Some days, when the going gets tough and I can’t seem to get going, I tell the awesome in my preneur to shut up long enough for me to cry over my student loan statements and drink a box of wine. On special occasions, I visit the Museum of Conceptual Art’s website and type in my [...]
Yes, I’m a few tips behind. I own it. I had to give myself permission to break my own rules this week so I could take care of my clients and myself. But I used my blog-cation to do some serious awesomepreneurial reflection and I’m ready to dive back into the 365 Awesome Tips For [...]
It seems like every other week I’m begging my awesome friend Kassi Grunder to start a blog. Girlfriend does it all–she’s a mouth-watering vegan chef/steadfast defender of social justice/fearless world traveler/hot guy savante/joy-spreading positive thinker and all around great gal. (Basically, I’m in love with her.) But Kassi’s too busy living in the moment (and [...]
Alright, this is a short one, folks. I’ve got my head down to finish a deadline. (Or is it because I’m softly weeping? Guess you’ll never know.) I know, I know–I’m getting a lil’ too old for Dane Cook. But this little gem always gets me. It wasn’t until I watched this clip with several [...]
Enough about me. Let’s talk about you. What’s your story? Fiiiiiiiine. I’ll go first. In January, my dear friend Raquel and I, along with 500+ heartists/awesomepreneurs from across the world, experienced the transformative power of storytelling at the 2do Encuentro Latinoamericano de Teatro del Oprimido (the Second Latin American Reunion of the Theatre of the [...]
Though Awesomepreneur is still taking her first steps, this ain’t my first time at the eRodeo. My road to awesomepreneurship began with my heartwork at RKA in LA, my blog on living with heart in Latin America (which is taking an itty bitty coffee break while I visit my sweetheart in Germany). I return to [...]
Awesomepreneur confession: I am afraid. Popular philosophy says fear is a bad thing, mostly because it is such a hungry little monster it can consume your whole life if you let it. I know. Because I am afraid. This morning I had a heart-to-heart with a fellow awesomepreneur, Javier, a foreign language teacher living in [...]
Wow! Is RKA ink two weeks old already? She’s growing so fast–getting bigger and better every single day while I fix her final blemishes, trying hard to be kind and gentle with myself in the process. (Noblogy’s perfect. Awesomepreneurs know this best of all.) To celebrate my first (itty bitty) blogoversary, I have wrapped up [...]
A little over a month ago, I received this email from a fellow Masterminder/strengths ambassador. After we finished Brent O’Bannon’s Strengths Mastermind Program, we made an eDeal to trade talents and support each others’ businesses but I was slacking on my side of the bargain, using my “busy” schedule as an excuse. This message, which [...]
Despite proudly identifying as an awesomepreneur, I’ve admitted before that I’m not so awesome at work/life balance. While re-designing RKA ink, I basically lived on the Internet and my boyfriend was ready to stage an intervention when he repeatedly found me spooning my laptop at 3 AM, murmuring sweet CSS in my sleep. (On a [...]
