From Fear to Here

Fear seems to be the companion, if not the friend, of every entrepreneur I've ever met. That's the reality of being someone who seeks their edge, and steps over it out of their comfort zone.

***Harnessing the Energy of Change Champions

Peter Drucker once said, "whenever anything is being accomplished, it is being done, I have learned, by a monomaniac with a mission." That sure squares with my own consulting experience. When I look back at the hundreds of team or organization changes I've been involved in during the last three decades, most successful – and certainly all major ones – were driven by "monomaniacs with a mission."

Excuses, Excuses!

We looooove excuses, but they hold us back. "No, I DON'T love excuses," you say? Think about the last time you said, "I can't". It's not fair to yourself to say those words until you've actually committed to making something happen. Once you have committed to moving forward, the rules of play can feel intense, but they can also feel like flying, if you let yourself try. Here are the rules: (1) Find something you are absolutely committed to seeing through, even (especially!) if you don't know if you will be successful! (2) Try something - anything - to make this goal come through.r

Improve Self-Esteem to Achieve Success: 10 Tips Everyone Must Know
