It’s the first work week of 2020. Are you crushing it? In my perfect world, I would put all of my sales for the next 12 months into escrow right now. All with 30 days closes, and then I’d spend the rest of the year on a beach somewhere soaking up the sun. The reality…

Purpose is a charged word for me. There’s lots of talk about finding and living your purpose. What does that even mean? When people talk about purpose, it’s often in a bigger context of some world changing action like creating a foundation or non profit to have a global impact. Talking about purpose often makes…

You don’t have to be a creative writing expert to be a great story teller. The reality is that we tell ourselves stories all day long. Stories about why our business is where it is / or isn’tStories about why a relationship is the way it isStories about what we can / or can’t accomplishStories…

This is one of my favorite things to do each year. After all of the goal setting, action planning, visualizing, etc is done. (Or even instead of all of those things if it’s too overwhelming.) It’s time to break it down. Grand gestures sound good, but are often difficult to sustain. It’s the small things…

With all of the talk about goal setting, upping your game, being your best self, etc it’s important to remember to be kind to yourself. Nothing good comes out of beating yourself up for what you should or could have done, or blaming others for things. Know that we all have wins and loses. Things…

Wow! How about those Seahawks? Football fan or not, Monday’s game against the 49’ers was one for the record books. Talk about excitement – to win in the last second of overtime is amazing. There were some great takeaways from that game. The biggest one of which is – sometimes you need ALL of the…

I loved reading your responses to last week’s post! It’s amazing what a difference 2 little words can make. What if statements are designed to dissolve resistance and open you up to possibilities. From that state it’s easier to see options that were hidden before. This week it’s all about owning your ability to create.…

The 4th quarter is the new 1st quarter when it comes to mapping out goals and creating a plan. As we roll into conference / goal setting season I wanted to share a phrase that has made a huge difference. If you are like a lot of people (me included) these events can be inspiring…

I’ve been guilty of this lately. My normal MO is to decide I want something, and then take action. In many cases, the creating is half the fun. It’s always interesting to see the magical way things come together. But lately I’ve been putting off taking action while I wait to see what the market…

Today is the first official day of summer, and Ryan’s first day of vacation. Things feel different already. During the school year everything is pretty regimented. The schedule is dictated by external factors such as work, school, homework, sports, etc. Getting anything done is about “fitting it in” or “making it happen”. On the one…
