A true story about me. During my summers in college I was a firefighter for the La Grande Hotshots. A Hotshot fire crew is an elite team of 20 wildland firefighters, the most highly trained in the country, which are prepared to battle the most serious fires nationwide. This was one of the most physically demanding things I’ve ever done. Imagine …
Earlier this month an entrepreneur was referred to me and we had an amazing conversation where she asked me to coach her. Awww so flattering (seriously it was flattering) because I love serving entrepreneurs and I LOVED her business. But here was the thing… errr …things…. #1: She wasn’t my perfect client. Since I’ve made the commitment to work within […]
As 2018 comes to a close, I’m reflecting on what’s gone well and not so well.

Jill and I like to take mini-vacations. We pack up the Winnebago (Shorty), grab the dog (obviously), and head for a nearby oasis to slow down give ourselves a break. In fact, we’re sitting at the beach right now! Does it ever feel like we have the time to be doing such lavish things? Absolutely not! Is it absolutely necessary? […]
I have to admit, I’ve always hated discipline. But looking back, I can’t deny that discipline was critical in everything I did well (as well as the culprit in everything that I didn’t do so well).
