  • Coping With Holiday Slump

    It’s always this time of the year when I feel it. Holiday slump. Buyer’s remorse. Too much holiday food and alcohol. And the impending New Year. I begin reflecting back and think of all the money I didn’t make. All the people I didn’t help. And all the meaningful conversations I didn’t have. It’s a…

  • Should You Wait for Inspiration?

    I interviewed successful writers once for my column at The Writer magazine. The topic? Should writers wait on their muse to write? Since then, I’ve heard a number of novelists and writer/speakers say that you should definitely write even when you’re uninspired. If you wait, they say, you’ll never write. There are two schools of…

  • The Surprising Ways You’re Getting In Your Own Way

    You could be doing everything, “right.” You know what your purpose is. You’re doing the work daily, internally and externally, to be a success. But did you know you could still be sabotaging yourself? Self-sabotage is deceptive. Even if you work on your stuff, it could still creep in on you when you’re most vulnerable….

  • My Shameful Secret to Success

    Every time I divulge this secret to new and old friends, they shudder in horror. Maybe a little pity too. I’m always surprised by it. While others would rather be face with a lion than confront failure, I’m apt to meet in head on. If there’s one thing I’ve been good at it’s facing my…
