After Mastering Your Mindset (see last blog), the next step is…to take a step! When my clients start to Streamline and Vision, their minds go big and grandiose really quickly. It’s either that, or we are barely getting off the starting line. And there’s a lot of middle ground to cover. To create the right steps for you, start here. Define the end result. (Hint, go big, then consider “what can I change in 90 days?) You want the “end result” to be a stretch, yet manageable). After you have

You try hard. You follow the steps. Sort of. Mostly, you procrastinate. If only you could do it, like everyone else. You know how. So, what’s wrong with you? As it turns out, there is quite likely nothing “wrong” with you. What could be hurting you, however, is your “mindset.” What do I mean?

Creating new habits and getting them to stick can be hard and requires “discipline.” Now, I am not a big fan of this word, Discipline. However, many like it. For example, my son has a note on his mirror “Discipline or Regret.” Wow. So I think it works for some,

“I know what I need to do; I Just Need More Discipline” Right? NO. Raise your hand if you love discipline (crickets). Nobody likes discipline. OK maybe control-hungry, authoritarian micromanagers. Otherwise, what do we want? We want to feel like we matter. Our opinions matter. Our work matters. We are valued. So do stuff that matters. How is it that, even then, it’s not so easy? Great question. The Time Dilemma- here’s what’s really happnin’: THE FARSE REVEALED We often think we can achieve more in one day than is

We all want success, of course we do, it’s natural to want to create this for ourselves and those around us. But how do we keep on track? How do we make sure the path ahead is clear and we continue to make progress on our journey? Everyone will have their own unique method to stay on course but there are some questions you will need to ask yourself frequently, in order to stay on track. So, here they are. The 3 Critical Questions you need to frequently ask yourself:

For those of us who struggle with procrastination, learning how to stop worrying, and start doing seems like the holy grail. Most of us have busy lives, whether that’s running a business or running a home – or often both! There are usually things that we naturally tackle, like getting the kids ready for school for example, or checking our emails, but sometimes the other tasks we know we have to do just pile up and become like a mountain we must climb.
