Did you know that you can create your own success?

Try making a little progress. According to neuroscience, progress begets motivation, which begets more progress. This is the core concept of The Progress Loop. If you find that the sheer thought of that big project or major goal causes you angst, try backing up a bit, chunking that plan into bits, and taking on a little at a time. You’ve heard that “baby steps moving forward” is not…

Isn’t time you made like Nike and just do it? What would happen if you replaced your requests with statements? Or better yet, you just acted. And by statement, I don’t mean a command. Just a good old fashioned declarative sentence. By just acting, I’m not suggesting that you steal. Here’s an example: ✅ A request: May I take off from work a little early to attend my…

Do you trust your gut?

Some of the ANTs are there for a real reason. I mentioned “survivor brain” last week. Imagine your ancestor, exposed in the bush. That sound of a twig breaking could signal a number of things.

I was attempting to get centered on my message before boarding a flight, and there it was. It was an email from my boss, who I liked a lot; but, he was carrying news from his boss, and she had concerns—about a meeting that…

Living with intent can get you places!
