I pulled in the driveway like I had hundreds of times before… and I didn’t notice anything different than I ever had. As usual, I was focused on other “things”. As I got out of the car and walked toward the front door… there it was. One, single purple flower in what might have once…
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…
I’ve heard so many people say there were surprised and taken off guard by our current situation. It’s interesting to me to hear that because the virus was in other countries before it was here.
