Sometimes the force that causes us to START – or in my case, to FINISH – comes from a place we’d least expect. I’ve been in the web redesign process for months now. It started in the new year, when I began conceptualizing the general direction I wanted to go with my new site. Then I gained a lot more clarity over the Summer when I took Marie Forleo’s magnificent B School program. Finally after months of dragging my heels... View Article

Last week I received an email from a new friend – someone who subscribes to my newsletter – asking a very good question. I thought I would answer it in this week’s post as it pertains to many of us.
