It’s finally here, and I’m so excited!
Those of you who know me, follow my blog or have been clients know that I’m nuts about the enneagram, a personality type system based on ancient Sufi wisdom that tells us about our spiritual life paths.
But I rarely talk about the enneagram on this site. It always [...]

As you evolve in your life, trying to learn to trust your intution, your path seems to become much less….dependable. And not so much a straight-down-the-line-to-where-you-can-see-the-end walkway. It’s more like an invisible yellow brick road. And nobody else can see it or feel it but you.
So how DO you know or learn to trust that [...]

I was on the radio with Laura Cruikshank of WWISH for about 2 minutes when a caller appeared. I let him on the air with us and within a few seconds of him speaking, I realized who it was!
I’m always amazed by the serendipity and magic of life. I had thought this would be my [...]

It’s almost a trick question, isn’t it, asking about “feelings” in the same breath as business? Aren’t we supposed to keep our emotions out of our businesses?
Whatever!
One of my visions for the new year is to dispell this idea that our emotions and businesses are separate things, that we can just keep them separate neatly [...]

I got the awesome opportunity to do a half-hour radio show with Kelley Jones of StartYourOwnBusiness.com this week. We talked about one of the least discussed issues in entrepreneurship: emotions!
I am so fired up about letting people know that emotions are a crucial part of being in business for yourself (let alone of being human [...]

I have a confession to make.
I love movies. Not in a classy way, like loving cinema or indie films, but straight-up, main-stream popcorn-chugging flicks. Other people are audiophiles or literary snobs; I’m a major studio movie freak.
I love them because I do believe, as Steve Martin says in Grand Canyon, “all life’s riddles are answered [...]

While I was searching online tonight, I came across a beautiful article poet Dana Gioia wrote about passion. In it, he speaks about the artist’s lifelong dance with passion, in a way that reminds me of nearly every entrepreneur I know, including myself:Â
Passion…is not an emotion attached to a single goal but a pervasive, permanent desire [...]

When I was a kid, I got called lazy a lot. My mom would come home, find out I hadn’t weeded the lawn or picked up the dog poo, and then tell me, disgustedly, that I was very lazy.
Well, I certainly wasn’t the most obediant kid, that’s for sure. But in recent years, I’ve come [...]

What is the single most common factor among successful entrepreneurs?
That’s the question keynote speaker Scott Berkun asked me and the other 200 attendees of the indie biz conference BizJam this weekend. We shouted out answers about creativity, wealth, and dedication.
Turns out, the answer is slightly more surprising. Scott says the thing most successful starters have [...]

Imagine a room full of 30 graduate students, trained in psychotherapy and fresh out of mental health agency internships. Picture these students facing the end of their school, end of their community, and end of their routines: they’re heading into uncertainty, most not having any idea what comes next. Private practice? More agency work? What [...]
