    10 Ways to Know You Are An Idea Addict

    Wondering if you are an Idea Addict. I can help you out. #1 Ideas are your drug of choice. I absolutely love a new idea. The feeling of euphoria. The possibilities! A great idea is a huge motivator, encourager and stimulant for me. Do not judge. #2 You play the dream game. In my family, it was a common occurrence to suddenly think of an alternative life we would enjoy living. “Wouldn’t it be fun to live in Paris and run a coffee shop?” “Oh that would be fun, how would we do that?

    Do for One

    I have a friend who runs an awesome for-profit business. Another friend heads a life transforming nonprofit. A third friend is leading a social entrepreneurial cafe. I wish I could have each of their jobs. I have Vision ADD. It is not possible for me to run a small business, a nonprofit, a cafe and all the other ventures I want to do. I know this.

    Work Happens: Where Do You Go From Here?

    As I write these words, a friend of mine has just lost their job. The emotions and stress are overwhelming. The future seems blurry. Perhaps you have lost your job. Or maybe you own your own business, but, due to circumstances out of your control, you are at a crossroads. The future is unclear. Maybe you are working hard at your current job, but you hate it. Or perhaps, despite generally feeling good about it, you know things are about to blow up. As a business owner or employee, many times you have no influence over the changes that come your way. You work hard. You do a good job.…

    Step 1 For Your Next Career Decision

    Whether you are looking to start a business or look for a new job, there is something you need to do first. No, do not go online looking for jobs in your area or career field. No, do not start the random business a friend has been trying to get you to look at for several years. The first step is to look inward. When you begin by looking in at yourself, you can better make decisions on where to go next. More importantly, you will know where not to go next. Here are seven questions to ask yourself. There are others, but these will get you started well. 1)…

    5 Realizations I’ve Had While Writing My First Book

    Whoa! It has been 2 months since I started writing my book. This is why I have posted nothing on the blog recently. Please forgive me. During this journey I have come to several realizations I’d like to share with you. Maybe these can encourage you whether you are writing a book or doing some other big project for the first time. 1) Writing the book is a very small part of the process. Especially with this being my first run at writing and publishing, there is a lot of technology and other roadblocks. I am pushing through though and will be launching in the near future. 2) Done is…

    10 Idea Addict Hacks

    As Idea Addicts, we have to learn how to best function with this gift. Otherwise, we will find ourselves in a frenzied state. Do not let your ideas paralyze you. Here are some hacks you might find helpful. #1 An Umbrella No, not a physical umbrella. An “umbrella” is a covering that gives you structure but also gives you freedom. It allows you to ideate to create new things but all within a structure that is moving in a particular direction. In my case, as a coach, speaker, writer, I have the ability to try many new ideas, but I keep them under my business umbrella. #2 Margin to Ideate…

    Mixing Spirituality, Lifestyle and Income

    Earlier this year I attended the One World Everybody Eats Conference in Denver Colorado. I went with two others from Crescent City Cafe, along with 50 plus other people interested (or already doing) the pay-what-you-can cafe model. If you have not heard of this, it is exactly what it sounds like. If you can pay for your meal, you do. If you cannot, you do not. Many of these cafes give the option of you giving your time. One of the speakers, Robert Egger, talked about how times are changing. He spoke about the desire now among people to mix spirituality, lifestyle and income. As soon as he said it, I thought, “Yes!”…
