  • Ep #150 Mind Your Mind

    Send us Fan Mail

    As entrepreneurs, we have a responsibility to manage our mind more than most people. Starting and growing a business will bring up all of your negative self-talk, which of course feels terrible. Yes, your brain is trying to get you to quit because you are going against your programming (to stay safe, focus on pleasure and don't exert unnecessary energy). It is possible to manage these thoughts, not by pushing them away, but through some tools I give you on today's podcast.

  • Ep #149 The Importance of Downtime this Summer

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you taken the time to plan out your summer for both your downtime, rest and connection as well as your business? The importance of psychological detachment has been proven in study after study and yet you are either in full beast work mode or are rebelling against your slave-driver boss (also you). I want you to look at your calendar for this summer and plan in both downtime, vacation, free days AND focused time to work on your business (as well as in your business).

  • Ep #147 The 16 Phases of Launching a Business (or a book)

    Send us Fan Mail

    There are roughly 16 phases I noted that each of my clients goes through when launching their business. I noticed these as I went through the process of launching a book and on today's podcast I share them with you. If you have already launched enjoy the walk down memory lane. And as the last phase says, "now the real work begins".

    Thank you to everyone who has purchased a book - we are celebrating #1 on Amazon in "Start a Business" and "Hot Releases"! I hope you get your invitation to the book launch party on July 6th!

  • Ep #144 Eat The Frog (do the things you have been putting off)

    Send us Fan Mail

    What have you been putting off in your life and business? Are you just making mental notes of what needs to be done and it's weighing you down? Mark Twain has a great quote that says:  "if you have to eat a live frog, do it first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day."

    I just finished an hour of eating 5 or 6 frogs and I feel such relief and satisfaction! I want that for you too.

  • Ep #143 What's Your Weekly Score?

    Send us Fan Mail

    You set some lofty goals for yourself at the beginning of the year and now we are 21 weeks into 2023. How would you score yourself on the activities and progress you have made towards your goal in the last five months?

    The quote "what gets measured, gets managed" is appropriate here in that if we make time to measure something it becomes a priority. I want you to set some higher standards for yourself - what is the version of you who achieves your goals doing and NOT doing - and then give yourself a score each week.
