I am a big believer in organization giving me an energy boost to accomplish big clean bold work just as Mary Pankiewicz, Owner of Clutter Free &#38; Organized says in her blog!

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
This year at Big Fish, we launched our Star Fish program. We set out with a vision and the program grew in a way that was not really expected. We had one participant, whose story I would like to share (with her permission).
First, let me tell you how we met… I always DVR Oprah shows. [...]]]></description>

Summer can be a tough time to make progress on our goals.

 
Summer vacations mean we are often travelling, schedules are inconsistent, and our attention is more naturally focused on things other than goals.   Don’t get me wrong – it is definitely important (critical!) to take these breaks… but we still must remember  to return to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding Less “Solo” in “Solopreneur”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
****************
(post by guest-blogger Starla J. King, Big Fish 2009-10)
I usually love being a solopreneur.    
Except for those times when the solo feels more like alone and less like independent, strong, on my own, and free.
I’m in one of those times right now.   After longing  for more alone time to focus on the work of my [...]]]></description>

In last week’s blog post, I talked about our move to San Diego, and the importance of asking for help during all phases of the move.

Well, we made it from Austin, TX to San Diego by car while our moving truck had our ‘stuff’ &#8212; I was realizing how little ‘stuff’ we really need in life. If that truck never showed up, it would have been fine. And I am glad it did!

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!

[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 might seem counter-intuitive to [...]]]></description>
