Facing the Ick Factor of Asking Others to Promote You
Awhile back I had a client who was relaunching for the first time after taking a couple of years to recover from a high-octane coaching program he had participated in. One of the biggest parts of a well-done launch is asking others to help promote it. Unfortunately, for many of us the ickyest (is that […]

5 Places to Stop Trying to Do It All At Once
If I haven’t already mentioned it, let me tell you that I am a 5-planet Virgo, a 1 on the Enneagram. And if that means nothing to you, it adds up to a controlling, detail-obsessed, type-A, overworking perfectionist. It’s taken years of spiritual practice, healing and sheer cussedness, but all of that has calmed down […]

So, what do you really want in 2013?
As the end of 2012 draws close, I’ve been asking myself deeply… What do I really want? This inquiry was given to me by Gangaji, at a spiritual retreat many years ago. And whenever I have turned my attention to it, it has always, always served me. For most entrepreneurs, when we think about what […]
Today Is (Sorta) The Deadline
Years ago I worked in newspapers. It’s true that the high school newspaper isn’t the most elevated journalistic experience, but I did also work for my college newspaper which published daily for a population of 30,000. Then, years later, in San Francisco I was managing editor for a nonprofit magazine. All of these publications had […]
Fragile, Vulnerable, Help
I’ve spoken to a lot of people this week, and many people are feeling tender, fragile, nervous. Maybe it’s inherent to the time of year, that the hopes for the year are facing to the reality of what happened. I don’t know. What I do know is that when people feel fragile and tender, there […]
