Why pull weeds? Because it’s a change from sitting frozen in front of your computer screen, and more fun than the gym – really! How many hours a week are you seated? At a desk or conference table? At a meal table? Behind the wheel of your car? And how many minutes are you exercising [...]

If you find yourself constantly thinking about things you’re not getting done, it’s time to clear out the mental chatter and recover all that distracted attention.

Your daily tasks may be getting in the way of building your business. 80 percent of my clients report they’re so busy they don’t have time to work on ‘growing’ their company.

Change 1 TANGLE And You Can Change It All!

August 5, 2008

One of my favorite exercises is the “Pretzel Test.” We often spend our days taking care of business on automatic and not paying very much attention to the mutterings of our subconscious.

Change 1 VISION And You Can Change It All!

July 30, 2008

Releasing objects and ideas we’re holding onto is a very powerful process.
