Success equals: inspiration, perspiration and a little bit of “woo woo….”
I’m sitting here on vacation in Sedona, don’t yell at me for “working.” The real thing is, writing isn’t work for me at all, I truly love to do it… This is such a spiritual and artistic place, it got me thinking… That’s when it hit me, I noticed for the first time how long it actually takes for my heart to catch up with my head.

Another one of my favorite quotes from my amazing coach, Ms. Debbie Phillips (www.debbiephillips.com) – “Don’t give up before the miracle!” This quote has been around the corner whenever I needed or didn’t even know I needed it.

I’m going to tell you something that I haven’t told anyone… I almost gave up, almost threw in the towel on my business. It was 4 years ago. I had started my new direct response marketing business…
