What is one thing business owners can do to work smarter, not harder? I’d say the most important thing you can do is declutter your desk and office each night before you go to bed or before you close down the office for the day – whatever time it is. There are studies that show that if you declutter your desk, it raises your brainwaves from beta to alpha. Alpha is power. So, if you have a clean desk and

This week it’s all about…GOAL SETTING! I can see the glint in your eye as you read “GOAL SETTING” because if there’s one thing I know about high achievers, it’s that you set lofty goals – and you work extremely hard to make them happen! In fact, it may be one of the things I love most about working with high achievers! Those goals you set are so inspiring, and seeing your determination is exciting. But let’s get down to

After the success of Momentum Live Virtual, a few of you noticed that I shared in the Momentum Network some of our new members of Momentum Insiders. And then a few of you reached out to me and asked, “What is Momentum Insiders?” Ah, excellent question – so let me just share a little bit about it! Momentum Insiders is a program for those of you who are working to get to the next level. Notice I didn’t say “want to

Why are a vision and mission statement important for a business? As we have seen with organization direction, it helps make sure that everybody’s on the same page and that they understand the entrepreneur, the CEO – and the goals, desires, and wishes. It helps articulate, engage, and unify stakeholders, both internal and external. And it really represents the basis for making decisions. We’ll make sure that the company is in line with its stated purpose. “When you have that

Did you not just love Casey Moore’s interview on Tuesday about productivity? Her 12 factors about productivity are SPOT ON! And I so appreciated her reminder to practice mindfulness when it comes to boosting your productivity. It got me thinking. Last week, the first of the basics in our productivity series was time management. And yes, everyone needs time management skills. It’s what gives you balance and keeps your life from being skewed and a little chaotic. But closely related to

“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy!” Or is it? When you’re a business owner, it can seem that things never get exactly easy. But maybe they can get easier! And who doesn’t want that? When I designed the Productive Profits System, it was my intention to make not only my life easier but your life easier, too – and that’s why I want to share it with you. The Productive Profits System is a way to leverage your expertise, simplify

Why is it important to take a holistic approach to become more efficient and effective? Another word for holistic is comprehensive. And you can read books on different aspects of it. But when you step back and see how productivity really works, you’ll find that there are 12 sets of skills, knowledge, and ability – 12 factors – that influence how productive someone can be. It’s not a personality traits kind of thing – it’s these skills, knowledge, and ability.

“The only way you can stay on top is to remember to touch bottom and get back to basics.” -Shane Black, Film Producer, Director, & Screenwriter. I don’t know about you, but when things seem to get a little out of whack – whether it be with my business or at home (and by “out of whack,” I mean not heading in the direction I’d like) – I tell myself, “It’s time to get back to basics!” Of course, oftentimes,

I can’t imagine my life without some sort of planner in it. For me, a good planner is practically priceless. But when I started looking for a planner I loved and wanted to use…they just didn’t seem to have all of the things I needed in one neat package. I could get one that would help me keep my tasks organized but wouldn’t really help me take action. And I could find one where I could share my vision for

What is the one thing entrepreneurs need to start doing during these challenging times? Of course, no one can tell anyone what they should be doing. I can only share what I’ve seen working for myself and my clients. And if that speaks to some of the people in the audience, then great, because I don’t pretend to know it all. But I think one thing that the pandemic forces us to do is to go inwards. And so, what
