The Secret O.W.L. Society

Plan your week with OWL's first free printable!

Achieving goals is a combination of making things happen and letting things happen. Sometimes we don't know how we're going to accomplish something simply because we haven't yet come across the right resources, answers, connections, or whatever we need to know what the next step looks like. That's why it's vital to at least have an idea of the end result you want - even if it's just a baby result like, "Get Facebook plug-in installed on my blog."
Setting your intention is like setting a low-pressure goal - you're just identifying exactly what you want to see happen and instead of hashing out step 1, step 2, step 3, etc, you're just putting the goal out there because you know that the means to achieve it will crop up soon enough.

About my newest blog

I had an epiphany this morning. I wanted to start a blog that shows the behind the scenes activity on what I do day to day as an entrepreneur. This is something I've wanted for myself - to take a peek at the nitty-gritty, day to day journey of entrepreneurs that I look up to and try to model myself after.

What does designing a successful life look like? I hope this blog answers that question for people on the most basic, helpful level possible. And no doubt it'll give me an extra push to be more productive as well. ;)

Less to Organize

Organizing can take the place of spending time on things more important - like business and relationships - because when you're organizing a lot of stuff, you feel like you're getting something done...but you're kidding yourself.
Having less to organize means you're ready to take care of business more quickly.
If you can't get the same work done sitting in a coffee shop somewhere any where in the world as you can get done sitting at your home office, then how free of an entrepreneur are you?
