So Much Nonsense

Have you built your dreams on a solid foundation? If we were to break down your problems, would they actually make sense? How clear are you on what you’re communicating and what action you want others to take? Don’t let your dreams stay dreams. Clean up the nonsense.

The Art of Deserving

Do you feel stuck and unable to achieve what you really want? Are you often feeling that “life would be better if…?” Maybe it’s possible that you don’t feel that you deserve the things that you say you want. That feeling of unworthiness, more than anything else, is keeping you trapped. That unworthiness is creating […]

Capturing Attention

There are stages of awareness you need to be aware of when you’re building an audience by producing content. First, they become aware of you. Then, if you’re lucky, they realize they have a need you can help them with and they become in-consideration of you. An even smaller number of those in-consideration of you […]

How Your Labels Hold You Back

Twenty Years of Work

I’ve had a lot of experience with being unhappy with the status quo. If you’re any kind of visionary, you’ll know what I mean. Where others can get complacent, we’re always trying to improve. Where others will say it’s “good enough,” we’re trying to perfect it. It’s that kind of attitude that gives us our […]
