Big games break down into small games. Marathons break down into sprints. When you’re playing a big game, you want to set yourself up with small wins along the way. These will build your confidence and momentum. For example, when I developed the game plan for the Punkin Project, I knew that to build a […]
We just booked our first wedding at the Dome Asylum and so many people are congratulating us, which is great, it’s always nice to receive acknowledgement, but I know that some people just don’t see all the work we’ve done to get to this point. They say things like “Wow, it manifested just the way […]
We value knowledge as a society. We encourage our citizens to educate themselves, or at least that was the prevailing wisdom passed down for generations. Go to school, get a job. The more school you went to, the better job you could get, and along with it, a better salary. It’s still the prevailing thought […]
Girl, you gotta keep it moving. You can’t let heartbreak slow you down. Breakups happen. Heartbreak happens. Life happens. Pull yourself together, do what needs to be done, then come home and cry your eyes out, or do whatever you need to do to get yourself right. Go out with your girls, have some cocktails, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This year, I joined a wine club instead of a gym. Yep, that’s what I said and I am standing by my choice. Here’s why… First, I’m (relatively) new in town and I want to meet people. Most people will advise you to join some sort of club, or association, that centers around something you […]
Like Frosty the Snowman, I count New Years’, the start of Spring, and birthdays as opportunities to check in with myself, to take stock, make plans (and adjustments!) My birthday falls close enough to mid-year that it’s a good time for me to check in with business and financial goals. Mid-year is also a good time to check […]
Spring has sprung! After a few false starts, it feels pretty much like summer here in Southern California during the day. The season is only betrayed by still cold nights. I’m learning again how our human rituals, (even administrative ones!) relate to nature’s seasons. This wasn’t always apparent to me when I lived in the city, where productivity […]
