Garbage in - Garbage out!

AI doesn’t solve people problems. You cannot take the human element out of your business.

The more you try the more you will repel the humans you need to survive.

Level up your EQ and watch how that affects everything you do.

If it’s up to me, I won’t always do the next set of exercises, or add another mile to my run.

I will push myself, but not always to my potential.

I will go to the end of my comfort zone, but the times I’ve exceeded what I imagined was possible for myself were when someone else was guiding me.

Sometimes you need someone else’s belief that you can do the thing outside your reach.

Sometimes you need someone to see what you can’t see because of self limitations.

Sometimes you just need someone who won’t take your sh*tty excuses and will push you.

Whatever the reason. The greatest athletes, actors, and executives all have advisors who do just that.

Isn’t it time you believed in yourself enough to step up?

No longer needed for survival, use the skills you’ve developed for success.

You can read people
Identify threats
Anticipate environmental shifts
Manage uncertainty

All great EQ skills needed for successful entrepreneurship.

Take your skills and put them to work for your benefit building something great.

This is just a reminder that every ceiling is the floor to the space above.

You get to choose, it is that simple.

Yes, the work is hard but it’s starts with a choice.

Choose wisely.

If you need a little guidance or have questions, I’m here to help drop me a note. Let’s talk.

During my recent trip to a very sacred place I brought this little reminder of love.

This organization was begun by one woman (Lori Tosches) who saw so much pain and wanted to provide hope.

In my short essay following the Boston Marathon bombing I noted not all who were affected that day bled. So many suffered, some more profoundly than others, some more obviously than others but the wounds are shared.

The beauty (if I may) about a shared wound is the shared healing.

So on this We remember the pain and more importantly remember the love.

In a time when this country needs more love, let it begin in Boston as it has many times before.

Ciao Peru!

People often giggle when they hear me say Ciao at the end of a conversation or meeting.

It is very intentional. Goodbye is such a permanent state and I use the term occasionally and intentionally.

Such a beautiful country so rich in culture, history and community.

So to Peru, Ciao!

The pandemic taught us so much!

One of the loudest messages I received (and felt) was that being in community is so important to mental health, growth and joy.

Having people you can talk with, cry with, complain to and celebrate with is so helpful.

In entrepreneurship it is the same.

The one thing all businesses have in common is that they are run by humans (at least today!)

So I encourage all entrepreneurs to find your community.

You do not need to do this alone. In fact it’s so much easier, faster and better with a community to support you in the challenges and celebrate with you in the successes!

Wherever you are in your entrepreneurial journey, I encourage you to find your community and rise together!

I met this amazing woman from the UK when I spoke about my book, The Entrepreneur Advantage at .

Poppy reached out to me following that event upon her return to the UK.

I now hold on my hands a book she illustrated (.art) and it has a coveted spot in my children’s book collection.

Amazing the connections we make when we step out and share our voice.

Looking forward to seeing what this budding graphic artist continues to do with all of her talent!
