It Is A Journey After All!

Monday, December 6th, 2010

I listened to a teleseminar given by Suzanne Evans recently. She is a mindset and marketing coach who helps solopreneurs develop their businesses into profitable enterprises while helping a lot of people. She said that one of the things that many solopreneurs do but really shouldn’t – is to chase more than one bunny! Essentially, [...]

Sometimes I’m A Very Slow Learner!

Monday, October 18th, 2010

This past week has been interesting. I feel like I have been working very hard and very consistently but not always on the things that matter most. I realize that when I feel like that I need to look for the lessons in my choices and their outcomes. So what did I learn this past [...]

What Happens Is Simply What Happens!

Monday, September 20th, 2010

The past few weeks have been tough. It seemed like no matter what I did, it didn’t work out. Working on building my business – but not much success happening. Trying to set up fun things to do with friends, and things don’t work out. Adjusting my schedule to accommodate more of the things that [...]

Oops! I Forgot To Share!

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

So on Monday, I told you that I had finally discovered what I want to do with my life. And I recommended looking inward if you are also searching for that answer. I had been doing specifically that (looking inward) for over two years. I had found “my purpose” (helping people get unstuck) and understood [...]

Patience, Persistence, And Finally… Success!

Monday, July 26th, 2010

I am excited about the direction my life is taking at the moment. After a long time of struggling with the question of “what do I want to do when I grow up”, I have finally found the answer! Amazing! I started trying to figure out the answer to this question in high school. What [...]

Too Much Work And Not Enough Play? Schedule Some Real R&R!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

OK, there are some times when I am just a bit OCD about stuff. For example, this time diary thing. I have been keeping track of exactly how I spend my time. I don’t want to write down that I have spent my time “frivolously” so I have been working like crazy for the past [...]

Lessons From My Time Diaries!

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Keeping this time diary is an interesting process. Just knowing that I am going to write down what I do changes things. For example, I am spending less time doing things that don’t really help all that much – like the TV watching I mentioned last week. Then there is how much time I spend [...]

Kept Promises Feel Good!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Last week I wrote about keeping promises and promised that I would update you on how I did. So here is my update, in keeping with my promise. The summary is that I am doing a lot better. I only had to contact one person to ask if I had forgotten a promise to them. [...]

Keeping Promises Is Important (To Me)!

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

I have made promises recently that I haven’t kept very well. I fully intended to follow up and do all the things I promised to do, but I haven’t gotten to them all. I didn’t write them all down. And now I’m not certain I remember them all. It doesn’t feel very good. I have [...]

Positive Feelings Lead To Positive Thoughts!

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

In a recent blog entry, I talked about an invitation made by a coach I know to spend 30 days without thinking any negative thoughts. I said I wanted to do that because I could see how it would profoundly change my life. I was also aware of how frequently I fall into negative thinking [...]
