Ok, so here we are starting a new year….after what was arguably one of the most challenging years of our generation. Sure…some had record breaking revenues and income in 2020….and others had a pretty tough year, in more ways than just financial. In 2021, we have the opportunity to ‘turn the page’, and write an […]
Most of us are VERY happy to turn the page from 2020 to 2021. 2020 was a year for the record books…..in many ways and on many levels. As we enter 2021, many of us want to ‘up’ our individual (and collective) plans for continued growth and ongoing improvement. This ritual of writing New Year’s […]

This past week I took Lulu (my precious rescue schnauzer) to our family lake house in Arkansas. This particular year, I decided to reach out to a few old friends to reconnect. What I learned from these women, and from this beautiful exchange, was worth writing about and sharing with you…as it does apply to life and to business.
Recently, I was turned onto a book entitled The Compound Effect, written by Darren Hardy, the founding editor and visionary force behind Success magazine. I love this book! It is not just the nuggets of basic insights which are indeed relevant and salient; it is how he references the many interviews he has conducted over the years in writing Success magazine, which give applicable examples to our own lives.
