When You Feel Like a Fraud

We’ve all been there.

You feellike you’re putting on a show.

You’re afraid that someone will see through your mask.

You’re scaredofbeing humiliated.

The storygoes on and on.

It’s excruciating.

I know, because I’ve been there. I’ve wanted to give up in frustration. I’ve battled my inner demons.

Luckily, there is a way out.

Why Life Doesn’t Turn Out the Way You Want

“It is the great north wind that made the vikings.” – Scandinavian Proverb

Have you noticed that your life doesn’t always turn out the way you want?

In fact, more often than not, you don’t get what you want.

This is a good thing.

It’s life nudging you in the right direction.

It’s life showing you where you need to grow, and what you need to release, to become the person you are meant to be.

The problem then isn’t that life is hard, but something entirely different.

And that is what you’ll discover a...

21 Things You Can Do To Change Your Life Forever

Last night I had a dream.

It was Christmas Eve. And I was receiving presents.

At that time, all I could think of was “I don’t want these. It’s just more stuff I won’t use.”

Looking back, I can see how much I’ve changed. I almost haven’t noticed the change, because it sneaks up on you, until it’s impossible to ignore.

It’s like when you were a kid. You got taller, but you didn’t notice until you stood up against the wall with the marks.

The same holds true for life changes.

You are constantly changi...

When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

Everywhere you look, you’re told to achieve.

And sure, you can getthings done, but at what cost?

If you’reanything like me, youwant to do work you love, but you also want to remain somewhat sane.

Life isn’t all about work.

It’s not all about achieving.

There are times when you feel like taking action.

And there are times when you don’t feel like doing anything.

How to Do What You Love

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” - Joseph Campbell

Just a few short years ago, I didn’t know I could get paid to do what I love.

I was stuck in rules, shoulds, and what people thought I should do.

But then things changed.

I started listening to myself, to my inner GPS.

I discovered more joy, happiness, and peace.

I realized that life isn’t about getting something or becoming someone in order to be happy.

Life is about being happy and then following the...

How to Make Great Decisions in Life + Business

Aah.

Decisions.

Should I do this, or that?

Should I follow my passion, or should I take the “safe” road?

Our lives are made up of decisions.

How you make those decisions determines your life.

But it’s not just how, but from where you make decisions.

That’s whatmany people miss.

They may achieve success, but without following their inner authority, they may never achieve satisfaction.

“How Often Should I Blog?”

A common question I get is: “How often should I blog?”

Should you post something daily?

Three times per week?

What about weekly? Is weekly too little?

What people are really asking is: What should I do in order to succeed?

We reach for formulas. We want guarantees. I know,because I did this when I started in late 2009.

And I still do. I’m in no way immune.

But this isn’t the right focus if you want to live a satisfying life.

You Don’t Have to Plan Your Business (or Your Life)

Something that has become more and more apparent over the years is how little influence my plans have on what actually happens.

I still have a direction for where I want my business to go, but I’m not rigid about it.

You could say that I have more of a general direction, or intention, rather than a detailed plan that outlines every step to my destination.

I also have the benefit of not needing to be rigid because I don’t need to aggressively grow my business.

Whenever I want to grow my business,...

What to Do When You Hate Your Job

Are you stuck in a job you hate?

Do youwish you could escape and do work you love?

I oftenget emails that gosomething like this: I’m in a job I hate. How can Iescape and do work I love?

I could try andgive people a formula to follow. It would make them feel good.

But it wouldn’t be the truth.

My answer is rarely whatmost people want to hear, but if you’re ready for real change, it’sexactly what you need to hear.

You see, there’s no quick fix. No shortcut.

The bottom line is that you need to look ins...
