'Why are you doing this? For fun, laughter, peace and joy.' Growing up, we used to answer with, 'for fun, laughter, peace and joy' if we didn't have any particular reason for doing something. Recently, when I meditate and journal about why I want to:
or pretty much any goal I'm working towards, it ultimately leads back to the same reason: For fun, laughter, peace and joy.
So yes, ultimately, I do what I do for fun, laughter, peace, and joy. There's so much wisdom in the simple basics. Returning to these simple basics and doing them well is becoming a central theme in my life lately. No need to overcomplicate. No need to waver and feel overwhelmed. Just keep your eye on the simple basics. And focus on doing these few simple basics well. Reader, why do you do what you do? Why do you want what you want in your business or career? In your finances? In your health? Or anything important in your life? Is it for fun, laughter, peace and joy too? Or something else? I'm a big fan of journaling as a tool to access your subconscious thoughts. So I'd recommend writing these down and allowing your thoughts and feelings about them to come through. Keep it to the simple basics - then focus on doing them better than everyone else. This is how you'll stand out and differentiate yourself among the sea of everyone else doing too much, too soon. Have a great week ahead. Sharon P.S. Want me to help you get back to the simple basics and execute on them consistently in your career?

But then, I realized that the gap between where I am and where I wanted to be isn't failure. It's feedback. In my latest podcast episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what 2025 actually looked like: 5 Unglamorous Lessons from Building a Business While Working Full-Time: 1. It takes WAY longer...
Reader, It's December 31st, and I just reviewed my 2025. Honestly? I didn't hit most of my goals: Revenue target? Nope. Client goals? Fell short. Growth I wanted? Not there yet. And for a moment, I felt disappointed. Like I'd failed somehow. But then, while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop this week, I had a realization: If I were already the sort of person who gets those results, I'd already have them. So the question isn't 'Why did I fail?' The question is: "Who do I need to become?"...
Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock. My first instinct was to call the locksmith. But something I read recently stopped me. If you're on Justin Welsh's Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, you might have seen his recent story about replacing a special lightbulb in his water filtration system.
