Five areas where your business needs consistency

Just the other day I received a private message in Facebook from a friend, “Hey, come back!” You see, I hadn’t shown up in social media (except in my client groups) for about a week. I then posted this in the  Awarepreneurs Community: “Does anyone else, like me, go in and out of being on social […]

Intimacy in Business

This week Yollana Shore, our Heart of Business practitioner Down Under (near Brisbane, Australia), dives into what’s been coming up for her clients around intimacy and business. You want to be authentically yourself, and yet perhaps there can be too much intimacy? It’s a short video, and you get to see the beautiful place Yollana lives, […]

The 3 Types of Business Work

I realized awhile ago that communication channels are becoming overwhelming. One person emails me, another texts. Then there are Facebook private messages, plus Twitter. More: hundreds of requested connections on LinkedIn that I haven’t answered because I don’t use LinkedIn (yet) even though I have an account. (By the way- the “yet” up above is […]

How to Unfreeze Your Business Writing

I’m so grateful for last week. The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, plus parent-teacher conferences, provided our family with a LOT of unscheduled time. Which. Was. Fantastic. I find that my life has high and low tides of scheduling. Sometimes my life feels very tightly scheduled with client sessions, teaching and team meetings, not to mention family […]

Saying Goodbye to An Old Friend

I’m writing this from a really cute AirBnB studio in Victoria, British Columbia, where I’m presenting at the Bellyfit Summit in a few hours.

I’m grateful that for years now Heart of Business has supported me and my family to take vacations, especially since we live so far from our boys’ grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. However, there was a first with this vacation: that I came back and everything was already taken care of. I was not buried […]

A Mystery Guest in a 3-Legged Chair

Last week I said I’d introduce you to our mystery guest, and I’m good for my word. After going through a very rigorous and hard-to-choose process, we finally hired our Director of Marketing. Marketing is a really hard position to hire for because it touches at the core of who we are at Heart of […]

Facing a Turbulent Life Without Sinking Your Business

Today’s Business Heart is by Heart of Business practitioner Yollana Shore. If you’re dealing with a personal situation that’s asking for your full attention – whether it be a life transition, relationship change, health challenge, or spiritual crisis – it can be hard to bring your attention to what needs to be done in your […]

When You Start To Hate What You Loved

Before I get into today’s topic, something is happening in a few hours. Quick Announcement: Today! Free call on Expand Your Reach. Sometimes what you need to stay in love with what you do is just have enough people to work with. And for that, you might need to expand your reach. The Foundations2: Expand […]

We’re Hiring! With A Lesson…

Two announcements and something to learn. The first announcement is a reminder that the Foundations2: Expand Your Reach mini series is in full swing. The simple concept here is that if you reached enough people, then your business would be much more consistently full. We’ve had about 700 people jump into the series already. If […]
