Go Big or Go Home

In the world of reality television I am an avid follower of culinary and design competition shows with a side of Amazing Race. As I've been catching up on my recorded shows over the holiday break one phrase keeps coming up. Go Big or Go Home. On Cake Boss: The Next Great Baker that means creating a cake that exceeds the 36" height requirement and including pyrotechnics, but what does it mean to you and your business? As you kick off the new year and put your goals down on paper where can you "Go Big or Go Home"? I would love to hear what you come up with and I'll let you know where and how I apply this to Celebrate in 2011.

Happy New Year!

It's Never Too Late to Start Over

Where did the year go? One minute I was preparing for the holidays and the next thing I know it's the holidays again! In this whirlwind year I had a baby (Mir, born 1/1/10), expanded my role with a long time client (we are now the Chapter administrators for the Boston chapter of the International Facility Management Association--IFMA), continued to work with some of our favorite clients (Maugel Architects, Elaine Construction, Let's Eat, Inc., Spaceworks AI and Precision Marketing Group), and work out the kinks of being a mom of two busy boys and a boss of four amazing women! During that time I moved "blog post" around in my tickler file from week to week. I had brilliant thoughts as I drove down the road that I wanted to share. But I never quite made it to the actual post! I've kicked myself for this on a regular basis and decided today--"it is what it is, make light of it and move on!" So that's what I'm doing. And that is my tidbit for today. I'm sure there is something that you resolved to do last New Year that you were going to do better this year, or a brilliant thought you wanted to bring to fruition, or something that you used to do better that you want to do better again. It's not too late to start over! We are our own worse critics and if we can let it go, so can our peers.
