Thumbnail image for There Are No Rules

What do you mean, there are no rules? Aren’t there always rules? Nope, not always. Growing up, we were taught to follow all the rules if we wanted to succeed – in school, sports, even in our family dynamics. But now that you’re a grown up (you are, aren’t you?!) you are better suited to [...]

Think Like a CEO

Your financial success will be determined by your ability to see yourself as the CEO of your business.

With friends like these…

With friends like these…you can’t help but be successful! It amazes me how quickly my power partners race out of the gate each new year. The amount of planning involved to make it look so easy is one of the things I admire about each of them. Planning has never been my strong suit – [...]

Dipping my toe in…

O.K. so here’s the thing. The past two weeks over the Christmas holidays I have been a complete and total sloth. I ate lots of desserts and even some fast food (actually, I fell in love with ChickFilA sauce). I sat around a lot and I  slept too much. And I didn’t work out, not [...]
