Some days are rough. Nothing you actually follow through on works out the way you planned. It just seems like you're in way over your head with the opportunity you're trying to embrace. You jumped into creative entrepreneurship because of passion and drive and talent, but some days, it's hard to remember you have any of that.

Read MoreEvery day this week, I’ve made my way to the gym bracing for the worst. I was ready to walk into a horde of new sign-ups, for no equipment to be free and for the air to be stuffy. To my surprise, every day, the gym has been almost empty. This is something friends of mine have echoed. So what's the deal? Don't people know it's New Year's Resolution season? Is our inability to follow through with our resolutions is catching up to us? Are people figuring out how the story goes year after year and becoming jaded? Even though new year’s resolutions might be ineffective, goal setting doesn’t have to be
Read MoreIs it going to last? This magical fling that Dubsado has with success? We are so fortunate to have a community of users focused on sharing the good news of Dubsado, but some prospective users wonder whether our system will be short lived. Truthfully, I understand the concern as I myself wouldn’t want to invest the time it takes to get setup in a CRM with a company that wasn’t going to make it. As 2018 begins, we think there has never been a better time to believe in Dubsado. Here's why:
Read MoreI wanted to take some time today and dive into one of the most widespread lies we trick ourselves into subconsciously accepting. It’s something that I’ve heard repeated in different conversations, almost word for word each time and something I did for over 20 years.
Read MoreWe often don’t realize that a few adjustments could make a world of difference with anxiety. This is in no way meant to suggest that a few simple tricks will solve all your problems, but it might bring needed perspective.
Read MoreLet’s set the record straight – incremental improvement works, and it works well. But, there’s a reason so many of us fall off the wagon when we’re trying to make small changes day after day. Raise your hand if you’ve given up a diet, an exercise routine or even a business idea after trying to take small steps towards it daily.
Read MoreMost of us think that inspiration is the key. If you’re inspired, you can get through great hurdles and succeed wildly. And certainly, this is true to a certain extent. But it doesn’t tell the full story.
Inspiration, you see, is temporary. Inspiration will get you off your couch. Inspiration will help you explode off the starting line. But it won’t get you all the way. Once the monotony of daily life sets in, inspiration wanes. And this is when diets are abandoned. This is when businesses lose their way. This is when people stop working on their personal projects.

Read MoreThink about where you’d like to take your family for a vacation. The Bahamas? Europe? Asia? Take your pick.
How’re you going to get to the Bahamas? Probably by air, right? Ok. So, let’s say you’ve chosen Airline A, because they had the best prices and you booked a couple of months in advance.
Now, where are you going to stay when you’re vacationing? You’ve probably looked at a few hotels, compared their rates. What about destinations? Surely you’ve made a list of things to do and places to see while you’re in the Bahamas.
Read MoreWe've all had the long day where you got to the end and had only a headache to show for it... That’s your brain (and your body) telling you that it’s being overworked. Your brain is no longer being productive, and you need to switch off. In today’s day and age, we’re inundated with information. It flies at us constantly, all day, every day. Meetings, deadlines, emails, texting, applications, social media profiles. It’s easy to see why so many of us need a cup of coffee several times a day
Read Moreow would your life be different today if you were doing something you truly love?
How would you rate your happiness today, if you had realized your true calling and were excited about it? I think it’s a fair guess to say that your life would be pretty awesome. Sure, you’d still have a lot of challenges and hard work at hand, but it would be, dare I say…
Read MoreYou heard of (and used) the expression “take it one day at a time”.
But today, I’d like you to consider what “taking it one day at a time” really means, with respect to the larger picture of your life and what you want to achieve.
Regardless of where you are in your current development, you will always have to take it “one day at a time”.
So, if your goal is to advance ten levels in your current career, you will still have to take it “one day at a time”.
Read MoreWe planned a family trip! We packed the bags and lots of toys for our little guy and headed off before traffic hit. Camera charged and ready to document every single fun thing that we were going to do. I was a little weary how Charlie, who was 18 months at the time, was going to behave since his teeth have been driving him nuts lately...with nap protests and so forth. But I thought a little change in atmosphere might to us all good. Then, we arrived at our destination. We unpacked, got all cozy and started to put Charlie down for his nap and failed. Screaming, crying, yelling... he would not sleep.
