I’ve been blessed to be gifted with some major clarity on my brand lately. Wait, we talk about “brands” a lot. Maybe I should clarify: I don’t mean brand, I mean my life’s work. I’ve spent a lot of time observing and researching, and educating myself on, the concepts of internet marketing this past year….
From the day I launched the Day Designer, the number one request we got was for tabs. Over the year, it’s been fun to see how people have dressed up their own planners with tabs. I found a set at Target, and have been using those on my own Day Designer for the majority of…
I really should be sleeping. Awake last night until 4 a.m., and then up quickly at 7:45, my alarm clock being a two-and-a-half year old who spilled his cheerios on the floor in front of the TV. I made a quick effort to get Authenticate, the e-program, launched, and then it was afternoon. So I…
The older I get, the more my limitations surprise me. You know that phrase, “You can be anything, but not everything”? Every time I read that mantra, I find myself inwardly rebelling. “WHAT??!?!?” screams my determined dreamer mindset. “Who says?” (That’s the playground throw-down talk coming out.)

Oh my word, blog friends. Would it be ok with you if I just wrote a scattered blog post? Just something so jam-packed full of everything that’s been going on? No dots to connect, just a brain dump. Is that ok? Thanks. First of all, I’m still fresh off the plane from two days away…
Thank you, Amanda, for sending me this article. My favorite nugget: When someone asks how we’re doing and we answer “Busy,” Minow argues, it’s a statement of our own self-importance and the relative lack of importance of the person we’re talking to, which automatically precludes the possibility of authentic interaction.

You know what I’m tired of hearing? The statement, “I don’t know how you do it all.” It’s not a fair statement, to be honest. In fact, a quick analysis of the statement, with or without context, tells me two very simple things. The first issue at hand is that the stater feels less than,…
When I speak, I try SO hard to give credit where credit is due. I cite my sources, I give referrals, I pay it forward. There is a lot of good content out there, and I realize those authors and speakers have worked diligently to make that content their own, and I feel that making…
