Will Your Relationship Take Care of Itself?
I recently asked our private Whole Life Entrepreneurship group in which area they tended to spend the most time, money, and energy: professional development, personal development, or relationship development. It seems most of us tend to put a lot into our work and...

Wow. Just... wow. I cannot even believe that this is my life! Adam and I both feel so blessed to have had our lives touched by each and every one of the speakers on this summit. Colin Morgan gave us a glimpse at what it looks like to live our lives with the...
Community Purge
I talk a lot about community. I write about it in my book, on the blog, and Adam and I focus a lot on it within our WLE methodology. I wonder though if we could still use some clarification on this very important component of our 3C’s- COMMUNITY. When I say...

How to Support in the Midst of the Panic and Pressure of a New Startup
Adam and I have recently become jobless. Well, not exactly. See, last summer he sold the company that has paid our bills for the last 13 years. From the outside that might seem like we hit the jackpot, like we finally won the long race. And in a way that’s true. ...
Scared
We are at the final piece of this series, but I believe it’s the most important one. Both the entrepreneur and their life partner feel three common emotions for different reasons. Together they make up A.S.S.: ALONE, STRESSED, and SCARED. The funny thing is that...
Stressed
