This weekend, I had a double booking at the Dome Asylum. I hate it when that happens, but not all the channels we use for booking sync with each other and it’s happened before. Even though the reservation came in late and I was already in bed with my man, I got up and called […]

Being Responsible with your Communicatio...
Being responsible for your communication involves being conscious about what and why you are communicating, and how it is received. You want to speak your truth without harming others. Over There (with Them) Often, people feel like they’ve expertly communicated their feelings, but more often they’ve just dumped their feelings onto another individual. What was […]
Benefits of Marching to the Beat of Your...
I just got an email welcoming me to 2019. In February. At first glance, it seemed they were just very late in their marketing campaign, but then they mentioned Lunar New Year. Touché. I only skimmed the rest of the letter, but I did open it, even thinking that the company had experienced a tech […]
There’s Still 100% Left
It’s February now and a full month of our new year has gone by. How did you use your January? Did you wrap up last year’s books? Ideally, it got started in December, but with holidays and schedules, maybe it didn’t get complete. Finish your year end Profit & Loss statements for each brand or […]

Do the Due, Diligence that is.
Don’t be intimidated because it’s a legal term, basically due diligence is paying attention to all the details, dotting your i’s and crossing the t’s, doing your work with integrity. When I was starting my first business, a martial arts school in NYC, my business partner and I found this great deal on a space […]
New Year, New You? Start by giving yours...
Happy New Year! New year, new you and all that, but don’t feel pressured by the fancy new planner or calendar you bought with its pristine pages inviting you to create the year ahead. Winter is here and it’s time for reflection and planning. Unless your business is in health and fitness, January is not […]
Be careful what you wish for.
Sometimes, I feel stuck or off course. Don’t you? But when I look back at my notes, usually from the start of the year, when I set my calendar and plan my goals, it turns out, I’m exactly where I said I would be. I guess it’s in my Achiever nature (Clifton Strengths) to be […]
