The countdown!

4 more days to my Maine vacation…..

lobster, biking, reading, doing nothing- YAH!  Hmmmm- here is a major decision:

First meal- lobster roll or crab roll?

Have you used your vacation days yet?  Do you have a plan?  Did you use them wisely?  Write down three things you would like to do on a vacation over the next three years…post them on your desk!  Believe them to already be in the process of happening……

Pass the butter,

Does anybody have a 12 step program for frozen yogurt?

When in doubt…..

Whether you are building a business or building a life there are times when we just don’t know what to do next.  I am working on projects, personal, plans, and performance…it can be a little overwhelming at times.  I thought you might feel the same.  When I don’t know which move to make or step to take I go to my WHEN IN DOUBT space.  I thought I would do a little WHEN IN DOUBT SERIES for you, so you can see how I keep going, breathe, take a break, take a leap.

Series 1:  I know I am onto something big with the new program I am creating and sometimes I get frustrated with the mechanics and the “how” this will happen.  It feels ominous.  So, when in doubt…..

I DREAM……. Once this plan is in place and running and working I will transition from the job I have in the theatre indusrty and live for a month in Key West.  Fun, right?  Well a girl has to have a place to live.  So, yesterday I surfed the web on real estate sites and started making a list of my favorite digs for rent.   That got me really motivated!  When in doubt- DREAM!

(Maybe I’ll let my clients and subscribers pick the place)

Pina colada please,

Suzanne

Authenticity sticks!

Oh, the poor thing.  It kept falling to the floor.  I triend again…fell to the floor.  Then it tore.  Then it had no stckie left at all………..

I was laying out the big new project I am working on and decided to do it with post it notes on an empty wall and I was really in a flow- my idea was working…it was helping me focus!  EXCEPT……. the post it notes weren’t sticking and I was cussing.  Finally, I walked over to the package to check out the problem- did I make the wrong purchase?  And there I saw it.  It was all clear.  I had not bought post it notes I had bought Staples generic brand of post it notes.  Poor thing- they were trying to be post it notes, but they weren’t.  They couldn’t.

What are you trying to be?  Is it working?  Authenticity sticks and it’s easier.  Just be you.  There will be no one better at it.

Ain’t nothin like the real thing baby,

Suzanne

I KNOW!

Do you?

I was at a David Neagle seminar this weekend www.davidneagle.com and he described what we know and what we think we know very well…….

If you read something, listen to someone, experience something and you keep saying or thinking “I know!”  Well, you probably don’t and not only that……you have closed yourself off from being open to the idea, the concept, the new belief.

Try not knowing.  Be open.  Grow.

Fascinating,

Suzanne
