1. Have you heard this one? "If you build it they will come". Yea, it's pretty popular and inspirational but it's a Fallacy. The Truth is "If you position for your Avatar they will be drawn to the vision". Who is your vision for? What problem are you solving? What language do they speak? Where do they shop?
"They" won't support Your vision but Your tribe aka Avatar will be drawn to your vision - Lets be clear; You are not for everyone
2. It's Your Vision. You ever tried on someone else's glasses? It's blurry and uncomfortable. That is often the experience that people feel when you are describing your vision. Your vision is just not clear for everyone else. It only needs to be clear for You. Side note: Your vision far surpasses family and friends; its OK if they don't support via purchase; You just need to make sure that the tribe created for your Vision recognizes it and let Your family and friends remain family and friends
3. You are not filling Up Your Space You are holding a space. My friend; if You are not 100 about Your vision You will continue to be disappointed when someone doesn't support and/or understand the vision. You have to be committed; take every "no" as a potential 'Yes"; take every opportunity as a visionary experience; You are already qualified, stop with the one more certification.

Purpose most often is recognized as a soft skill; in our current workplace environment of three to four generations in the workplace, technology ever-changing and diverse work groups; Purposeful Leadership should be a part of strategy and embedded in Change Management.
Your life is a treasured gift for you and those you meet.
All in all; Leadership is not a thing or what you do. Leadership is how you do it.
What is your “stretch” goal? If it doesn’t “stretch” you; it doesn’t grow you.
Most often while we are in waiting and planning mode; someone else is in execution mode.
Whatever we pay attention to grows in strength and what we disregard loses strength.
Your fears are perceived failures........... If you are anything like me; you crush Monday through Thursday and Fridays are left to review weekend goals or get ready for Monday.
March is Women’s History month paying homage by celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of women throughout history. As I reflect on and aspire to encompass the courage, focus and sheer will of some of the women in history who were the first; it also conjures up for me another question.
How do you expand what you are already good at? Taking the time to develop and sustain value added and collaborative relationships that are mutually supporting is what you do next.
Our character is the host of our personality, temperament, disposition, boosting our responses and reactions.
To be smart is to be intelligent, be bright and astute.
