I’ve discovered something really interesting in terms of human behavior over the last few years. I’m shocked to notice how often people stop themselves by using excuses for not doing something in their business, and in their lives. The thing is, they’re not even aware of it. Here’s what I mean… People SAY they want…

Six Big Goal Secrets
Recently I offered a “simple plan” to double your business this year. But ultimately, no plans are simple. They are always more complex than they seem. And after all, as one blog commenter remarked, “How many consultants can actually HANDLE 17 to 19 new clients a year? I certainly can’t.” Quite right. Then that’s not…
Shifting Into “Action You”
Last week I talked about overwhelm and the power of stepping into “Focused You” who can’t be overwhelmed, distracted or discouraged, no matter the circumstances. But you might say the whole purpose of Focused You is to pave the way for “Action You.” Action You is one of your most powerful personalities or selves. He…
Knowledge or Know-How?
We all know way too much. And yet we want to know more. And it seems that information is being generated in even larger volumes than ever before. Keeping up is impossible. Just try to link to a fraction of the blogs, resources, news items, articles and videos linked in the average Twitter feed over…
Stop Planning, Forget The “How”, Just Go For It!
We’ve stretched, looked into the fears of dreaming TOO big (is there such a thing?!) and looked at all the other emotions that come up once we’ve actually MADE the decision to play a bigger game.

Seth Godin came out with a book, “Poke the Box” that is all about getting started, not some day but NOW! But it seems that the pressures to delay are stronger than the pressures to act. I had a big breakthrough several years ago. I was sitting in my office under a dark cloud of…
Go Big or Go Home
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure… Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.” – Marianne Williamson, A Return To Love After sharing my personal “Video Vision…
The Overwhelm Prescription
I don’t think the biggest epidemic these days is the flu. No, the virus that’s going around these days is overwhelm (the American strain is Overwhelmus Americanus). If you’re not sure you have it, here are the most common symptoms: Feeling buried or drowned by a huge mass of information, ideas and to-dos. The huge…
Ruthless Time Management
Clients are always so curious about how I manage to get it all done. And it’s no wonder because now that I see it all down on paper, it does seem like a lot. But, before you think I’ve got it all figured out, let me be very transparent with you. I have a crazy…
