We’ve talked a lot over the past few weeks about understanding our WHY and then setting the vision for our future. The way we will achieve that vision is to start laying out short-term (within the next year) goals that move us closer. The ability to set clear goals is the master skill of success. All successful people are intensely goal oriented. They have a clear picture of what they want and they are focused single-mindedly on achieving it. Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas …
The Power of Habits
How many New Year’s resolutions have you abandoned? How many times have you started and stopped a diet? How many months have you paid for the gym membership that goes unused? How many times have you made a goal for your business that you didn’t come close to achieving? We often don’t stick to these things because they are hard. Instead, we need to change our mindset and our habits around these things to make them automatic and easy. Think about all the things you do during the …
Why Being a Working Parent Is Hard
The other week my parents took my girls on an adventure. For an entire week. Which left my husband and me home alone for 8 whole days!

You feel unworthy. Like there isn't solid ground for you to stand on. But a stack of lies is not a firm …
The Incremental 1%
Have you ever heard of Marginal Gains? What about the Incremental 1%? These principles are essentially talking about the same thing, daily actions and habits produce significant results over time. Most people set big goals. Why is it then that only a handful actually succeed at reaching an exceptional level of success? Often times it is because we try to tackle these big goals immediately and all at once. We want to see immediate results, but this is why we fail. You’ve heard the …
Picking Yourself Back Up
Late last week I simply scrapped my plan for what I was going to share with you about this week. Instead, I’m going to give you the raw, honest truth about how this business coach lost control. I had great plans for my week last week. I had time blocked my schedule and left space for me to create content, network, meet a friend for drinks after work, take my daughter to a doctor’s appointment, and even get ahead on a few things as we plan to leave in a few days for vacation. Instead, my …
