I hope everyone enjoyed a long holiday weekend with friends and family, unplugged, relaxing and reflecting on all there is that you are thankful for. I have a tremendous amount to be thankful for. I know you do too. Gratitude is the antidote to almost everything – fear, mediocrity, sadness, anger. Try it. Right now. Try to be both grateful …
I know you’ve been there before. You feel like you’re speeding down a winding road, cliff on both sides, the brakes don’t work, the windshield is dirty, and you’ve got the weight of the world on your shoulders (hell, you’re not even in the driver’s seat!). Your business is growing and you have to make sure cash flow keeps up, …
I just got back from three days off the grid, completely unplugged and fully immersed in the natural beauty at the Grand Canyon and Havasupai Falls. Clarity and inspiration were a given. The business world is such a whirlwind. Some days you have extremely clear vision, tons of energy, and feel unstoppable. Other days? It can feel like you …
One of the main things about being a entrepreneur and business owner is that I’m always looking at our financials. Daily. I was a Finance manager and have always had money on my mind. How to make it. How to spend it. How to use other people’s money to create even more opportunities. How to build wealth… When I first …
One of the huge benefits of training for an Ironman is all the time logged biking and running – which means I’m getting through 1-2 (sometimes more) audio books a week. Pretty awesome! This week, I was listening to Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David R. Hawkins and it got me thinking a lot about blame and why people …
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are all enjoying a few days with friends and family, unplugged (except to read this blog, of course), relaxing and reflecting on all there is that you are thankful for. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my company and team. I am grateful for the books I read. I am grateful …
I’ve been battling a cold for a couple of weeks, I’ve been getting up at 3:30am to get in my training for the Ironman, my week has been jam-packed with meetings (from my attorney, to my accountant, to my dentist, to coaching, to several webinars, to a company Murder Mystery Night), and I lost my voice at least twice. And I …
Every morning when the kids get up (yup, sometimes at 3am), I get them out of bed and we read a sign by their beds,”Be Awesome,” and I have them say it aloud too. Then I’ll ask them, “Are you going to be awesome today?” It sets the tone for the day for them, and for me. It has created a routine …
This week was not one of my best. One of my companies is going through some major growing pains. Cash flow is not flowing. New leadership is being tested. I just want to see results. And I don’t want to hear any stories or excuses. My frustration surfaced a few times earlier this week and I had to check myself before …
