Looking to do my part to help shift the universe a few degrees to the positive.

I love learning about people who are doing work that matters, living lives they can feel good about, and leaving the world a little better than they found it.

I think as business owners this is important to remember.

The work you put into yourself energizes your business.

Doing that work in a balanced and efficient way lets you have both a life and work you can feel good about.

Work less. Grow more. Write for 1h—not all day. Engage for 15m—not until burnout. Plan for 5m—not forever. Then log off. Touch grass. Live your life. Substack grows when you do.

A post for my small business and entrepreneurial friends.

This one is about how and why your clients get excited about your success, and one thing that is sure to lead to disgruntlement and anger.

Enjoy!

“Let your mind be not like the clouds blocking the sun. Let it be like the sky, holding all of the clouds as they move to and through. You are expansive. You are so much more than the weather systems that will come and go.”

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.

A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.

Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience.

Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero.

Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.

Two people are arguing about a flag.

One says, “The flag is moving.”

The other, “The wind is moving.”

A third walks by and says, “Not the wind, not the flag; the mind is moving.”

First post, thought I’d share some helpful wisdom that has been shared with me through the years:

-The journey is the home.

-Your truth is near when your head and your heart are singing the same song.

-Half of power comes from knowing how and when to relax.

Happy to be here :)
