There are two types of people, or rather, people can be put into one of two categories. In one group, there are the people who primarily believe that things happen to them, that their fate is inherently out of their control, that luck, circumstance, and the actions of others dictate the way their life is going to play out. In contrast, an individual with an internal locus of control believes that they have the agency, that it is their actions and decisions that change their life. Essentially, those with an internal locus of control believe that they have the power to drive their own destiny. We all exist on a spectrum of how much weight we put on each perspective.

Read moreNo One Is Coming to Save You
Those first years in business, when I created this business because I had bills to pay and couldn’t find a job that would meet my requirements, I let myself entertain a backup plan. I let myself try this whole business thing out while I waited for the dream job to appear. I entertained working for a big fancy museum, I built relationships with environmentally revolutionary startups, I let other opportunities distract me from the work in front of me, from the mission I am carrying out, from the vision of all I will build with this business.
Read moreThe Shape of a Shitty Year
With my clients and my own business, I work hard to intentionally create a rhythm to the year that incorporates the key elements of prep, push, and replenish. Just like the intentional rhythm that my members experience in the Full Focus Entrepreneur membership, this rhythm is designed to prevent the pitfalls that we all fall into when we let our time go without the guidance of intentional design and planning. Right now my clients are getting ready for our mid-year goal check-in. We do a goal review at the end of each quarter, but the halfway point of the year is particularly important. I created these intentional check-ins because I know (first hand) that a year left to its own devices can be really ineffective, disheartening, and, honestly, not enjoyable. So without further ado, may I present the shape of a shitty year.
Read moreBad Business Coach Baggage
I will be the first to admit that business coaches are a dime a dozen. Poke your head into any business Facebook group or networking event and you are bound to find at least one. As soon as Google and Facebook figure out that you have a business, you’ll be constantly plagued with “buy my online program” popups. Not only are they everywhere, but coaches are also largely unregulated. Even certification programs are basically a rubber stamp that puts out cookie-cutter business advice out there (which clearly doesn’t work or there would be a much lower business failure rate). I have to admit to being highly skeptical of my own industry. So many of my clients and potential clients come to me with a bad coaching experience under their belts and leaving a bad taste in their mouths. One bad coaching experience can leave you with Bad Business Coach Baggage.
