our product. Most of these things happen when we are too attached to a potential sale and that all goes back to our sales …
