Author: Ali Brown
What does it mean to break out of your comfort zone? It means challenging yourself by reaching outside your normal range of skills and activities.

Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone. Even though my relationship with my wife Michelle is amazing, the love I feel for and from my girls is profound, and there are so many incredible people in my life (family, friends, and clients) - I still find that in my darkest moments, I feel like there's no one who really gets me, knows what I'm going through, or even cares enough to truly have my back.
Go For It - The power of boldness
Author: Mike Robbins
Do you consider yourself bold or someone who goes for it with passion in life? Some of us do, but most people I know and work with, myself included, admit that they don't often think of themselves as a bold person. Or, if we've done or said bold things in our lives, they seem to be few and far between...and they also seem to scare us half to death.
No Red Flags - Minimizing Mixed Messages
Author: Anthony Lindan

Author: Laura Howard West
As entrepreneurs, we wear many hats, juggle many balls, and any other crazy-busy metaphor you can come up with. You write website copy and ezine articles, work with clients, speaking, design new programs, create a product, hire people, fire people, bookkeeping, professional development..
Are you willing to be uncomfortable?
Author: Mike Robbins

Author: Leo Babauta
Procrastination is one of those topics that, it seems, I can’t write enough about. There isn’t a person among us who doesn’t procrastinate, and that’s a fact of life.
12 Steps to achieving happiness
Author: Tammy Strobel
For most of our adult lives we’re supposed to get to work on time, follow the rules set out in college, and generally be good boys and girls. We’re used to watching the clock, giving ourselves away for money and desiring gold stars in school. We’ve become so good at censoring ourselves, we don’t know who we are anymore.
