The first time I talked to somebody about strategic growth in their business, they looked at me like I had three heads and said, “What is that?”. That was probably 20 years ago now. I’m still talking about strategic growth with my clients and to people who attend my events or who hear me speak….
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,…
So many business owners talk about strategy but don’t strategically set their business up to have success. Instead of having a sound, designed strategy, they just randomly do things in their businesses. To be fair, even a stopped clock is right twice a day…so sometimes, this haphazard way of doing things works for a while….
Over the years I’ve trained my brain to look for marketing and business lessons… pretty much everywhere. And there are some great examples to learn from.

Have you ever found yourself answering the question about why you’re doing something with “because THEY told me to?” Who’s They? When you do things because everyone else is doing it or because you saw it on somebody else’s social media feed, take heed. Are you the leader in your business or are you following?…
Do you think about the reasons WHY you do what you do? Or do you just do things to get them done? Or because you’re “supposed” to do this or that? There is strategy and then there’s flying by the seat of your pants and being haphazard about the things you do. Specifically, in your…
As we roll into Memorial Day weekend, I hope you find your business rolling along – at least as well as it was at the beginning of the year…if not better than it was then. Several people responded to a Facebook post I put up earlier this week that their businesses were doing great and…
