As I get older, I realize that scrambling through life doesn't get you anywhere...only ten steps behind to reaching your goal. This is true for both your personal life and as a business owner. The other day I had every intention to get ahead of my never-ending to-do list. My plan was to tackle some necessary errands then spend the afternoon working. Instead of sticking to my plan, I sat down to answer emails. After about an hour, I looked at the clock and realized I was alrea

You sit down for a nice dinner with friends. You’re excited to catch up and have a good meal. Then it happens. We all have that one friend. You know, the one who is so excited to tell their story that they end up with a wad of partially chewed food in their puffed up cheek and remnants of the spinach and artichoke dip stuck on their front tooth. They have a great story to tell, really good news, and you want to be happy for them...you want to listen; but all you can do is att

Clarity doesn’t get talked about much in business and it’s such an important topic when it comes to charging premium prices, that it’s the first part of my next several posts in The Premium Series. What really is clarity? It’s the difference between “I think” vs. “I know”. Do you know with certainty what you’re offering to your cus

I’m a big fan of the Philadelphia 76ers and attended their 2019 NBA Play-offs. I noticed something crucial to the results of the game that relates to the importance of business coaching... The opposing team took a shot, and the 76er player forgot to “box-out” (if not familiar with basketball terms, boxing out is a way to establish and maintain a rebounding position between the basket and your opponent. A player “boxes out” another player by positioning himself between the oth

I recently went on vacation. It was actually the first vacation with our daughter. Only being a little over 2 months we weren’t sure how she would do on a trip away from home. She had been sleeping 7-8 hours a night so I know we are very very lucky. I’m actually afraid to write it! 1) For backlash from the people that did not have this experience, which I realized quickly our experience is not the norm. 2) Fear that it would change our current good fortune. Obviously it was

ENVISION I want you to take a minute and envision what your life would look like if you got your business where you want it? If your business model makes your life more difficult as you grow then your business model is broken. Most people have an end goal and do not realize that it actually makes their life ALOT worse in the journey. I spent much of my time and energy designing the life I WANT. This life is best for me which allows me to show up the best for my family, my cl
