Recently, the topic of female ambition has come into the spotlight, namely due to the #EmbraceAmbition campaign, spearheaded by world-famous fashion and lifestyle designer, Tory Burch. Burch tells a story of the early days in her career where the word “ambition” used to annoy her. In her words, it was often given as a […]
I talk a lot about purpose on my blog because I truly believe it is the most important thing an individual can discover for themselves. When it comes to purpose, I believe we all have something unique and individual to contribute to the world. How you impact the lives of others and leave a legacy […]
Carpe diem. Seize the day. It is a simple truth with extraordinary power. Each and every day we have the opportunity to make a difference, make a change, leave a legacy, impact the world, and live our purpose. When is the last time you lived a day to its full potential? When was the last […]
Our purpose, legacy, WHY and passion are more and more important to people than ever before. It’s no longer enough to just show up in the office, do your job and go home, just to do it all again the next day. We crave meaning. We want our work to impact lives, change the world […]
Are you a people pleaser? At one point or another, we’ve all been there. A friend asks for a favor and even though you really don’t have the time, you say yes. A colleague asks you to pick up some slack at work and even though you’re already spread really thin, you take on the […]
This spring, I’m challenging you to a mental spring cleaning. Why should tidying up be limited to just our homes? Think of how great it feels to come home to a clean, sparkling home: the floors are clean; beds are made; dishes put away; everything is exactly where it belongs. Now, let’s get to that […]
Words mean a lot. They hold an incredible amount of weight and value in the way we speak, express ourselves, connect with others and share our story. Not all words are created equal. I don’t mean to pick favorites, but there are certain words I completely eliminate from my vocabulary because they don’t serve a […]
When you’re writing your book, you’re bound to hit the inevitable writer’s block. It happens to all of us! Instead of succumbing to the block, find a way to start creating and continue writing by simply journaling. The great thing about journaling is that there is no pressure to create a specific outcome. It’s purely […]
Pretty soon spring and summer will be upon us. That means more long weekend, holidays, school breaks and vacation time! How do you spend your time off? Do you commit to unplugging and unwinding; or are you still swept up in your list of to-do’s? The most successful people, in their professional and private lives, […]
You’ve all heard me talk about the “PRINCE”-iples of Success. They start with knowing your passion and identifying your purpose. The First Steps Passion and purpose are two of my favorite things to talk about! One of the reasons is because they’re “easy” to identify. They are the things that you LOVE, what you […]
Why do you dream of becoming a published author? Is it to gain credibility in your field? Inspire others to take action? Help someone overcome a difficult time in their life? There are a million reasons to write a book. You probably have your own motivations and ideas of what being an author looks and […]
Do you know what it is? I hear it ALL the time. It’s also the number one thing holding people back from getting their story out for the world. The biggest misconception about writing a book is that only “great” writers can do it. Do you think when I wrote my first book I was […]
I get this from authors A LOT: “I have an idea for a book, but it’s already been done a hundred times!” Or… “I want to write a book, but I’m not an expert. Who would want to hear from me?” A great example comes to mind… Only You Can Start Your Book On […]
Have you ever heard the saying that your network is equal to your net worth? Helping others always pays off — sometimes in ways you can’t even imagine. Take “Book Bound” alumni, for example. Since the first year I began “Book Bound Workshop,” we’ve built a community of authors, entrepreneurs and business owners who have […]
Your imagination is a powerful tool that can reveal your purpose to you, simply by looking inside. Once you know your purpose, you can use your imagination even further to make it a reality. You will be able to plan for the future and set goals. At one time or other, things like cars, planes, […]
