MAWMonday Motivators 07/26/2015
The most frustrating thing to me are the lessons I learned and committed to memory that are just plain false. Those misguided attempts at wisdom of well-meaning people who were hoping to keep me safe instead of allowing me to live in the fully glory of risk. It’s not the ones you know about and […]

As I work through my Can-Do List, I sometimes find myself overwhelmed with the ideas that continue to flood my mind and the projects that materialize out of ability and ambition. Like you, I have a routine of discipline and a resolve to FINISH that motivate my progress. But this week, I am reminded about […]

This week, I challenge you to work on your positivity and expectation of great and wondrous benefit to you and those you come into contact with. The key is to arrest those typical thoughts that we see as responsibility and even adulthood. Success in being positive this week will require you to rework your vocabulary […]

This weeks motivators speak to that lonely position trailblazers occupy. It is just true that, even in the most supportive of environments, there are times when you are the only one with the idea, the intestinal fortitude, the capability, the focus, the drive to complete a task. It will happen if you are innovating. You […]

I was drawn to the discussion of fear, control, faith, purpose, and surrender. The way it all came together was inspiring to me. It ended with […]

Tracy Morgan moved me this week. It’s no secret that I’m inspired by the success and work of SNL, Tina Fey, 30 Rock, and any comedian that builds a career after being a cast member–any cast. What energizes me every time is the idea that that one chance can turn into so much more. It […]

I had a moment this week. The long story is that I have had 3 people tell me my future. Yes. They stopped me and told me specifics about my productivity, children, where I would live, and the financial success I would achieve. Similar to the movies, there was a time when this was the […]
