“Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose” sung by Janis Joplin. It struck me as funny that this song came to mind this week. (Interesting note…“Me and Bobby McGee” is a song written by American singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson and originally performed by Roger Miller.) And of course when you’re all about being free …
This week I feel like a bit nostalgic and I have been thinking a lot about mindset. I’ve written a lot about it and teach it in my Freedom Bootcamp for Entrepreneurs. This is a story from a long time ago but I think it survives the test of time and will seem relevant to …

It’s always interesting when I go through my week and the Universe sends me messages. This week’s message was clearly about systems and habits and keeping business running.

This week I had the great opportunity to be interviewed about freedom by my dear friend Angi King.
