Fail fast, fail often –

Monday, October 27th, 2008

And success cannot elude you.- Carrie Wilkerson, The Barefoot Executive. Thank you Carrie for reminding me that I have failed at so many things and couldn’t be happier about that. It means that I’m that much closer to my success. But, also, it reminded me that I really don’t like using the word failure. Because [...]

Random thoughts

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

What is a rule of thumb? Why is something simple – “A piece of cake?” That would cost an arm and a leg!  At some point in time, did people have to pay for things with body parts? Nasty!! At the drop of a hat.  Huh? What is square one and why do we have [...]

I feel your pain

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

No, I don’t.  How could I? As I’m not that intuitive I can only feel mine.  But, I can understand your frustrations.  Maybe you are feeling stuck in a rut in your life or you have challenges that you’re facing.  Is your relationship with your spouse making you unhappy?  Do you have a weight issue?  [...]

There’s no joy in Red Sox Nation

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Last night, for fellow members of the tribe in Red Sox Nation, we witnessed an event we’re not used to – the Sox lost and aren’t going to the World Series. The Rays jumped all over each other, yelling and screaming and no doubt had a champagne and cigar fest in the locker room. They [...]

Stick figures = six figures

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

??? Simple – yet profound. How stick figures led to a six figure income. A big Thank You to Connie Ragen Green for sharing this valuable info as part of her chapter for my upcoming book on women who make six figures and more doing what they love. If you put just this concept into [...]

Keep it up

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

On Sunday, I posted that this was going to be accountability week.  I hope you got your list of things you just had to get done for the week.  It’s Tuesday – are you on track?  Do you need a push?  Have you even made your list yet? One of mine is that I have [...]

Who do you answer to?

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

This is all about accountability. Where the rubber meets the road. Where you actually do and follow through with what you commit to. Since it’s Sunday, I wanted to give you an idea that can make you have a great, productive and happier week. See, it’s a cycle. You make a decision to do something, [...]

Do you wanna be on Oprah?

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

I’ve been to a few seminars recently and at each one Oprah’s name is mentioned. Authors – they want to get on Oprah, speakers – they want to get on Oprah. It seems as if they think Oprah is the Holy Grail and their key to the castle. I don’t need to get on Oprah. [...]

The Sky is falling – at least that’s what the experts tell us

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

From what I hear, there’s a recession going on. It’s tough economic times and people are stressed and scared. Personally, I am facing a lawsuit brought against me by an ex-business partner with a trial in less than ten days. I can’t post specifics until it’s over, but needless to say that could cause me [...]

Reality films

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

I know that there is reality tv, but they’re not my reality!! I like to take lessons from films instead. This lesson comes from the movie Glory. I watched it last night and while I thought it could have had more character development – it was a good story. The basic story was of the [...]
