Many solopreneurs who are right-brain oriented such as artists, healers, intuitives, struggle with being super-focused.

One of my heroes is Steve Jobs. He stuck to his vision even though everyone disagreed with him.

Most of the entrepreneurs that I have met who are not having the kind of success that they desire have a problem with their mindset. I can sense it when I hear them talk about their business.

Recently I had a conversation with another coach and she said, “I don’t want to sound conceited, but I really am good at what I do.” It reminded me of the fact that so many coaches, consultants, and solopreneurs are afraid to toot their own horn, because they’re afraid of appearing conceited.

One day during a group coaching session the topic of list making came up. It was interesting to see that some of the people made to-do lists daily and others never worked off of a list. It occurred to me that perhaps I should write a post about how to make a to-do list that works for you.
