Are you Independent or Interdependent?
Tweet Happy Independence Day! I love watching the fireworks at this time of year, so full of beauty and surprise — and a great excuse to write about one of my favorite topics: independence vs. interdependence. As business owners, we tend to focus most on independence and everything that we are able to do [...]
Give energy to your goals
Tweet “Give energy to that which you want to grow” ~ Big Fish Principle #1 Goals are not just something to hang on our office wall to make us look good; they are something we actually want to give energy to in service of our business and our whole lives! If you have been working closely [...]
What is your 10-year vision?
Tweet Have you written down your Vision Story? If so, when was the last time you updated it? Having a clear vision is the key ingredient to a successful business and life. If we don’t know what we want our future to be, the plans we make are just something to keep us busy instead [...]
BOLD Actions Wild Card Challenge
Tweet “When you cannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced courses of action you should take — choose the bolder.” – William Joseph Slim Through last month’s challenge to revisit your goals, you have taken the time to review and revise your goals (you have, haven’t you?? If not, get help here)… so now [...]
The Business of Retreat
Tweet Guest post by Starla J.

What are your rejuvenation plans?
Tweet Some of the most difficult goals to commit to are the ones around rest and rejuvenation. Taking a break is a challenge for many people, and I think it is an especially difficult challenge for women entrepreneurs. We are used to working hard in our business for many hours each day, most days each week, then continuing [...]
Selfish or Self Care?
Tweet When is it that self care becomes selfish? And what is ok? As you might expect, Webster defines selfish as “concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself: seeking or concentrating on one’s own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.” Then look at Webster’s definition of self care: “care of the self without Medical or other professional consultation.” That [...]
Goals Guidance
Tweet Goal reviews don’t have to be painful (although I’m not sure this Big Fish cat agrees) . I know mid-year goal reviews might not seem as exciting as the beginning or end of year reviews (when we are setting exciting new goals or celebrating successes while preparing for a brand new year), so hopefully our [...]
Live Each Day From Your Vision
Tweet *********** Like others of you, I enjoyed and appreciated last week’s blog post on goals, written by our regular guest-blogger Starla J. King. We all need those reminders (or as Beth said in her comment, “a kick in the rear”) to review and reset our goals! It is also absolutely necessary to be clear [...]
Review and Reset: Real-life Goals Work
Tweet ************* [blog post by Starla J. King, Big Fish 2009-10] Ah, summertime! Long days of sunshine luring us to the water, summer vacations giving us an excuse to play hard and relax even harder, and all sorts of external activities encouraging us to step away from work for a while. Ice cream, anyone? While it [...]
