My first "napkin" of new directions
I've spent the last several weeks doing some research over some new avenues I'd like to explore with my company. Well travelled roads that I've travelled with some long term clients, that I have long believed have a place in "the market." I've been encouraged as I've...
Goal setting as a way of life
One of my affirmations that I see every day is this: I am a success. I set goals that are important to me and do what is necessary to achieve them. I am seeing more and more the value of goals. So many things that have got me "stuck" in the past could be attributed to...
Core Values
I've been on a search for some core values in my life lately, and also for my business. Priorities, Goals, and Values. They all seem similar, yet also different. Goals most certainly change over time, and Priorities seem to be my interpretation of what's most...
Casting Cares and Unloading Burdens

Financial Development – Where I Stand Now Narrative
This week I'm looking at the "financial / career" development piece of my life puzzle. There's a survey I have to take at the beginning of the section, and as I did that, I found myself with quite a few strong strengths, and quite a few weak weaknesses. There were a...
Where I want to get to with my business
I spent the last 90 minutes out on my deck... first doing some reading, and then doing some pacing, talking out loud, and the occasional pullup as I talked through some real stuff. And I realized some things: 5 years from now, I don't want to be doing what I'm doing...
When did I become a leader?
"When did I become a leader?" I had that question asked to me via text message last night by a teenage friend of mine. I had mentioned to her about how a little prayer ministry she was championing didn't have anybody except little old me show up this past week while...
