I just dropped my daughter off for swim practice at 6:45am! She is starting high school and has never done competitive swimming before, but she signed up for the swim team in order to meet some people and get some great physical activity.

Have you ever seen the image where there are two ways to get from point A to point B? The first one is a long, winding, tangled line and the second is a nice, straight line?

I’m having control issues.
As an entrepreneur and the only full-time person in my business, I have gotten used to being in control of what happens. If I’m completely honest, it’s one of the things I love about working for myself. I get to be in control!

In fact, seeing that evolution over time is a big part of what makes following a particular blog or person online […]
Your heart is racing.
Your hands are sweating and trembling.
Is it fear? Or is it excitement? How you perceive these things and how you choose to react to them has a huge impact on your success and growth.
Everyone deals with these physical symptoms when we stretch ourselves. And I mean everyone. In today’s video I share […]
We are living in an age of instant gratification.
We want what we want, and we want it NOW.
It’s true there are some areas where we can get that, but online marketing is not one of them.
Yes, getting instant results sometimes seems possible. There are articles or videos that go viral. You’ve seen others doing […]
