Passion and Plans and Pitfalls
You know I preach the beauty of a plan to get what you want, but how about feeling a sense of inner peace and life direction?? Now that’s worth a million plans! My friend, Michelle, is not a long-term planner. Her husband John is very much a long-term visionary kind of guy. She’s had to learn that when John says things like, “Pretty soon we’ll need to look at buying […]

Do You Have a Roadmap?
Ever been in line in Mcdonald’s and you’re stuck behind someone who is looking over the menu like it has suddenly changed for the first time in its 150-year history as a company?? It’s McDs! Nothing changes! That’s the beauty of the chain! Here’s my order: Burger, extra pickles, small fry, diet coke. Step aside, […]
Your Best Life Skill
You’re standing at a car dealership, eyeing the car you want – or maybe you’re just looking – and a salesperson sidles up next to you: “Heeeeyyyyyy! Nice day we’re having, aren’t we?” You’re thinking “We? There’s no ‘we’ right now.” The salesperson continues: “You look like just the right kind of person for this […]
The Humble Brag
We like to brag about other people. It’s easy, isn’t it? I’ll tell you all about my friends’ accomplishments or all that my husband has achieved or when my students rise to the top in their industry. Heck, I’ll even tell you when my dog has learned a new trick! But if you were raised like I […]

You’ve heard of the idea of having an “elevator pitch”? Wait…before you let that phrase make you roll your eyes, let’s flip the script and think of […]
You’re worth it, so ask!
I have a friend who constantly bites off more than she can chew – in her home life, her parenting, her business, her friendships. She’s forever stressed and overwhelmed. She doesn’t understand her worth. She’s the one the PTA calls first and her boss asks to stay late. She bakes homemade cookies for fundraisers, traipses […]
Your Goal in 100 Days
A new year is upon us and with that an opportunity to start fresh, so let’s look at the first 100 days of the year! Refocus on what you truly want and start building the habits to get you those things. That’s one-third of the year, folks—a respectable chunk of time, but not so long […]
Winners Never Quit
Do you ever feel like the events of your life are controlling you, instead of the other way around? Even with a solid plan, there are times that it feels you are getting no traction and getting nowhere. There was someone in history who made a statement to that effect. He faced a number of […]
Sales Tips for Real Life
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” Yup, that song, as usual, has been popping up everywhere and anywhere, creating the soundtrack for our last-minute sprints to the mall, year-end cards and letters, and some true marathon sessions on Amazon. (I’m also on a first-name basis with the UPS man, and am considering inviting […]
