Didn’t you love Tuesday’s interview with Jan Cavelle? She’s such an advocate for entrepreneurs, and as an entrepreneur herself, she knows exactly what so many of us face as we strive to grow and scale our business. In fact, Jan has poured her heart and soul into helping entrepreneurs scale their business – and with that in mind, she has written a book called “Scale for Success: Expert Insights Into Growing Your Business.” And YES, it’s on my bookshelf! Amazon says: All

Why is entrepreneurship so important in the world right now? It’s a great question. I’ve campaigned for entrepreneurship all my long working life. I’m a great supporter of it at any time, but I think right now, it’s more important than it’s ever been – because I think even the safest job is at risk. We’ve had a lot of jobs at risk through changing times and tech and automation. And now we’ve had the pandemic as well, which is

The measure of productivity is the total output divided by the total input. For example, if your organization produces $100,000 in goods or services with five employees, then the productivity is $20,000 per employee. As usual, you can massage this number depending on the perspective you take to create the equation. And yes, I’ve spent the last few Saturdays bringing back some productivity basics that we all need reminders about in order to make sure our business is moving forward

Mindset is such a crucial part of success – and talked about often. But there’s one person who really took the time to research this area and then put all that she learned into a book that is totally captivating on this subject – and that’s Carol Dweck. And her book is Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. I know that some of you have read this book (and probably re-read it multiple times), but if you haven’t, this is one

What is virtual event management? Virtual meetings are things that we had before, but now they’re more frequent. We need to make sure that they’re productive. A lot of my clients are meeting with their customers, and they need to make sure that they’re utilizing their customers’ time wisely. Sometimes it’s sales; sometimes it’s status updates and things like that for large projects that they’re working on. There are some things outside of that I’ve done, such as expos and

Last week we returned to the basics of productivity with energy management – and I loved hearing from so many of you about how you manage your energy! It’s good to hear that you know the value. Today let’s piggyback on energy management and talk about REST! Rest is defined as: cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength. What you’ll notice in this definition is that there is no mention of time. Rest can take

In today’s edition of “What’s On My Bookshelf,” I’m sharing something that’s found on my digital bookshelf – via my Audible account! I’m a fan of audiobooks and podcasts because you can take them with you – on a walk, on a run, or as you take a few moments to enjoy the sunshine. How about you? Are you a fan of audiobooks and podcasts? And yes, Audible has a great selection of books and podcasts – but they also

What role does mindset play in aligning and thriving in business and personal wellbeing? When looking at mindset, the first thing we need is a healthy mind. A healthy mind requires nourishing, taking care of, food, and hydration. That’s the foundation. And where we will increase our bandwidth of what we can accomplish. “Many people aren’t thinking, “healthy mind,” when they are thinking, “mindset.” They’re not thinking, “How can I make my brain, my mind my body healthier?” Instead, they

Let’s talk about Energy Management. And no, I’m not talking about turning off the lights in your office at the end of the day or powering down your computer. I’m talking about managing your own personal energy. The energy that keeps you going throughout the day. The energy that keeps you making good decisions. The energy that maximizes your efficiency. The energy that gets you to Friday without feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. If you read that and thought, “Whoa! I

There are lots of things I appreciate in life…and one of them is most definitely you and your support of my new book, “What Businesses Need to Know Right Now: Lessons Learned From Interviewing Businesses During a Pandemic.” In fact, I still pinch myself when I see it sitting on my bookshelf.
