When You Aren’t The Right Person For The Job
Wait? We are self employed and commission based. Isn’t that the definition of – we are always the right person for the job? If you are operating from fear, yes. But if you are operating from a place of abundance and well versed in the 80 / 20 rule, the answer is no. Some things…
Read MoreAdmiral McRaven Was Right – It Starts With Making Your Bed
It’s all about the morning routine. All coaching seems to start with it. The idea is that there is value in doing certain things each morning: affirmations, reading something inspirational, working out, etc. The exact formula may vary, but the focus is to create a positive direction for the day. Admiral McRaven famously talked about…
Read MoreNotes From My Gratitude Journal
My guest for The 425 Show had to reschedule at the last minute this week. It’s a pretty rare occurrence, but when it does, the debate is always – to replay an episode or hop on the air and go solo. As comfortable as I’ve gotten doing the show, it’s a whole different feeling when…
Read MoreMore Lessons From the Pelaton
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, months really. With everything that is going on, I took some time off from blogging to process it all. I don’t know about you, but it seems like each time I wrap my head around one series of events, something new happens. It’s nuts out there. Thank goodness…
Read MoreAwareness + Action, The Ultimate Combo For Your Next Phase
One of the blessings from all of this is space. As our schedules lightened up, it provided the space to be present in daily life, and the option to do things differently. We are often busy going through the motions of life to “just get it done”. There isn’t an opportunity for the awareness of…

Read MoreWhy Reviewing Your Stats For 2019 Is A Bad Idea
This post goes against pretty much every business plan ever written. You know the ones – the first 5 pages are spent disecting the current year, and from there you are supposed to spend the next 5-10 pages mapping out the next year? Have you ever actually filled out those first 5 pages? I mean…

“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be” Maya Angelou I walked by this tree the other day and it took my breath away. Something about the light and the intensity of the yellow leaves – it seemed to glow. A beautiful, bright beacon, standing taller…
Read MoreMaking Decisions a Daily Habit – Know Your Process
In keeping with last week’s – lessons learned from our remodel – today’s topic is decision making. (We are almost there!) More importantly YOUR decision making process, identifying it, owning it and trusting it. Picking paint and carpet before listing a property is easy. Putting together paint, counter tops, a back splash, cabinet pulls, faucets,…
Read MoreIt’s Okay To Want Something Different
I posted this picture a few weeks ago before embarking on a kitchen remodel, and the comments amazed me. Many asked why we were changing something that already looked pretty good. I have to admit second guessing myself a bit as well. Once the clutter was cleared off the counter, it didn’t look that bad.…
