Y’all, I’m out of alignment. Not chiropractically. Energetically. I can tell because my to-do list has gotten out of control (like two pages, single spaced), I have a constant sense that I’m forgetting something, and I’m withdrawing from activities and people. What got me here? Why am I so out of whack? When I’m balanced, my achiever and maximizer are what help me drive my business forward. My achiever is what gives me the energy … Read more
I’ve spent the last month steeped in visioning. Visioning for me. Visioning for my clients. Dreaming and scheming and creating bold, exciting visions for what we want to be, have, and achieve in our businesses. Now what? While vision boards and vision exercises help us unconsciously align our activities to achieve our goals, success also takes purposeful and seven (plus) things you can do to move vision from the realm of imagination to reality: Identify … Read more

If you know me, you know I preach the holy trifecta of AWARENESS, PURPOSE, and INTENT in running your business.

To do that, I’m replacing a long list of new year’s to-do’s with one, simple word that I can focus on all year long. The word sums up how I want to feel and how I want to live. The idea is that by keeping that one word in mind all year, I will align my actions and decisions in a … Read more

Am I excited for the holidays, you ask? NO! I’m excited because December is when I start to set my business goals and intentions for the new year. Every year about this time, I find myself ramping up … Read more
This week I’m all aflutter because I’m hosting my first Vision Board Party on Friday. *squee!* I’ve got 12 amazing, dynamic women business owners coming to commit their dreams and goals for 2017 to paper. And I am. So. Excited! I love, love, love vision boarding. Probably because I’m a creative soul and a visual learner, so the act of collaging something beautiful I can look at all year is deeply satisfying. But also because … Read more
