Some Mindset and Foundational Reminders

Some of you guys might know that a few of my “divinepreneur“* colleagues started a 21 Day Blitz last week where there are no pretenses about what we want to get done, how we want to support each other and share valuable ideas and content within our respective areas of expertise in the process. I had this urge to type [...]

One Solution to Leverage and Legacy

Cynthia’s challenge: “Going from the idea to marketing. I have two very good ideas, one is a t-shirt idea, and the other is an educational system for teenagers to receive exposure, planning, and a technique for goals.  I don’t even know where to start on either.” This challenge excited me–particularly her idea for the educational [...]

I’m Drowning! Help!

Susi shared a number of challenges with me… She’d written me several paragraphs about what was going on with her (internet marketing challenges, scams from a number of products she’s purchased, no sales from online ads, learning all the technology, trying to figure out what she can do generally to make money with several ideas), [...]

Addressing the Fulltime Job Transition to Entrepreneurship

In looking through the list of challenges that were submitted to me over time from my subscribers, I realize that I may have missed a number of issues in some of the telecalls that I’ve done. So I’m going to start addressing some of the challenges (chosen randomly) right here! Take Sheryl for example. She [...]

What Does Productivity Without Effort Look and Feel Like?

It isn’t every day that I get to be interviewer and subject simultaneously, but that’s what happened a couple of weeks ago when Wendy Yellen took me on a powerful (and in some ways, unexpected!) journey using a human technology I’d never heard of–talk about a “best kept secret” in my mind! If you’d like [...]

Your Top 5 Talents Will Increase Your Productivity

Back in December 2008, I’d written a post that implied that always playing to only your strengths wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be and had referenced something that hit a nerve in the book, Strengthsfinder 2.0 by Tom Rath. Despite my thoughts about playing to your passions no matter what, I have [...]

I Can’t Catch a Break and It’s All THEIR Fault!

You know the type: “They’re just lucky!” they say. “Life dealt me a bad hand.” Says who? If you are perpetually stuck in inertia because the stars just don’t seem to be aligned for you in particular, you might want to check your perception. Or hey, you might know someone who continuously shows up that [...]

Local Lady Will Leverage Her Leadership and Create a Legacy

This Sunday morning (3/15/09) I saw an opportunity to suggest to a fellow choir member (and life/biz coach) a way she could leverage her expertise, save time in the process, and create a legacy after she’s gone. The very abridged story is in the video below. What fun serendipity! If the technology is getting in [...]

Does Time in Effort Necessarily Equal Value?

I don’t believe that it does. A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Rod Alan Richardson, Business Consultant and Trainer. He supported what I believe and what so many other successful entrepreneurs have proven: That the time it takes to deliver value and the amount of money received for that value [...]

Get Fit and Productive in 2009 – Interview with JoLynn Braley

I had an excellent call yesterday with JoLynn Braley, the expert on Losing Weight from the Inside Out. Not only was my interview with JoLynn great fun, I also learned many things that I didn’t know about weight loss, specifically how imperative it is that you include all parts of yourself in the process if [...]
