One of the things I’ll be talking about at my upcoming Launch Yourself LIVE workshop in DC is the mindset you need to start and grow your own business. In short, you have to make the time and put in the work. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? This is, of course, something you already know. [...]
Last night, I received an email from a woman I’ve never met before in my life. As far as I know, she and I have never even corresponded virtually, so her communication was that much more confusing. I deleted the email almost as soon as I read it, so I’ll have to paraphrase the gist [...]
When I reflect on where I am in my life at this point, I’m grateful that I can say I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I feel good about the work I’m doing now and the lifestyle I get to live. But it’s when I regress to thinking about the past – those shoulda, woulda, [...]
My theme word for 2013 is DESIRE. And I’ve begun to notice how it’s already showing up in two main areas of my life map: relationships and business. I’m being reminded of how much freedom there is in getting clear about what you really want. There is liberation in creating a vision for what you want [...]
Imagine for a moment that you’re going on a trip today. You’re taking a plane to your dream destination, all expenses paid. You arrive early to the airport, free plane ticket in hand, excited to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. You get to security and they won’t let you through. Puzzled, you start [...]

This week, I’ve been spending lots of quality time with family in Clearwater, Florida. It’s been too chilly to get in the water, but we’re still enjoying the beach! It’s funny because I actually don’t celebrate Christmas anymore and my family has started going way low-key for the holiday as well. I stopped buying and giving Christmas [...]
“Whatever you fear most has no power - it is your fear that has the power.” – Oprah Winfrey I experience the feeling of fear about a lot of things in my life. I’m afraid that my business will “fail.” More specifically, I fear that one of these days, no one will want to hire me to do anything anymore.
Back in 2009, I thought I needed a PhD to change the world. I wanted to write books and journal articles and conduct research that would totally redefine the way we view leadership. So what did I do? I applied to a PhD program, got in, took out a $10,000 loan and went back to school. [...]

Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible.” – Cherie-Carter Scott This morning, I sat in meditation, feeling overwhelmed by several decisions I have to make over the next few weeks.
