Is It Good Enough?
It almost got me. That very familiar feeling. Even now as I’m about to launch something I’m excited about. Maybe because of it. That oh-so-specific twang in my stomach created by the old, old, old thought, “Is it good enough?” I’ve heard that thought so many fuqing times that I became conscious of it. I finally understand it. I am so aware that opinion is quite simply something that I’ve been experiencing. Basically, just because I heard it, I believed it. That opinion wasn’t actually me all along. Well…if that’s the case… I guess I never had to listen to it in the first place… Damn. Okay then. Time to…

You are Not Your Business
A woman is walking down the street, on her way home from a business meeting. She reaches in her purse, pulls out her phone and looks down at it. It’s dead. She seems frustrated, shoves it back in her purse and picks up the pace. She unlocks the door to her apartment, sets down her things and goes to straight to her computer.

But the hardest-learned lessons stick with you the most. What stops us from being Awesome?

What Does it Really Take to Follow Your Dreams?
Many people, in this time of awakening consciousness, are choosing to follow the pursuits of their hearts and dreams instead of running the incessant rat race. In some cases that dream means starting their own business. For some, the adventurous path is going back to school. For the audacious their heart pulls them to the arts. The glory of finally determining what your heart calls you to do can last for some time. It provides a natural lightness to everyday existence that everyone should get the chance to experience. When I knew coaching was my next step, I walked around in the glory of the realization for over a year,…

Why the [BLEEP] Should I Hire a Coach? And Other Smart Questions
The doors are officially open for my business. And I’ve been busy doing a bunch of Business Breakthrough Sessions – and getting clients. And the number one question I’ve been getting is: What is coaching really all about? I had a similar conversation with my friend Cooper. I thought recapping our conversation was a great way to explain it. Let’s see if you agree. Cooper is widely known as the guy who says, and asks, inappropriate things – usually at a high volume. He’s wonderful, and a brat, all at the same time. And I love him terribly. But when I was told him I was a Transformational Business Coach,…
