#4 Are you a perfectionist?
Sent Friday, September 17, 2010
Hi ,
Remember I told you I haven't gotten
this perfect yet?
I spent all day Wednesday with my
Canadian buddy Ed to mastermind and
brainstorm about each others' businesses.
I love to do this with him, because we
bounce off of each other well and always
come away enthused and inspired about
our work, and with some darn good ideas.
Wednesday was no exception.
So one of the things we threw around for
me was the name of my "smarts." He wasn't
kicked in the […]

#3 Ever feel like a fraud?
Sent Monday, September 13, 2010
Hi ,
This is a "hush hush" topic that isn't talked
about a lot, but almost every business owner
feels it at one point or another.
You know, that panicky feeling of not being
good enough at what you do, that maybe
you shouldn't even be running a business.
But you can't admit it to anyone -- if the
word got out, no one would ever hire you
again!
It's the Fraud Factor, and it sounds like this:

#2 A "woo woo" method for making decisions
Sent Thursday, September 9, 2010
Hi ,

you three days in a row. I know many
people will unsubscribe because of
this, and that's okay.
I also know that there are those of
you who really want and need this
information. It's for you that I'm
writing.
Yesterday I talked about how decision
making becomes easier when values are
defined -- here's a second "woo woo"
method for making decisions, before
you get too far off that tack.
(If you missed yesterday's […]

#1 Is there a right way to make decisions?
Sent Wednesday, September 8, 2010
Hi ,
Yesterday I told you to look for some
new things from me as I rework my
business.
One of the things I decided I want
to do right away is share some real,
no nonsense Business Smarts with you,
beginning today.
Let's get started:
Business Conundrum #1
Q.
"I agonize over every decision I make
for my company, afraid I'll do the wrong
thing. Is there a right way to make
decisions for my company? Are there
any quick guidelines or rules of thumb
I can use […]

I've been thinking
Sent Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Hey !
I don't know if you've noticed that
I haven't been around, but I've been
unplugged for awhile --
on purpose.
I really needed some time to stop and
take a look at my business. It just
wasn't making total sense to me the
way it was. I was doing a lot of things
I loved, but it didn't feel as pulled
together -- as real -- as it could be.
So I knew it was time for me to do
what I recommend my clients do:
I stopped, took a good hard look at
what I was […]
