the everyday belief that keeps you procrastinating

You plan a 45-minute walk but snooze for 15 minutes, so you skip it. You need hours for a project so you wait for a free day. Who knows when that will happen? You have hours of reconciliations so you’ll do it when you have downtime. Now you’re months behind. Do any of those scenarios…

5 Annoying Reasons You’re Scattered

“What. Happened?!” I was SO frustrated yesterday. I’m running around like a crazy person, responding, reacting — getting everything done.

I’ve had several conversations lately about not having enough cash flow. If I had to help you focus on one system in your business, your money…

planning to do vs. planning to plan

If you’ve made 742+ to-do lists with everything you want to get done but are no closer to your goals… If you’ve listed out all your plans for your house, goals for your biz, targets for your weight, and itemized all the things you really “should be doing”… But you still let the day get…
