"Don't reinvent the wheel...buy custom rims to bling it out, but don't reinvent the wheel!" While at a conference, I had the opportunity to meet Vernice Armour. Talk about a woman with a mission! I found myself writing a number of quotes down as she was speaking knowing that I'd share them with you and that was the first one. I loved the visual she shared with this concept. Reinventing the … [Read more...]

Is it Possible to be an Outgoing/Extroverted Introvert?
Earlier this week, one of my readers commented on a post I wrote about ADHD. Her comment was such a good question that it sparked this post. She said: I'm intrigued by the phrase "An Outgoing Introvert" as others are often surprised that I consider myself an introvert. Do you think we've learned to be outgoing out of necessity, so we can network, or is there something else going on? Any … [Read more...]
Cinch.fm Audio Service Shuts Down – Lessons We Can Learn on Customer Service & Not Counting on One Platform
Friday night I learned that one of my favorite pod-casting sites, Cinch.fm, was shutting down. The news hit me like a lead brick. Sure, shutting down is something that can happen when you use a 3rd-party tool.

Sometimes Taking Action is Not the Right Choice
Sometimes taking action is not the right choice. I have been thinking about that statement for a while now. Then, tonight it came up again as I was interviewing Des Gray on Mindset. It seems funny for me to say it because I'm continually telling people they need to get into action and out of perfectionism and procrastination. Just do something! However, I'm reminded that not all action is good … [Read more...]

Musings from 40,000 Feet – Secrets to a Smooth Flowing Business from a Flight Attendant
Yesterday was a day of travel for me. Up at the crack of dawn, a few car rides and two plane rides and I was at my destination. My first flight was on a very small plane. My dad would call it a "puddle jumper." As I was waiting for the plane to take off, I had the opportunity to observe our solo flight attendant getting ready for the flight as well as her operation procedures during the flight. … [Read more...]
