Success in the Midst of a Challenge

How can a person find success in the midst of an obstacle? On the surface, it would seem that you absolutely have to overcome the obstacle before achieving success. Yet, this isn’t actually true. Real success comes from finding value  in the middle of the challenge – which requires a person to stretch, grow, and

Scared and It’s Not Even Halloween Yet

Two years ago, I began a journey of what I wanted to write and speak about next.

Success in a Box

Does this sound like someone you know (or even you): you have a goal or dream and know exactly what it would look like and yet you have tabled it for some undefined time in the future? Now, I am not judging you or anyone – that would be completely hypocritical. Yet I notice that

After the Door Closes, What’s Next?

I was chatting with a friend a couple of weeks ago and he had a surprising problem in his career that led to the closing of the business he launched about five years ago. While such an obstacle can derail anyone, the obstacle wasn’t really the problem – it was the fact that he desperately
