    This week of all weeks in the year, you’re looking to unplug a bit more, turn inward, plan for the gloriousness that’s sure to come next year, too. So I’ll keep my note brief. I’ve been using two unlikely tools in my business this year for clarity and focus and it seemed most appropriate to…

    Sorry Folks, Coaches Can’t Have All the Answers For You

    “Why can’t she just tell me what to do?” I hear this line a little too often with business owners work with coaches, whether it’s a launch strategist or marketing coach or business coach. Business owners just want to be told what to do. I get it. It’s not that they’re incapable of doing the…

    My Secret to Crushing that Crippling Writer’s Block (+ a Favorite Business Tool)

    One thing that I’ve noticed my clients avoiding so frequently, like every forking week, is the idea of writing consistently for their readers. They fear they don’t have anything NEW to say.

    How to Clean Up That Mess of Shoulds

    I was recently asked for a book recommendation. But the person wasn’t looking for the regular old standbys, like Good to Great or The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People or The Four-Hour Workweek. They were looking for a book that’s helpful, practical, inspiring AND that most people haven’t read yet. I thought it was an interesting…

    One of My Favorite Books Cost Over $3,800

    Yep, you read that title right. Nope, I didn’t confuse the comma for a decimal point. Linchpin by Seth Godin actually cost me $3,850. And I happily paid it.  I received it as part of enrolling in Seth Godin’s altMBA program, which I took part in last month. I went through the 4-week, intensive program…

    Need ideas? Try this hack.

    You know what used to stop me cold in my business all the time – IDEAS. Such a scary word, I know. I always thought of myself as not-an-ideas person. Yes, I can take an idea that’s already been thought up and turn it into a viable project or business, even. Bring it to the…
