Stop Playing Follow the Leader instead Lead Your Pack

There’s a trend in the marketplace I can date back to 2009 but I know it has been going on longer than I care to remember. When did it become ok for you to abandon your Soul’s Purpose to follow the dreams and purpose of your High End Coach/Mentor? You see I have noticed a trend with so many women who have gotten derailed in…

Now that all the mega-lottery winners have stepped forward, the overwhelming odds are you didn't win. Americans spent $1.5 billion in their quest to win the jackpot, fantasizing about how they would happily spend the $656 million to be paid out to the winner. As it happened, there were three winning tickets so the final after-tax take home for each will be about $100 million. Still, nothing to sneeze at.

Are YOU waiting to Fall in Love with Your Life?

As I travel around my virtual world connecting with Women in Business and those who have jobs, I have discovered a common theme. Many women are waiting for something to happen in order for them to do something…

We all know about the importance of play for the emotional growth and development of children. It can enhance their imagination, increase social skills and boost self-confidence. So why don't we place more value on play for ourselves? According to a recent study by the Families and Work Institute, ½ of American women don’t have enough time to spend on themselves and the activities they enjoy.

Early on, girls tend to be collaborative, communicative and caring –…

United Boomers of America appreciates and supports ANY program that helps returning veterans re-enter what is certainly a challenging workplace. However, while the current media is patting themselves on the back for joining the Chamber of Commerce in assisting the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the UBA community wants to once again express frustration and aggravation that veterans of previous wars don’t seem to warrant equal effort with a highly publicized national project.

UBA has…

As an entrepreneur, do you ever feel distracted at times? It can be those bright, shiny objects that get in the way of staying focused on activities that bring results that create wealth. Can you relate?

One of the reasons we get distracted is simply a creative avoidance tactic – when we are facing a task that takes us out of our comfort zone, or requires us to take risks – or simply because we have no idea what our revenue targets and goals are for the year. Having targets and goals…

Have you ever worked with a coach and wondered why you didn’t get the results you expected? Having worked for many years as an Executive coach, a Leadership Coach, a Life coach and now a Business coach, I have heard every story (translation: excuse) under the sun when it comes to this mindset.

I recognize that many entrepreneurs ‘don’t know what they don’t know’ and that can apply when it is your first experience working with a…

This is a personal plea to promote the non-profit organization "Defenders of Wildlife".

As a professional hiking guide who works in close relationship with a local wolf sanctuary, I cannot condone the legislation Wyoming is…

This may seem like a weird question to ask but it can make the difference attracting who and what you want for your business and life.  How are you treating your Brand? Who and What are you allowing to align or associate with your Brand?

I was having a chat with my coach the other day, YES, I have a coach and never will be with out one.  We were discussing the fact I was looking for a cupcake designer and several people had made…

As I age I notice that I do not exercise the way I used to. For one thing, I no longer care as much about the latest fitness trend. I still enjoy the social sports like golf and enjoy swimming, yoga and skiing when I can. The reality is that none of these are consistent. I have never been a runner and quite frankly it hurts my feet, knees and back. So, my regular exercise regimen simply consists of walking almost everyday. I do anywhere from two to five miles.…

Happy New Year!  I am very excited about this year! I am turning 50 and I am truly embracing it! Here is a video about my plans for this year:

The t-shirt I am wearing in the video was given to me by ndy (Not Done Yet) creator, Carol April. I LOVE this t-shirt because this is exactly how I feel about turning 50 – I am…

I've been a member of this group (and several other Boomer groups) for a few years now. I have a fairly new blog site for you to enjoy, "Baby Boomers Laugh and Learn Membership Site", that emphasizes Boomer laughs, Boomer info, and Boomer discussions. I add material to this site daily for Boomers to laugh and learn.



You'll find it to be more comprehensive than my other blog site (Baby Boomer Baloney). I ask you fellow Boomers to…

2012 is such a powerful year of transformation. It feels like everyday I am stretching and transforming right before my very eyes. It feels so good! As part of my personal transformational journey this year I have had to put the finishing touches on my new brand, website and upleveling all of my…

Long before it was a song, the saying was a part of our conversation - and it's especially appropriate during February, the month of love:



Love makes the world go round.



With all this whirling, love can make you feel off balance and dizzy. Sometimes it's tricky to keep your personal world turning without having it spin totally out of control. Although our focus is most often on romantic love, there are many different kinds of love that help keep us…

I recently gave a keynote presentation, and a workshop, to a large group of middle and senior managers. I asked them about their biggest challenge as a leader these days – and the answer was unanimously about motivating employees in the workforce.

What you can do is to inspire people. There are different types of motivation. I want to explore them with you, briefly.That was rather interesting to me because, as I…

When you work for someone else, you’re instructed to go with the flow, play nicely in the sandbox, and be a team player. The game plan changes, however, as you move from the comfort and security of the corporate world into the unknown and uncertainty of being a boomerpreneur or small-business owner. All of a sudden,…

He could have done so much for his fellow Black Americans. He could have done so much for anyone coming from a low-income background. But President Obama has missed his opportunity to be a difference maker in this great country of ours. Instead of lifting citizens out of the morass they find themselves in, he has dumped more of the same manure on top of too many people. It's the same stuff our people have been getting from the government for 50 years.

I've been away for several months. Broke my ankle in July while crossing the border from the US to Canada so have been recuperating. Am back to cycling and learning to live in Canada I look forward to participating more here and am enjoying looking through the posts.

I cycle everyday and have learned how to balance myself on slippery, snowy roads. The key is to stay off the glazed over parts. I am actually starting to enjoy cycling in inclement weather. It is definitely…

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t hear someone in social media makes reference that we are in a state of high Unemployment. I say we are in a time where people need to do some self-reflection and reinvent themselves. I am going to go a step further to say there are jobs and purposeful…
