WITH INTENTION BLOG
Thought: This week, I had the chance to record the audio book of With Intention. We were in the studio for almost two full days. It was way more exhausting than I thought but it was a good exhaustion. My biggest learning through this eighteen-month book writing process – keep showing up and...
Thought: My wife, Michelle, was a school teacher before we had kids. She used to always talk about micro-movements, which is breaking things down to smaller chunks to complete it. It’s a powerful concept. My high school English teacher, Brother Joe, taught us a concept called Divide and...
Thought: I’ve had a couple meetings with clients lately where we’ve talked a lot about their vision for the future. I feel like the last couple years have put many of us, including me, in survival mode and not thinking enough about the future. It’s time to change that....
Thoughts: I’m very close to finishing my book – it’s gone to final editing! I’m very excited to get out in the wild and add value to the world (and, you!). I’ve learned a lot through this process. It was hard and fun at the same time. Much like running a marathon...

Quick Story: My 88 year-old mother-in-law made the news last week. She has dementia and is in a dementia-care facility. After “escaping” from her facility because of an unlocked door, she went missing for a few hours (she even made the news and had helicopters searching for her!). Two...
Idea: Self-awareness is the first step to understanding your potential and what’s possible. Do you know what your strengths are? How about your weaknesses? You and I have both and it’s important to know what they are. Maybe you need to step back a bit, be still, do some thinking and...
Thought: Situations happen. It’s our ability to respond in every circumstance that leads to an outcome. It doesn’t mean things will be easy. Focus on what you can control and influence.
Quote: “Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Our focus and energy needs to...
- A Thought – What if we’re all suffering from something called IDD – Intention Deficit Disorder? Let’s face it, we’re all busy. There have never been more distractions in the history of mankind. We live in a state of constant communication, notifications, text...
