When I first started my business, I called myself a Business Strategist.

However, I learned quickly that strategic advice is not enough to effect real change.

I decided that I don’t want to be the consultant that gives my clients a one-hundred-point plan which leaves them even more overwhelmed than before. I want to stay a while and see actual results.

It was July 4th and I went to the mall with my mother. We had only an hour to shop, and I knew that our time had to be spent in the shoe section. But I really wanted a new dress. A dress very similar to the one I was wearing. So as we ascended the elevator I offered a quick prayer and asked for it.

I knew just what I needed. I was going to find a job.
Not just any job, but the most boring job there was.
The work would be 100% stress-free.
I would give a few hours of my time, but leave all my energy and creativity for Golden Nuggets.

I finally found it. My dream job.

Goals are great. Burnout is not so great.
This week, give yourself permission to take a break.
Take some time to relax and unwind.

Without your tight control, things will immediately fall apart. Right?

Me and Grammar?
Never. We were not friends in school.
When I graduated, I knew I would never think about grammar again.

Yet somehow, since I started my blog, I've googled more grammar questions than I did over my entire life.
Suddenly, I have the patience to learn the difference between EACH and EVERY.

And it's not just grammar.
I see myself having the strength and courage to do things that I always thought were just 'not my type'.
