When — OH WHEN — will things finally come through for me? WHEN will I be the one with the big breakthroughs? When will I finally get THERE? I’ve been plotting and planning for SOOOO long. If you ever feel this way, you’re not alone. (And that’s the ONLY “salve” this post offers you. The

IT’S LIKE FIGHT CLUB… BUT IN REVERSE
(Also, why referrals constantly come into WOW despite me “forgetting” to ask for them.) You know how in Fight Club, members would point to a bruise and say, “Look, dude… I’m a member!” Hold that scenario in your mind for a minute. Because I want to talk about Women Who WOW… and how I

RE-CREATING a CRAPPY DAY.
Spinning poop into gold feels like today’s challenge for me personally. An awful morning (teenager stuff)… which led to an argument with Chris…. followed by two hours trying to register Shelbey for her college classes (which never went through)… followed by internet outages (which may or may not have caused the problems with registering for

THE “WISEST” CHOICES I EVER MADE IN BUSINESS … WERE — BY FAR — THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE
I remember teaching parenting classes… before I was a parent. (Side note: SHAME on my audience, they never asked me! And frankly, I was SO ignorant that I may NOT have even gotten the “irony” of the situation. After all, I had a DEGREE in this stuff! #shakingmyOWNhead ) I remember some other things too.

THE REASON BEHIND THE REASON SO MANY WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS PLAY SMALL, SLOW AND UNDER THE RADAR.
There’s a story of a wild woman. Many call her “La Loba.” In the stories, she’s a woman who collects the bones of anything in danger of being forgotten… and when she has an entire skeleton collected, she SINGS over the bones, bringing them back to life. In my work, I often feel like the

HOW LONG **YOUR** SUCCESS STORY TAKES TO BECOME A REALITY DEPENDS ON 3 THINGS.
The entrepreneurial journey is not for the squeamish, the easily offended or the faint of heart. Our daily life requires courage… and creativity… and confidence… and GRIT. The ENDURANCE and TENACITY to keep going when mere mortals would have long ago quit. Our work requires us to show up when it’s uncomfortable, when we feel

BUSINESS ROT: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS & CURE #BUSINESSMD
My dad has developed a reputation for his expertise in dealing with “rotten wood.” As a general contractor on the (wet) Outer Banks, this reputation serves him well. He’s got to know when and where to look for rotten wood before it is obvious, how to diagnose it, tear it out, replace it and prevent

I Am A (Goal) Sniper — With A Hell Of a Scope
It’s true. I’ve been running and listening to a bit of old school Ice Cube and NWA. #nojudgement. For reasons I won’t go into, I was running off, sweating out a bit of frustration. Wait… I’m prettying this up, and I’m not even sure why. I was running off some unadulterated anger. Releasing it… Sweating

LEAP, Even If It Means Falling — HARD — And Having To (Literally) Claw Your Way Back Up
I just got back from a run… My normal run… only… the ditches I NORMALLY jump over, had been made (at least) twice as wide to accommodate some new construction. Music pumping in my ears, I see the distance. And while I KNOW I’m 41, I still FEEL 21 a DEFIANT 21. And so I
