Participation Awards
Participation Awards….. Hmmmm…..the magical question on whether or not our kids are deserving of a trophy or ribbon…..just for participating! Well, I won’t dance around this one! I’ve coached my daughter in softball for 5 years…..junior high volleyball for a season…..and assistant for junior high basketball. And my son, well I’ve coached him in baseball for 4 years, and now in travel ball…..basketball for a season….and soccer for a season. Back in the day, many of us growing up didn’t receive awards for “participating” Personally, as each season begins, I share with the parents that I will not participate in getting the kids trophies or plaques for playing the game.…

New Entrepreneur: Little Things Are Everything
New Entrepreneur…little things are everything! So this morning I woke up at 7:30 a.m. And you might be thinking..so what? At 9:10 pm I went for a walk at Kiwanis Park in Tempe, AZ for about 30 minutes to enjoy the overcast weather and stretch the legs a bit and think on how grateful I am. And you might be thinking…so what? Then a wonderful friend and fellow entrepreneur warrior all the way from The Netherlands messaged me for some help with something. I said hey do you want to jump on a Skype call for a bit..I’m available. And you might be thinking…so what? Then I ran to the…

Happy New Years
A Brand New Year Is Upon Us….. Happy New Years!! You can wrap up the year 2015 in a bow…..the good, and the bad! But the main question is will you be able to take all that had been part of your life in this past year……and taken the lessons of it all, to create a memorable 2016. January is the honeymoon…. It is the fresh start, or the new beginning…. It is the do-over that many of us at times wish for. But in all reality, will this year be any different in the aspects of which you have control? I’ve been there many times, and yes, it’s a…

Will Your Visions of 2016 Bring You Home?
Will your visions of 2016 bring you home? That is the topic I chose to share on this Monday afternoon for you all. As some of you know, I am back in my hometown of Fortuna, ND. I’ve been spending time with my parents, my grandma and just overall relaxing and recharging the batteries. (Slept in until 10:21 am the first morning! lol) The pic below is the house I grew up in. So as I’ve been reflecting and looking back on being home this week, it brought up some interesting perspectives on the “home” within us all. The one that maybe our life path has taken us far, far…

VaNessa Duplessie: Holding the Space for Success
VaNessa Duplessie is a special type of leader folks. She has the unique ability to “hold space” for those around her in order to help inspire and lift others in their success. It is a sort of personal power that is truly a gift to those who work with her in life and business. I felt the photo below with her, Mark Hoverson and Jonathan Budd (one of VaNessa’s all time favorites pics) perfectly captures how others express their genuine gratitude for her leadership. This episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast was such a distinct honor and treat for me as I’ve know VaNessa since 2011. She has always been…

Steve Harvey, New Year and Being Sick and Tired
Steve Harvey was sick and tired of himself. He was exhausted. He was worn down. He was worn out by poverty. He was just plain sick and tired of it all. And like the picture below states, “it’s a kind of TIRED that sleep can’t fix.” As the New Year approaches, many times these same feelings can overwhelm us. We feel like we didn’t accomplish what we set out to do in 2015. We let ourselves down, we let others down. We feel exhausted by all our efforts. We wonder…How can I WIN in 2016? Well listen in to this episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast as I share a…

Unofficial Mentors: We All Are Teachers
Unofficial mentors. Not only are they available to all of us, but each of us can fulfill that role to someone else. And many times, we will never even be aware the important role we are playing in someone’s life. Listen in on this solo shot episode on a Monday as I speak on the importance of the unofficial mentors in our lives. I also speak on how whether we like it or not…each of us play that role of mentor to a stranger, a family member or friend. It is a responsibility that we should never take lightly. Learn how your path can impact others every single day. Will…

Resistance: Fueled By Fear
Resistance: Fueled By Fear! In a world of chaos and more and more of individuals playing the ‘victim of circumstances’, the accountability of an individual seems to fade more and more often. I don’t have the time…. I wasn’t blessed with the gifts he/she has…. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth… How about the fact that some of those who got “lucky”…..took them ten years to get to a place of success, and I’m not just talking about financial success. Resistance towards a goal or dream or vision is fueled by FEAR…. Now it is time to overcome this FEAR, to reduce, minimize, or simply SMASH…
