After a couple minor slow downs on the trip, we pulled into the resort, went to the room, and got changed for a dinner of dover sole (it’s fish… and if you’ve never had it, you’re truly missing out!) and some live jazz music. Ok, there might have been a couple appletini’s in there too……
Do you take time off throughout the year? I have a timeshare in Cocoa Beach, Florida. For one glorious week every year I go there and sit on the beach, eat good food, rest, have fun and for the last couple years have been blessed to have shared that time with my love. Can’t you…
How often do you completely unplug? No client calls… No email… No social media… No writing… No business books, podcasts, etc. Nothing related to business on your agenda for a week – or more! When was the last time you did that?I don’t do it as often as I should but when I do take…

After you complete the sale there’s an offer for a similar item for about 50% off. If you say no, they offer you the same item… now for…
As I started to write this, I realized today is a very special day and all I could do was sit here and smile… One of the BIG Cheesy grins that takes up your whole face! You know what I mean, right? And, then I couldn’t stop smiling – – – I still have the…
Why is a marketer, a coach, a strategist and implementation specialist talking about happiness? As much as I’m known for all of those things, I also do a lot of work around mindset with clients.

Wow! Ever had one of those kinds of weeks? In a good way… Touching souls this week at the Shift-It Bootcamp™. It’s amazing how doing what you love makes you feel. I’m finishing up today with my highest-level clients in an all-day Mastermind. It’s a great way to wrap up after a live event. Then,…
