Guidance for Swimming Against the Stream
In waking up to whiteness, there are questions to answer and ideas to confront. Molly’s insights bring perspective and clarity.
What if you aren’t stuck?
A while back, one of the amazing citizens of Shaboom County started a thread in the Town Hall Forum about being stuck. Before responding, I went back and re-read her previous posts. And I didn't see evidence of stuckness. Instead, I saw post after post about the steps...
When setting goals doesn’t work and what to do about it
A few years ago I joined a cycling group so I could become a stronger, safer rider. For me that meant comfortably doing 5-15 mile rides tooling around Bainbridge Island without having to walk my bike up hills. From the very first ride I got my butt kicked, but good. I...
Creating success on and off the roller coaster
A few years back I had a recurring dream. I found myself on a long, high overpass, part of a complex system of roadways and bridges. As I drove, the pavement morphed into something like roller coaster tracks. The ups and downs became more and more pronounced, and the...
Prosperity Is an Inside Job (But Only Always)

How to get clients? (Show them the moon)
You are intelligent, intentional, and skilled--trust me, you are--yet you may sometimes struggle with how to get clients. As in last week's post, the key to getting clients lies in a distinction between purpose and destination. Last week I talked about the important...
Serving your purpose: You can’t get there, unless there’s a “there” there
Why is your business here? And forgive me for being cheeky, where do you think it's going? Because you can't get from here to there unless you know where "there" is. Purpose matters, a lot I love that you are in business for a purpose. Perhaps that purpose is to...
Don’t get me started about praise
There's a thing some Accidental Entrepreneurs do that makes me a teeny weeny bit crazy. They dodge praise. Or they take it in for a moment, then set it aside as an anomaly. You'd think there was a law against liking yourself, at least publicly. You may have noticed...
