July 2017

One of my goals is to have weekends filled with plans and fun activities pretty much to avoid weekends like the one we just had. Sitting at my computer for hours on end researching something fun for all of us to do together. I felt so frustrated and stuck that I couldn’t find anything that not only we would ALL agree on, but that I could get myself excited about.

You’d think living here in NYC we wouldn’t have this issue, right?!?⠀
⠀
The whole problem was I couldn’t decide. I was stuck in research mode, trying to find something perfect that would inspire me.
⠀
Finally at 7:30 Sunday eve I said that’s it – I’m going out! All it took was a decision to take action. I got dressed, got in my car with the intention of going to the High Line. As I was driving down the West Side Highway I noticed how picturesque the Hudson River looked so it inspired me to take a detour and get off at the 79th St. Boat Basin. ⠀

⠀
My mood instantly changed! Taking action, a change of scenery, nice weather and camera in hand.⠀I was inspired by the view and used that time to be creative with my camera. When it got too dark, I headed over to the nearby Barnes & Noble and browsed through magazines and cookbooks – more creative inspiration!!

All it took was for me to get out of my own way, make a decision and not wait to please everyone.

If you find yourself stuck, feeling paralyzed and frustrated – whether it’s business or personal – take note of it and just DECIDE and TAKE ACTION – no matter how small and imperfect!

Step away from the computer, get yourself out of research mode and get into DOING mode!

If you’re still trying to decide about signing up for SUMMER of YOUR SUCCESS – good news – it’s like Christmas in July! I extended the early bird investment price through the end of July! Check it out here and of course if you have any questions, email me!

Only 2 weeks ago my girls finished school and now we’re in full blown summer mode. New schedules, new routines, camp, humidity, bad hair days, constant A/C and lots of ice pops!

Gone are the days (at least until September) of having consistent 6 hour blocks of time to work on my biz.

On days that they’re not in camp they still expect to be entertained.

By ME!

When the girls wake you’d think I’d hear “Good morning mom” but instead it’s “Mom – what are we doing today?!?”

Ummm…Watch me sit at my computer?!?

Come with me on a photoshoot?

I can’t really see why neither of those 2 options are appealing to them but I guess we’ve got to do some adjusting.

Don’t get me wrong – I want to have a fun summer with them but I also want to still keep the momentum going in my business and personal development. These are a few of the things I do:

I wake up early and get stuff done while they sleep – the most important things because that’s when I have alone time to focus.
I continue to work on my mindset daily through reading, journaling and audios.
I joined and paid for 2 group coaching programs related to mindset and goals to give me accountability and keep me on track.
I go to events with successful entrepreneurs where I continue to learn, uplevel and make connections.
I make things that are important to me and my biz a priority and schedule them in. My girls do sometimes have to work around MY schedule!
I get my husband to split the activity time on days they’re not in camp.

I want to help you to have a Summer of Success – to keep the momentum going so you don’t get caught up in the start and stop cycle of your business. I created 2 special options this summer so that when Fall rolls around, you’re not starting from scratch.

The program is called Summer of Your Success and I have both 1:1 and group coaching options. I only have 5 spots available for the 1:1 so if you think you may be interested, get in touch so we can see if we’re a good fit. The group option is great if you’re looking for bite sized daily actions – tell a friend and do it together!

All of the details for both options are over on the Summer of Your Success page.

We can do this together – bad hair days and all!
