I’m working on another blog post, but it’s not going anywhere so I’ll let it simmer for a while longer. I want to talk about good days and bad days. My 100 day challenge is to move my businesses ahead every day. It’s easy to let days go by just doing it doing it and […]

Founder’s Role Discussion
This post evolved as I wrote it over the past week or so and I learned, as I wrote it. It starts in one place and ends up in another. I should fix it so it tells one story, but I’m going to leave it as is. Consider it like we are having a conversation […]
Enchantment: the art of changing hearts,...
This is a great book to read as I’m thinking about creating the best experience for people working with us (as staff, Business Owners and partners). The Table of Contents is a checklist to measure progress so here goes: How to be Likeable – most people would agree I’m a likeable person. I’ve been working […]
Instigating a Business
I have, what I think is a very cool idea for a new business I’m calling Repair-Share. I’ve put it out there and I’m talking about it to people. People are responding enthusiastically to the concept, but that is just the start. As I work on it and begin to develop the idea, I’m making […]
Just ask Seth and Mitch
I started a post this morning with a recap of progress this week. There’s quite a bit to say and as I was writing I realized how big each point could get. An hour or so in and it was messy, rambling and unfocused – still with a few gems but they were well disguised. […]
Three Days In – Progress
Work is progressing nicely on the Welcome package for CCBL business owners. It’s an interesting exercise in understanding who we help the most, who loves our service, what expectations we have and what expectations we have had problems with in the past. This welcome package is helping me get clarity around what is important for […]
100 Day Project
There are 100 days between today, 14 September and 20 December (the day I typically stop for the holidays (I am a mother of 4)). If I don’t do things differently, nothing will change and I want things to step up a notch here. Starting today I am doing one thing to move each of […]
Change is Hard
I’ve been writing this blog post for a few weeks now and it has bottle-necked any other post from coming along. Know what I mean? Today I read the Transitions are Tough post by Christine Gilbert on her blog Almost Fearless. She, her husband and their 18 mo baby are traveling the world. Something I […]
Business as Experiment
I haven’t been here for a while. I’ve been doing. TEDxNovaScotia, growing Crystal Clear Bookkeeping to 3 full-time people (I’m aiming for 5 by the end of the year) and starting a new venture: Repair-Share. That hasn’t left me much time for reflecting, let alone writing. It’s funny how much I’ve started noticing people expressing […]
Are you Proud of Your Brand?
It’s election time, here in Canada and the interest groups are out. As I was walking to my office, I met a group of Pro-Lifers coming the other way. Now I’m a feminist and I believe that a woman should have reproductive choice, but I believe that abortion should be the strategy of last choice […]
