July 21, 2014 - What value do you bring? Have you considered the tangible and intangible value that you bring to the work that you do or to the business you are in?

April 29, 2013 - Are you feeling tested? Is everything you are attempting to accomplish being met with a challenge lately? Are you feeling that you are being tested in some way? Do you feel that you shouldn't have to prove anything at this stage of your life, your career or in your business?

Dec 5, 2011 – Feeling unrecognized? Are you going above and beyond in your work and what you deliver only to feel as though no-one seems to be noticing?

Never let others’ lack of recognition keep you from doing what you believe is the right way to be in how you approach doing things. Always focus on...

Sept 20, 2010 – Is your work all you have? Is your business or work giving you the ability to have a life you love or is your entire life your work or your business?

June 7, 2010 – Are you confusing busy with real action? Are you busy as can be, but not seeing the results from your busyness? Then you could be falling into the trap of confusing distraction with action. Is everything that you are staying busy doing moving you towards reaching one of your goals or simply filling your time? Oftentimes busyness is a way to avoid what seems overwhelming or intimidating. It is a way of putting things off without feeling like you are procrastinating because at...

May 31, 2010 – Is a balance mindset limiting you? Have you gotten trapped into the “this will have to wait” mentality? Are some things you want to do in your life on hold because of what you want to do in your business? Are there things in your business that you feel must wait because of what you are focusing on right now in your life? If you believe it has to be one or the other right now, then you are in a balancing mindset reacting and focusing on what is “out of balance” instead...

April 26, 2010 – Are you building a career or a better life? Are you so focused on building a career or a business that you have forgotten what you are ultimately trying to do in building a life?

Take an MM&I Moment to view your current life through those with whom you work or live. What are they missing in you and what are you...
