Evolving Your Namesake

I fell off for a bit. I got caught up in the perfectionist loop and thought I needed to be “smarter” about how to upkeep these musings. I waited until my site…

Is My *X* Factor Enough

Here’s the thing…we know when we are in alignment, and we know when we are not. Confusion is a way to deflect responsibility for taking ownership of the brand, business, and life…
