During the Halloween season, we spend a lot of time thinking about what we (or our kids) are going to dress up as…what we’re going to pretend to be for a day. This year, I propose you dress up as a farmer and fully embrace all that that costume entails! Confused? Don’t worry – you’re…
Do you believe in the power of your words? What about the power of your thoughts? As an entrepreneur, you probably practice manifestation or visualizing your goals to help you achieve them.

As a small business owner, odds are you’re presented with exciting new opportunities on a daily or weekly basis.

Being an entrepreneur is even more complicated than being a human, and, to be honest, being a human isn’t always that easy.

Taking control of…
The battle is real. The fight to get enough sleep is a common theme I’ve seen in the lives of my clients and even myself over the years. Your productivity is dependent on the sleep you get. (spoiler alert: you might be showing up to work legally drunk without meaning to.) In this video I…
Decision fatigue is real. It’s that niggling exhaustion that creeps in throughout the day and leaves you unable to choose between two different pasta shapes at dinner time.

Did you know you’re on the right track? That you’re exactly where you are meant to be, where you’re supposed to be. There is truth in those words. At this time of year the hype is beginning “New Year’s Resolutions”, “2016 Transformations”, “How to Become Everything You Want in 2016”… and the messages parade on……
One of the beautiful things about success in business is that it often comes down to thinking outside the box and being unapologetically you. Hold a vision. Be the vision. Succeed at the vision. This video by Bob Proctor is one I’ve watched nearly 100 times and that’s saying something. (I almost never watch a…
Priorities, priorities, priorities. The holiday season is officially upon us and you know what that means… stress, scrambling and time crunch, especially as an entrepreneur. This season even more so than others I believe it’s essential to make your time, energy and focus count. Wasted time just amplifies the potential negative aspects of the season.…
Happy day-before Thanksgiving! Here in the USA we are preparing for a day of gratitude. I’m grateful for you!!

This week I’ve been focused on clearing the decks in my business and life.

The chill of Fall is settling in here in the northeastern United States. As everyone begins wearing sweaters and drinking pumpkin spice everything it’s the perfect time to take an evaluative look at your surroundings, especially your office.
Time, even when accidentally mismanaged, cannot be repeated. Once you spend time it’s spent. Over the last three weeks time has become very precious for me as various life and business milestones crowd my seemingly finite supply in both joyful and sometimes frustrating ways.
Recently I’ve become acutely aware that many people have the WRONG IDEA about productivity. Productivity isn’t a path to burnout. Productivity isn’t being a robot. Productivity isn’t restrictive.
As time goes on I understand on a deeper and deeper level that the biggest influencer of productivity is our own mindset and frame of mind. What is your frame of mind? Where do you most often dwell from a mindset perspective?
How often do you feel drained, overwhelmed and overworked? As an entrepreneur chances are you feel this way daily. I recently heard a quote that I’ve taken to heart: “Success is not what you say ‘yes’ to. It’s what you say ‘no’ to.” -Roger Hamilton As I’ve been internalizing this wisdom I’ve deepened my…

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road. Even when your family, friends and network of fellow entrepreneurs support you… it can be a difficult climb.

My hubby and I are just back from our blissful 10-day belated-honeymoon in France. We traveled to Nice and Paris. It was a decadent and luxurious trip. While I was away for the last 2.5 weeks (we made side trips on the way to France and back), I did less than three hours of…
My life and business have been running full throttle for the last few months and won’t be letting up until the New Year. As a result I’ve been deeply examining what I believe is true productivity.

I recently started reading a book that has transformed my life, The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. Within its life-changing pages one of the key lessons I’ve gleaned is about the power of habit. Our habits create us. {Click to Tweet} It is through our habits that we create our results whether desirable or undesirable,…
People often ask me what the number one productivity strategy for entrepreneur success is.

Without effective time and task management you won’t get results. You won’t reach…
A couple weeks ago I was attending a mastermind group for three days with my business mentor, Fabienne Fredrickson. While I was there, I had a lot of people approaching me asking me how I organize my notes so perfectly. I told them they’d have to wait and see in a week when I…
I recently returned from a 5-day trip to work with my business mentor, Fabienne Fredrickson, and learn from her at the Client Attraction Business School**.

Life throws a lot of curve balls. Curve balls. The words alone make my skin curl. For me that term represents what I perceive to be barriers to my dreams and aspirations. I am a goal-oriented person. I’m just wired that way. I look to the future. I look to the impact I’m making and…
Are you overwhelmed by projects? Do they always seem to be out of control? The solution is to brainstorm it all out into a mind-map. Many entrepreneurs struggle with project management. I believe the problem often isn’t managing the project, rather it’s not creating a full project plan in the beginning or structuring it. The…
Sometimes you learn things in the most unlikely of places. I find they’re often the best lessons too because they land the deepest. I decided this week to share a video I recorded “off the cuff” three weeks ago. After sharing it here and there on social media I have been hearing how powerful it…

Photos seem to universally fall into the “I’ll organize them someday” category. Then someday never comes. Organizing photos, while not essential to daily life, does make enjoying and retrieving your memories a much easier process. I recently had a request for a video on the best way to organize photos and the best way to…
Are you a morning person? I know that I’m not naturally one, which makes me even more deliberate in trying to make sure that mine go smoothly. Stressful or rushed mornings are not a good start to any day. They make you grouchy and reactive instead of positive and proactive, the latter of which are…
Do you ever feel like giving up on your dream of an organized office and efficient business? Do you chug along on your tracks until you get to a project that feels like a hill or mountain and you start to consider bailing on the mission altogether when things get hard? You’re not alone.…
Online logins are difficult to keep track of. Just think for a moment of what they consist of.

Today I’m going to share with you the Taj Mahal of DIY closet organizers. When Jess and I moved into our first condo together there was no linen closet. GASP! I put on my creative thinking cap to strategize how to build a linen closet, within a standard clothes hanging closet without altering the…
Each week I create new videos with organizing tips, productivity strategies and time management secrets. This week I’m going to mix it up.

Knowing how to pack for a trip is crucial to having everything you need on your adventures (or business trip.) Through my travels around the world I have found several items to be absolute travel essentials. By using these travel items you will improve your travel organization, which will help you have a good…
Business cards are such crucial pieces of paper for staying in touch with people and networking, but they are overwhelming to organize. Many of my clients have business cards sprinkled throughout their office, home, bags and car. Unfortunately, this means that they can’t find people contact information when they need it. If you’re an…
Do you struggle to find the energy to get organized? So many people are sending up smoke signals saying, “Help me get organized! Please!” If you are one of them, you are not alone. I get asked questions like this all of the time. How do I get organized? You want to know how…
I have a confession. I am in love with Ikea’s Expedit shelving units. If you don’t know what those are, it’s okay. Ikea Expedit shelves are the shelves you are probably seeing everywhere with the large 14 inch cube shelf compartments. They come in all sorts of configurations making them wildly versatile. Despite my…
