The term “Use it or Lose it” sounds trite today. But there is real power in those few words - if you look below the surface. The phrase was first used in “Pushing to the Front”, published in 1894.

I was talking with a client recently who was wondering out loud if she was really worth her salt. “What if I can’t help this client? What if they realize I don’t have an advanced degree? Do I really have something of value to offer? Why would anyone buy a book that I write? I’ve [...]
I was listening to Michael Port’s book “Beyond Booked Solid” today en route to a meeting. He made one statement that truly sums up my philosophy. As he was talking about how to boost your income, streamline your processes, and take your business to the next level he said “The real bottom line is your [...]

In a world full of stress, deadlines, needs, and scarcity, it is sometimes hard to determine that you have any power. Helping yourself can feel like an overwhelming and unattainable mission.

So many people stay stuck where they are because they don’t value themselves fully. Recently I started working with a person - we’ll call her Susie - who has so many obvious talents and abilities.

When you become a manager, is it your IQ, your technical skills and your knowledge of the industry you’re in which is paramount – or your ability to influence, inspire and engage others? Or do they both matter equally?
Generally speaking, we promote people to manager or supervisor because they’re good at what they do. Generally [...]

Have you heard of K.I.S.S? It is much used in business and particularly in training, and it stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. Now I agree with keeping it simple in principle, but calling me stupid is not going to help tackle procrastination.
I prefer a much kinder, and more effective way [...]

Success can be defined as many different things. To some success is having a lot of money and financial security.

I heard it again today.

My mentor says, “Suzanne, You must get comfortable with being uncomfortable”. Ugh. That is so hard. I know why… I get it. My other mentor says “business is messy”. So if you know that business is ever changing, can be messy, and really is an ebb and flow. You must be OK with being uncomfortable. [...]
“In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true.” John Lilly. The mind is an incredibly powerful thing. If you believe (and I mean truly believe) you can do something then your subconscious will work to make it fact.
You believe in your career and in yourself [...]
Lately you have been thinking of a new direction in your life - because you don’t want to work for a boss anymore, because you want to get out of the roil of that endless routine, because you want to have more time for yourself and your family, because you are seeking new horizons, or [...]
