I recently had an epiphany.Our foyer desperately needs wallpaper.Like, how could we have gone this long with barren walls? Why didn’t any of our friends tell us how sub-par our entrance was? Has the UPS guy been traumatized for years by this ghastly oversight?It is my new obsession.Soooo, as I sat down yesterday with my…
“What is that?“My hubby did a double-take as he walked by my 16-year-old’s room.“What?” as if my son had no idea what he was talking about.There he lay with a brand new flat screen tv propped up on a folding table at the end of his bed.“Oh that. Mom said I could get anything I want.”Let’s…
I didn’t suck up enough. I didn’t hang around the right people. I didn’t play the political game. That’s what I told myself when I got passed up for a promotion. Before starting my biz I spent 12 years in marketing and advertising agencies working on multi-million dollar accounts with companies like Amex, Mercedes, and…
Not too long ago prior to a speaking event, I spent hours perfecting my slides. Actually it was more like days. Seriously, I spent painstakingly long agonizing colors and line spacing.

Chances are you know what you need to accomplish too. Those emails, that presentation, this form. But the day flies by and you’re kicking yourself for barely…
I might be more introverted than I thought. Although I totally miss socializing, I’m enjoying my time at home. I think it’s because life is simpler. Not running around like a crazy person, from event to activity to meeting to place, morning until evening. Also, as I get older I’m more selective about how I…
Even the highest performers deal with the big P, the mac daddy of putting things off, the grand excuse of them all…procrastination. It doesn’t matter where you live, how old you are, what your job is, there are simply things we just don’t want to do. Why? Well, let’s begin with defining what procrastination is….
Like many ambitious people, you probably take great pride in being a multitasker. You send an email, talk on your phone, check the market, and take meeting notes all at the same time …or so you think. As a multitasking expert, you believe the more you react to, the more productive you are. As the…
I used to be an addict. No matter how hard I tried, I could not resist the urge nor could I fight the temptation. I went to bed planning for it. I woke up dreaming about it. I even scheduled my days around it. I’m talking about coffee, of course. What were you thinking? 😉…
