Some of my favorite quotes

“Courage is not the absence of fear but the mastery of it.” (The absence of fear is stupidity)

“Momentum cures all ills.” (But it may also be the death of me)

“It takes more certainty than talent to be a leader.” (Hmmm, not sure what that says, but I still think it’s true)

“Whether you think you’re a winner or you think you’re a loser, you’re right.” (Enough said, yes?)

Take time for…

A friend
To try something new
…and something old
Remembering someone
Baking something
A surprise
A run
Taking the scenic route home
Playing outside
Making a gift — with your own two hands
A second helping
A second act
Yourself

Take the time now before the holiday juggling act begins.

Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History.*

Well-behaved women seldom make history.” *

A few ideas on women behaving badly:

  • Use your outside voice inside
  • Take the last serving
  • BE the unexpected
  • Say what you are really thinking
  • Let yourself be a bad mother for a day, or an hour, or a minute
  • Rock the boat!
  • Be shrill, be downright hysterical
  • Take the credit, take ALL of the credit, for a job well done
  • Think about yourself for a change

So GO AHEAD, make a little history today and tell us about it below.

What I Learned at Harvard Business School

Last spring I took a 3-week crash course in business at Harvard.

  • I learned that if I had gone to business school, I probably never would have gone into business.
  • I learned a few tricks, a new way to look at the numbers.
  • I came away with newfound appreciation for the skills of a really gifted professor.

But mostly I learned that business for profit is hard work, but BUSINESS WITH A PURPOSE CAN BE TRANSFORMATIVE.
