Ages and ages ago, I saw a paper planner that really piqued my curiosity – I believe it was on Gala Darling‘s site. And then, I promptly forgot about it for a few years until I started wondering the other day if they were still in business, as I looked at planning tools for 2014…and […]
You know how sometimes, you put off doing something that you know you need to do, or that you know is a really effing good idea? And you do that for ages, even though you know once you actually sit down and do it you’ll be kicking yourself for not doing it? That’s pretty much […]
The last few months have been a bit rough over here at Chez Bombchelle. (Hence the radio silence here at the blog.) Nothing major – well, sometimes major, but nothing life threatening – and part of the bumpiness is that I was continuing to operate in systems that weren’t really a good fit, which led […]
The word “accountability” gets thrown around a lot in business & productivity circles. It’s a pretty big buzzword & y’all know I love to hate on some buzzwords, but at the same time, I can understand why it gets tossed around more than blame in a roomful of politicians – it’s actually a really crucial […]
Like a lot of people, I’ve had a rough time transitioning back from the holidays into 2013, resulting in some tumbleweeds here about these parts – so when my buddy Liz offered to write a guest post I said “ohmygodpleaseyes”. Here it is, y’all! Hi, I’m Liz. I work a full-time “corporate” job, and have […]
We’ve talked about why you’re not too busy, and how to overcome SOGOTP syndrome; this week we’re going to dive a bit more into overwhelm and how to banish it from your business once and for all. Yes, overwhelm. That creeping, nagging, did-all-the-oxygen-just-leave-this-room? feeling that lurks at the back of your mind. Or at the […]
Recall the post earlier this month, about the difference between ambition and a pipe dream? I mentioned SOGOTP syndrome (that’d be “shit or get off the pot”) – that thing we do sometimes where we talk about an idea, potentially an amazing idea (our eyes light up when they talk about it, our enthusiasm is infectious) […]
There is one phrase that, every time I hear it, I silently gnash my teeth and/or make a face (depending on where this conversation is taking place). You’ve probably already guessed what it is based on the post title, right? “I’m just too busy.” “I really want to work on this project but I’m just […]
I was trying to figure out what it is that makes some people and their dreams magnetic. You know how it is – some people, they talk and you’re watching them speak about this vision they have, and you can feel the power behind what they’re saying. You think to yourself “This person is going […]
This is a question I get a lot – and for good reason. Most people get their businesses started going as a side gig, so they have to manage their time & energy for their “day job” and their business at the same time, without letting either suffer; and if you’re running a service based […]
