I'm often the guinea pig of my own coaching. I had a task I'd been putting off and putting off for at least 10 days--creating a warm letter to send to clients, friends and colleagues about the upcoming holistic cruise I'm participating in. I knew I had the...
I had the privilege of being the opening presenter at the Make.Art.Work series back in January. My topic, my specialty, was goal-setting. I got to be with the artists enrolled in the sessions held in Fairfield, New Haven and Hartford. I challenged them to come up...
There's much to report about the the Better After 50 (BA50) event I exhibited at yesterday, but the highlight for me was meeting Marci Alboher, the keynote speaker. It happens that she is a highly regarded colleague of both my daughter Lindsey and my brother Andy...
More Magazine featured entrepreneur Phylise Sands, the owner of Red Daisy, and her journey to success. If you'd like a realistic and sobering story about the ins and outs of bringing a product to market, read her story in the April issue. My favorite parts were...
I invited Lilli, an organizational expert, to address the women of my Mastermind Intensive yesterday. She focused her talk on Evernote, an online application which 50 million people, other than me, have found useful. Count me in now--50,000,001--since her demo and...
I'm excited to announce that I've been invited as a guest speaker on a cruise this November. This has long been a goal of mine--to vacation and work at the same time, which I encourage every lifestyle entrepreneur to do as well--figure out ways to incorporate your...
The newest member of my Mastermind Intensive, Jen Olbrys, had been my assistant for the last six months when a space in the group opened up. One of our members received the job opportunity of a lifetime which required an out-of-state move. Jen has also been our...
I've now clocked 6+ hours on LinkedIn and am looking for ways to challenge myself and go deeper (suggestions welcome). I created a subgroup of Connectors - 259 people from my connections (out of close to 800) who have 500+ connections themselves. I am deducing that...
As promised, I devoted over an hour today to working my LinkedIn network. First I answered the questions that popped up when I went to my profile, which took about 10 minutes. My profile is complete. I'm happy with it and ready to move on from this starting point....
I started my Soul Proprietor Coaching Program on February 1, have held two sessions with the entire community and two group coaching sessions so far. There's buzz going on in our private Facebook area and comments being posted as our members begin to take on the...
I've had accountability partners, aka goal buddies, for years. It's what keeps me on track on a daily basis. I also have a Mastermind group that I've been part of for a couple of decades. That's a monthly accountability structure for the bigger things I want to...
I feel so lucky to do what I do. Every day I interact with women business owners who share intimately with me and in the groups I lead. Running a business is a vulnerable and courageous commitment to self-actualization. It's a statement that you believe that...
I'll never forget my daughter Laura's pride in her accomplishment when she announced to our family that she had spent the afternoon getting her bookshelves organized in her room. I think she was all of 8 years old at the time. My expectation was that they would be...
Social Media Architect Brian Bish addressed my Mastermind Intensive on Friday about the why's and wherefore's of social media. It was a convincing talk, and I'm seeing a good deal of activity among our members as a result. Brian talked about the credibility of a...
