Greetings to all my encore career entrepreneur peeps. Welcome to those of you longing for lifestyle freedom (as I was only a couple of years ago) and wondering if it is only a dream. Having just returned from a trip to my father's “old Kentucky home” to lay him to rest, I feel thoughtful and reflective. Sadness is natural and expected when a loved one goes on before us. The sense of gratitude that shines through the grief is an unexpected gift, however. I am delighting in it! I am grateful for the lifestyle freedom I now enjoy. The past two years […]

Hi All, Here is this entrepreneur's expression of gratitude for lifestyle freedom and “coming out of the dark.” Here in the Northeastern United States, we are lying under a quiet blanket of snow, about a foot and a half of it! It has been a very long and very dark winter for this encore career entrepreneur. Some of you may know that I lost my “baby brother,” my only sibling, on Thanksgiving Day. It was a struggle to focus on anything, particularly anything creative, during the months after Mike's death. I'm sure that many of you wondered about the silence […]

Hey there, my friends ~ Mindset is everything! Entrepreneurs have either a wealth mindset, in which case nothing will prevent them from accumulating wealth as long as they do their best to do so; or a scarcity mindset, in which case almost nothing will help them to accumulate wealth no matter what they do. For all those who suspect that they have a poverty mindset picked up by osmosis from their parents or grandparents, I recommend “Think And Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill for a mindset tune up. It really isn't about working and slaving, it's more about believing it […]

Hey there, Today is a day that we honor fathers, so my mind naturally wanders to thinking about fathers and entrepreneurs (because, being one, my mind naturally wanders to entrepreneurship every day). Happy Fathers Day to all of the fathers, fathers to be, and father figures as well! May you be honored today by those you love. What is similar about entrepreneurs and fathers, you ask? At the most basic level, both are creators! Fathers dream of being fathers, sow their seed and, if their act is intentional, they watch over and protect their child (and ideally the mother of […]

Hello all, You've heard of moving on to Plan B, right? Well, the past few days, I've “one upped” myself and moved right on past Plan B and Plan C to the mystery of Plan D! Go ahead! You can chuckle under your breath or “Laugh Out Loud” if you must. I get it! In fact, if I were the reader instead of the writer, I probably would too. The thing is, as an entrepreneur you are going to just have some days that happen like this too! There will be some days where Plan A, Plan B, and Plan […]
