Managing Terror or Fear

Next week, I will finally open the doors to the 5Cs Community and invite the first 100 founding members!!!!!  Yes, I am excited.  Strangely enough, I have no terror or fear. Not of losing the sizeable investment in funds and time I have put into it. Nor am I fussing about whether this is the

So Much to Be Grateful For

It was Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada a week ago. We have so much to be grateful for, don’t we? On Sunday, I received a note from a friend I hadn’t seen in over ten years. He was fundraising for a cause close to his heart. See, his son was born with a rare liver

A Plan, A Goal, A Vision, A Why. What???

As a business owner, you are bombarded with aggressive, strong and ‘manly’ messages. You have heard all of them. “You gotta have a Plan.” “Push to your Goal.” “Stay focussed on your Vision.” Articulate your Why.” Honestly, it’s enough to make your head spin, isn’t it? I’d like to tell you why most of this

Commitment. Obsession. Perfection. Excellence.

Check out this quote about commitment! “Too often, commitment was measured by how many hours you were willing to work.
