Hard Stuff
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m not a fan of the grind mentality. I don’t think working harder than everyone else is as effective as working smarter. I believe in rest and self-care. I believe in making sure that a minimum of 80% of what you do consists of things you […]
Understanding Consistency
As a person who eats very specifically, I often get salads when I’m meeting someone for lunch or when I’m picking up food to eat at the office. There are two places in town that I like to use – both offer a variety of delicious salads. Both offer consistent results. You might assume that […]

It is January. Most of my clients are working on annual goals (except those on a different fiscal timelines) and most have pretty big things they plan to achieve in the next twelve months. We are making sure that their goals are SMART and such. But that isn’t what will ensure a goal is achieved. […]
