For some of us, procrastination is not the productivity problem you think it is.

Any talk about recessions is really a concern about uncertainty, which is something you and I encounter and have to navigate every day.

The most profound questions tend to emerge during or from challenging times.

When what you really want is the comfort of certainty, see that as life’s way of saying you need more clarity.

It is very important to recognize the uniqueness embedded in repetition.

For years, I didn’t think I had a dramatic story to tell about money. What's your money story?

For the most part, our culture “rewards” doing over being and compartmentalizing over taking an integrated, holistic approach to almost everything.

What do you do when things with you and your money seem to be running smoothly, and then…bam! You feel like you’ve hit a brick wall?

You don’t have to love money (as in idolize it) to have a loving relationship with it (as in treat it with respect).

Boundaries are most effective when you focus on how they both protect you and serve as a bridge to what you want.

Goals are about so much more than the outcome you’re aiming for. Because in the process of attaining them, you discover who you are.

What’s your relationship with regret?  Is it a fleeting emotion, or one you can’t shake because it is ever-present?  In what area (or relationships) of your life or business do you have any regrets?  How many money-related regrets do you have?

Did you know August is National Black Business Month? In 2004, Frederick E. Jordan and John William Templeton started this annual month-long event of recognition to, “drive the policy agenda affecting the 2.6 million African-American businesses.”

Last week, a dear friend shared an experience that made her sad. It made me sad, too – for my friend and the financial well-being of her now former client. 

After writing last week’s post, I recorded a video talking about our cultural tendency to view money in a monolithic manner. When it is anything but.  For example, in business money represents revenue, profit, and cashflow.

Am I right?  I mean, really…think about the relationships that are of most significance to you.
