I’ve been updating my travel “wish list” with some of the locations I’ve always wanted to go to. Having a lifestyle business, its very motivating to me to know where I plan to travel next. I tend to keep a running list in my mind, especially when I run across a great article in Spa [...]


Marriott Desert Hot Springs ‘Get-Away’

Published on June 24, 2009

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to one of my favorites…The Marriott Desert Hot Springs Spa Resort in Palm Desert, California.
As a spa junkie, I love that this beautiful resort is very close to Los Angeles (in the “leer-cecedes” it only takes 90 minutes to get there.) Knowing that I desperately needed a little get [...]

Published on October 16, 2008

Today I heard four words that almost made me weep tears of joy.
We were having a bit of a challenge with some online technology. We have this fancy form that we are asking people to fill out in order to get a Jump Start session with one of my coaches. Hopefully by the time you [...]

Iberostar Paraisio Grand in Cancun for 5 Star Luxury

Published on June 1, 2008

Wow, this was one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed.
I’m not typically a big Mexico enthusiast. Not being a big partier and knowing that the water in Mexico is always a risk to Montezuma’s Revenge, I tend to keep to the Caribbean and Hawaii for my exotic vacations.
As luck would have it, as we [...]


A Guaranteed Formula to Lose Me as a Client

Published on May 8, 2008

For a few months now I’ve been musing over what’s happened at my chiropractor’s office. He has finally lost me as a client and I thought I’d capture the “lesson learned” so we all know exactly what to do if you want to chase clients away.
I should first say that I was an absolute raving [...]


Hawk Watching at The La Quinta Resort

Published on April 24, 2008

Sunday my partner and I decided to find some sunshine in Palm Springs, CA to work on our “vacation tans.” As we were driving out to the desert, we spontaneously migrated from our usual spot at the JW Marriott to La Quinta Resort.
La Quinta is a Waldorf-Astoria 5-star resort just past Palm Desert. It’s lay [...]


My new favorite spa retreat…Miramonte Spa & Resort

Published on April 17, 2008

This past weekend I conducted my first 2008 Platinum Elite Mastermind retreat in Palm Desert California at the Miramonte Spa & Resort. It’s a smaller boutique type resort but I have to say, it’s a big winner in my book! 

I decided to treat myself and come in two days early just so I could have some [...]


Ali and Melanie’s “Big Thinker” Leer Jet Adventure

Published on April 8, 2008

It’s Sunday, 4:30 pm CST and I’m in Nashville Tennessee. I’m about ready to leave a 4 day conference (which I’ll share with you separately) when my friend Kristi Frank (you probably know her best from The Apprentice) buzzes by saying, “Crap, my flight to LA got cancelled!) Hmmm….she was on an earlier flight than [...]


Lifestyle Choices That Can Make or Break You

Published on April 1, 2008

As entrepreneurs and business owners, we make a serious of choices every day that can make or break our success. As a business coach for many years now, I’ve learned that it’s often not even the big things that have the greatest impact… 
It’s the small, almost unconscious decisions we make that can influence the shape [...]
