This week was a turning point – letting stuff go, and focusing more on what is my work, moving forward. Also, I go on a rant about the b.s. of “passive” revenue and the benefits of leaving money on the table.

EveryDay40: Startup Energy
Right now I’m in startup mode for the new law firm – and this week I admitted to myself what that really means. I can’t be in two start up modes at once. My startup energy utils are finite – if I’m using it on one project, I can’t start up other projects (relationships, etc.) [...]
EveryDay39: Just another one of these videos.
Another one of those everyday videos where I’m posting more because I post a video every week, and less because it has any particular pithy points to take away. Last week was a hard one – some stressful stuff I handled set off one of those monster multi-day migraines that I’m still recovering from. But [...]
EveryDay38: Following the Flow.
I’ve started businesses before, even written business plans – some of them of the 40-page variety, some of the one-page variety. But this time, while I have ideas and lists and mindmaps, I’ve let go of plans. Instead, I’m following the flow.
EveryDay37: Pick One Tiny Thing
Last week was about re-establishing habits and routines, now that G is back in school. Some worked, and on some … well … I procrastinated / got stuck / was lazy / didn’t do anything. So instead of beating myself up (much), I changed the game plan for next week. Instead of big changes to [...]
EveryDay33: The weirdness of having a good week.
I had a good week. Amazing. This week I kept implementing the elimination diet to find foods that set off migraines, and I actually was able to get stuff done on projects (Wow! #progress!). In related news, I’m leaving for my personal retreat / road trip today. Goals: live in the moment, go with the [...]
EveryDay31: Video where I complain about migraines.
(Disclosure: this is one of those videos that I’m only posting because I committed to post a weekly everyday video, not because it provides some pithy lessons for anyone to take away to apply in their lives, etc.) In this video I share about my struggles this last week with travel side effects, migraines, and [...]
EveryDay30: Going old-school with paper and pen
Last week I worked and traveled without my laptop – resorting to writing my morning pages, notes, ideas, blog post outlines, project plans, and brainstorms by hand, pen in a notebook. And it was wonderful. There is a different part of my brain, a different state of existence that happens when I leave the laptop [...]
EveryDay29: If you need a lawyer in a suit, I'm not your girl.
The big thing that happened last week, is that I thought about, researched, and decided to re-open my law firm. As I said in my podcast, it’s been interesting to come back to this point on the spiral with my legal career. In this EveryDay video, I share why I’m starting my own firm again, [...]
EveryDay28: Updates on the book & projects & living in the moment
(I had a migraine when I recorded this video, so pardon my tiredness.) Last week I was on a vacation/staycation with Gracie, and ended up not doing all my EveryDay stuff on a couple days due to tiredness and time management problems and the side effects of being in the same room with an extrovert. [...]
