As I sit down to write this blog I'm dog tired - physically, mentally, and emotionally. And I frickin love it. Why? Because the exhaustion comes from the best kind of work. Soul-stirring, love-fueled, OPUS-filled work. In the last 48 hours I've traveled to and from Columbus, Ohio for 5 amazing practices, a walk and … Continue reading Day 130: Chillin’ it to killin’ it…

Day 117: The gold standard…
"Deliberate practice is a lifestyle." So true. AND I reminded myself this last week that I'm in pursuit of progress, not perfection. Pursuit of mastery means checking in and rechecking in with yourself to learn what's working, what's not, where do adjustments need to be made? I'd been letting some of my own deliberate practice … Continue reading Day 117: The gold standard…
Day 109: Cascade meaning…
To cascade meaning you have to give up control on one side of the equation and seize a little more of it if you're on the other. If you're the leader you're likely used to controlling things.

When I first met him he was tolerating a lot of chronic pain in every aspect of his life. He had no shoot in his eye, was avoiding conflict, … Continue reading Day 88: Beginning to believe…
Day 81: Fear…
Fear grips you, perhaps even controls you, if you're like most humans. Fear is crippling. It causes us to shrink back, do less, be less, play small, live an uninspired but safe life. Fear is a liar. Fear tells you that whatever this next thing is could be the worst thing that happened to you. … Continue reading Day 81: Fear…
Day 71: Toto…
"The BTL builders are not here to change you into something you’re not. We’re here to help you get comfortable being who you are." This comment by Chet in day 71 has been one of my favorite things I've learned the more I become BTL.

Day 70: No mo…
Some of you probably read Day 70 in the book and think it doesn't apply to you. You've got a totally crazy, frustratingly overbooked schedule 24/7/365 and that's just the way it has to be - no way around it. Chet doesn't get YOUR world, after all. I often hear something similar from clients early … Continue reading Day 70: No mo…
