I seriously hated the idea of creating a marketing plan the first time I was advised to create one. I didn’t know where to start, it sounded hard and I honestly didn’t know what it meant. \ After a few years I changed my mind about the marketing plan and I began creating one every year. As usual, I kept it sim
Once I say yes, I don’t like to say no. If I make a decision, I like to stick with it. If I make a commitment to you, I’m going to keep it. If you’re my client, I want to give you all the support you need. But what if I change my mind? \ The act of saying no, can be one of the most strategic, smart

We all have stories we tell about money. If not aloud, then in our heads. Most of the time they are being told in the background of our thoughts and we don't pay them much attention. \ I am not talking about stories like, \"Hey, Bob did you hear about the time I tripled my income?\" I'm talking ...
My mom and I, along with my boys, drove down to Southern California to visit Disneyland.

If you were flying a plane do you think it would call forth an intense focus in you? It does for me. I'm on the edge of my seat looking for other planes, watching my altimeter and speed.

The end of the year can either be one of the most relaxing times or it can be hectic. Sometimes it’s a little of both.

I missed a huge opportunity for learning back in 1999, because I was so busy trying to \"get it right\".

I signed up for a leadership course that was a year-long process through The Coaches
Entrepreneurs seem to have an endless supply of ideas for new products and services.

Are you here … present and reading this article, or is a part of your brain somewhere else? \ Nothing really matters except how you feel right now.

One of the most popular issues my clients bring up, besides how to make more money, is how to get more done during the day.
