I spent five years on the board of my local trade association.  Sadly, by the time I was slotted to become chapter president, our membership was waning, our budget was dwindling and our enthusiasm was fading. It broke my heart. I thought to myself, I need to fix everything or the world is going to fall apart.  And so, I tried to save the day. To make everything right…

When I first started my company, one of the questions my mentor trained me to ask was: How can I do the work once and benefit many times?  This mindset, he told me, was the key to duplication, multiplication and ultimately, replacing myself. Without it, I would risk driving myself past rational work levels without factoring in the fatigue factor.  Ever since I first heard that question, became obsessed…

One of the best mantras I learned from my therapist was, there are no emergencies.  Because outside of major health, safety or family related incidents, true crises are few and far between. We just love to convince ourselves of the seriousness of things. Creating drama in our lives makes us feel big and important.  I’m reminded of a woman I practice yoga with who’s perpetually late to class. In…

All creativity begins with the moment of conception. That little piece of kindling that gets the fire going. That initial source of inspiration that takes on a life of its own. That single note from which the entire symphony grows. That single spark of life that signals an idea’s movement value, almost screaming to us, something wants to be built here. Based on my books in The Prolific Series, I’m going…

Around the time of the invention of the automobile, there was famous article in Popular Mechanics that announced a new invention based on an old proverb.  According to the article, seen in the streets was a prototype of a horse pushing carriage from behind. Drais, the vehicle’s inventor, claimed that his invention had several great advantages.  First, the horse couldn’t run away. Second, the carriage was not exposed to the dust and grit…

Ideas are free, execution is priceless. That’s been my mantra since day one of starting my business. It’s also the title of a book I wrote a few years back. You can download it for free here. But here’s the problem. I’m an idea junkie. Everything I look at in the world breaks down into a collection of ideas. I have about fifty new ones every day, and sadly, I…

Rousseau’s school of thought suggests two paths to the development of the self.  Amour propre, which is a sense of self defined by the opinions of others, and amour de soi, which is a sense of self defined by personal identity and genuine esteem.  But as his philosophy pointed out, only the latter was compatible with wholeness and happiness. The former, he wrote, was an unnatural form of love…

Every yoga pose contains four essential stages.  Setup, transition, asana and exit.  But in our laziest and most impatient moments, we only practice the first three. Because exiting the posture requires mindfulness, alignment, focus, patience and understanding. And after sixty seconds of twisting our body into a sweaty yoga pretzel, we’re so tired and cramped and hot, that the last thing we want to do is come out gracefully. …
