It's associated with a sort of temporary promise that you make at the start of the year and … Continue reading A new years resolution by any other name

In order to do this you have to shift your mindset to one where your intention is simply to bring a … Continue reading It doesn’t have to last forever
By any other name
New years resolution have garnered a bad reputation for being unreliable and not living up to their expectations. And so instead we call them goals or intentions (or whatever else we can come up with). But as Shakespeare said 'a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet'. We call it something else … Continue reading By any other name
Sending emails to your mailing list
When sending emails do it from a place of generosity. How will this benefit the receiver? As much as you may want to generate sales, bombarding a customer with emails is a poor tactic.

And sometimes that act of choosing words … Continue reading Choosing words wisely
Busy is a choice
One thing I've notice is how busy we all seem to be. We're constantly going from one thing to the next and wishing for more hours in the day. But how often do you consider that it's a choice? Do you ever consider that you can stop, slow down and do less? We fill our … Continue reading Busy is a choice
Useless criticism
If you have something bad to say about something but have nothing to say when it comes to how it could be better. I think that it's a useless criticism. It's easy to be a critic or to complain about the way that something is but what's the point if you can't even offer a … Continue reading Useless criticism
