Why You Need to Periscope with Me

Why You Need to Periscope with Me

I’ve been fighting the urge, but I’ve decided to climb on the Periscope train. Why?
One word: vulnerability
Before I dive more into the why, let’s talk about the what

What is Periscope?

It’s the easiest way to broadcast video — live, from your phone.

Two Words You Should Never Say to Someone Else

Two Words You Should Never Say to Someone Else

We’ve all been through painful struggles in our lives. Maybe yesterday. Maybe five years ago. Maybe you’re going through one today.
Whatever the case may be, I’m sorry you’re struggling through that. I’m really, really sorry.

But here’s what I never hope to say to you: “I understand.”

The truth is, I don’t understand what you’re going through and you don’t understand what I’m going through.

Goal Setting for Beginners

Goal Setting for Beginners

Do you believe in the power of written goals? I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t. But… let me ask this question – have you written goals for this year or next down?
For years I believed in the power of goals. Occasionally I would write them down. I made New Year’s Resolutions for years, too, and can’t remember one coming to fruition. My problem with my goals? I wasn’t specific with what I wanted to do.
I wanted to lose weight, sure, but I had no plan in place. I wanted to write a book, there wasn’t a plan ready. I wanted to pay off some bills, but again, I had no plan. At this point, they were just dreams, not goals.
