Burnout is not a badge of honor
I saw this quote while scrolling through Instagram – Burnout is not a badge of honor. Up until recently burnout was something that I could not relate to. That is until I had a conversation with my doctor who said that what I was describing to him sounded like burnout. I wrote about it a…

Have a cushion without having to compromise
I was chatting with a long-time friend about this today. We were talking about clients who don’t pay on time and those clients who love to haggle on price and tell you the value of your offering. I’ve had clients ignore my terms and pay me whenever. This usually from larger companies versus smaller outfits.…

Cope or quit?
How do you know when you should continue to cope or just quit? It’s a difficult position to be in for sure because quitting is very scary. What’s on the other side when I say “That’s it! No more!” Am I going to be able to support myself financially? Do I have any clue what…

Trust your unique expertise – you have everything you need
Feeling that we need more – more education, more information, more time, more money, more training, more experience – is a lie we tell ourselves to stay stuck because, believe it or not, this is a comfortable spot. It’s what we know. What we don’t know is what’s scary to us so we never venture…

We can accomplish most anything 15 minutes at a time
I’ve been listening to Earl Nightingale’s ‘The Strangest Secret’, a 1956 spoken word record, which sold over one million copies and received the first Gold Record for the spoken word, helping launch the fields of business motivation and audio publishing. One of the messages that he repeats over and over is this: WE BECOME WHAT…

Believe in your magic – share it with the world
A friend of mine loves and quotes Seth Godin often. I tease her that she is in love with Seth, but I think she’s made an excellent choice in choosing to quote Seth Godin, because I believe that Seth thinks. He thinks deeply about life, culture, our contribution to the world and what is truly…

Follow the confidence you feel and connect to your destiny
There are certain things that we find we can grasp easily yet oftentimes, we may feel that these things come too easily to us, and we may choose to pursue something that offers a greater challenge. Discounting your natural talents may make the journey towards your goals that much longer. Alienating yourself from what comes…

Teaching from an old wound will never allow you a new adventure
When I was a child, I use to advertise my wounds, like a badge of honour. I would show my friends a bruise or a scrape and if I had a cut, I would peel back the plaster so they could see it. Sometimes I would touch it, and I’d be fine, but once someone…

do you have all the knowledge you need to build a thriving business?
If you answered “yes” then you are getting the support you need in those places outside your ambit. If you answered “no” that’s a great start because you realize it takes a village LOL. If you answered “yes” but doing everything yourself, I think that you need to re-examine your answer. To build anything well…

You don’t make a difference by judging; you make one by taking action
We have become great observers and brilliant detectors. We see what is wrong. We can identify what is missing. We understand that things must change. THEN WE WAIT. Wait for someone else to speak up, to suggest the change, to have the difficult conversation. Even when it comes to stuff pertaining to our own well-being,…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
When the stakes are high, DON’T MOVE without CLARITY
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.
