Let’s discuss the idea of rejecting rejection. Yes, rejection is a natural part of life, even when you’re on your way to success! You never have anything to lose by asking… This the part of your journey that no one really likes to talk about. Sure they talk about it after the fact, when success has set in, but rarely is it glorified in the throes of the process. Rejection
Ask! Ask! Ask! – you’ve got to ask! Approximately a thousand times a day my kids ask me for something. And approximately half of those times I say “no”, or “not now”, or “what?”…but there are also the times that I say “yes”…and so they continue to go for it, despite not always getting what they want. You won’t always get what you want, you will hear no. But you
Don’t let fear stop you from achieving your dreams! On your way to success you have to confront your fears. Most people let fear stop them from making the necessary steps to achieve their dreams. Face your fears. Do one thing a day you are afraid of. There are countless quotes on facing our fears, and leaders telling you how they can help you overcome the obstacles that you have

Now it’s time to start walking the walk and talking the talk, and living the life as if it were entirely your reality. Let’s say for example your dream is to be
Visualization of your future as a success tool to greatly accelerate the achievement of your personal successes is not a new concept. For centuries, the benefit of visualization has been written about, yet so many of us don’t take five minutes from our day to actually do it! Right before your sleep takes over and you are lying in bed ‘thinking’…what is it that you are thinking about? I bet it’s
Release the brakes – What does that mean? The process of releasing your emotional hand brake, means to get out of your self-inflicted prison and let go of negative self-thoughts by replacing limiting beliefs with good intentions. “ Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone” Release the Brakes.

The other day I was chatting with a client who is just getting started on a new Portable Career Path. She is completely committed and so excited about the possibilities ahead! I could feel her enthusiasm about all aspects of her journey, save for one. The one thing giving her pause? Networking. Or as she put it, “schmoozing.” This word that can strike fear in the heart of even the
We live in a world that is so connected. It would be near impossible to not find the traces, or clues, of those who have gone before us in their adventure of achieving their life’s goals – goals that are often going to be similar in one way or another to what we hope to achieve. With this abundance also comes an opportunity to learn from what others have done
