I'm slightly obsessed with "hacking myself", with discovering why I do what I do, and why anyone does what they do. It's fascinating.

Why are some people internally motivated, while others need more deadlines and accountability? Why do we make big plans and then not go all in, taking our foot off the gas at the last moment? Why are some people risk-takers and others risk-averse? Why do we have super productive days sometimes and then days or weeks of spinning our wheels making very little...

Many entrepreneurs (maybe you?) are natural rebels and independent thinkers, which is awesome and I wouldn’t want to be anything or anyone else, but we can rebel against even ourselves!

We rebel against any rules or systems even though having systems in place can elevate us, even though “rules” for different areas of life can ultimately lead us to the results we say that we want!

First, become the person, then get the result!

Who gets the results? The person who is wishing, shoulding, thinking about, or as we say here in the South "fixing to"? Or, the person who is learning, doing, taking action, decided, and committed? Of course, we all know, it's the decided action taker but we often don't realize how easy it is to flip the switch!

You can go from being someone who dreads marketing their business to someone who is learning new ways to market their business with a...

Yesterday, I was repotting a few plants and I am not a “plant person” but people keep moving and giving me plants and I do have a nice sunny light-filled house so I try. I had one plant (some kind of desert palm guy) who was completely root bound, there was almost no soil left and I had to work and work to loosen the roots enough to get him out of the pot. This plant was completely stuck and as a result not only couldn’t grow but was starting to suffer. 

I think we can...

Much of the good stuff in life takes place outside of your comfort zone! Learning new things, starting a business, going on adventures, it’s all a bit risky, but where would we be without taking risks? Probably at home on our couches that’s where and although that’s fun occasionally there is so much more to life!

I’d like to share with you a few tools I use to take more risks in life, let me know in the comments below if you have any to add to our list.

I love the holidays, decorating, spending time with family and friends, cooking & sharing delicious food, and picking out gifts I think people will really like.

I also don’t love the holidays, the extra cleaning, wrapping presents (so annoying and time-consuming), getting out of my normal routines feels stressful, the high expectations for picture-perfect events often leads to stress or disappointment when people inevitably act like imperfect humans and did I mention the extra...

  Are you honoring your commitments to yourself? Self matters too, just as we give time to others, time for ourselves matters too...

During times of transitions and change, we find ourselves being energetically in two places.  That transition time is often a place of confusion, frustration and is most definitely not an easy place to be at because you will be stepping into the unknown. So can you energetically be in two places? Decisions decisions...

I am so excited to share with you about monthly challenges and how they can help you change your life for the better and reach your goals! A monthly challenge is a great way to practice a new behavior, and that can lead to developing better habits over time because forming new habits and breaking bad habits is a multi-step process.

Step one is making the decision to change, try something new, or be more consistent in any area of life. What do you want to work on this month? What do you want...

“Of course motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis.” – Zig Ziglar

Motivation comes and goes but it's what moves us forward towards our goals so when it wanes I take action! Here are a few things to look at if you aren't feeling motivated:

1. Are you too comfortable? Yes, we can become too comfortable, our paycheck meets our needs things aren't demanding massive action so we can just coast along. That's...
