The next topic on this little self-discovery journey is self criticism. I said it was a major problem, and now looking back, I have no idea why I said that! I do criticize myself – my work, my habits, my appearance – but I’m not sure I’d class it as a major problem. In my [...]

 The topic today is perfectionism. Something I struggle with every day. I want those around me to be perfect, yet I can live with not being perfect myself. In the exercise that Steph and I did recently, I identified perfectionism as a significant problem. As we were going through this exercise, which involved “first thing [...]

“If you chase two rabbits, both will escape.” ~ Anonymous Focus is another of my challenges. In going through an exercise with my business coach, we identified areas that I need to *ahem* do some work in. And focus is definitely one of them. I’m easily distracted by BSO’s, bright shiny objects. As I was [...]

She’s gone to Chicago. Left this morning in a better mood than normal (but only because she wanted to borrow my headphones.) Nugget loves band. She plays trumpet, and does so very well, if I do say so myself! This opportunity came up a while ago though school, and – thanks to a partial scholarship [...]

 At the end of every rainbow there’s a pot of gold. What’s your pot of gold, and are you willing to climb the rainbow to get it? You see, there’s a steep path up that rainbow before you can slide down the other side and claim your reward. Do you have a plan for the rainbow [...]

It’s probably been instilled in you since you were knee high to the proverbial grasshopper. Work hard. And, no doubt that ethic will get you places. Every day heroes. The father who shows up for the same job day in, day out, and physically works hard – overtime, even – at the factory to provide [...]

Twenty- four little hours, brought thunder and showers where there used to be snow … Seems many are mourning the quick passing of the snow due to last night’s thunderstorm, here in my little midwest community. But face it, folks, there really wasn’t that much to begin with! There was a social media frenzy when [...]

If you know me, you may know that focus is not my strong point. And think about the implications of a person who is easily distracted using the internet as a tool for their business. SQUIRREL!! The work that I’m committed to involves keeping up with a number of profiles in various streams of social [...]

 Do you know your limit? Is your limit something that’s set in stone or something that changes with the circumstances? When you think about having a j.o.b., most of the time you are bound by limits. You clock in at 9, take lunch between noon and 1, then clock out at 5. The work you [...]

 I have my goals in place. And I’ve always had goals, but this time it’s different. “Yeah, yeah”, you say, “I’ve heard it all before” – and yes, you have. And I say, once again, that this time it’s different. This time, I took those goals and work backwards – analyzing and dissecting to come [...]
