Taking 2022 By The Horns
Out of the woodwork and just like clockwork, all of Propel’s “quiet holiday” clients have re-emerged this week ready to take 2022 by the horns. Everyone seems to be motivated to hit the ground running, which makes me wonder what the year will bring… As I’ve been catching-up with each of client and team member…
Keep Your Fork!
None of us ever know what lies ahead for us, our loved ones, our business, work, communities, or the world, that’s true. But one thing we can trust is there is more to life, more of life, more laughter, lessons, love, and challenges. There is more today and in the future. So, when the current…
Merry Christmas!
To you and yours, I and the entire Propel team wish you a very merry Christmas! If holidays are difficult for you, know that you are loved. Our people are all about people, which makes you a priority. May this season bring you joy like you’ve seldom or never known, and may the warmth of…
‘Tis the Season of Cozy
Maybe for you it is playing games with family, curling up with an oversized sweater and a good book, or sipping a hot beverage after a day on the slopes with friends. No matter what your idea of winter comfort includes, make sure your season of cozy is living up to your own hype. For…
I salute you, Entrepreneur!
Entrepreneurs!! You deserve more credit than you receive – guaranteed. You work all day, many nights, when you’re sick, and even when you want to play. When the world is off vacationing you’re still thinking, scheming, planning, building. I salute you! You deserve a break, some self-care, time to recharge and reset. Over the years…
Tagged: The PROPELLER
The Propel branding process was one of the most fun I’ve had creating something. When the word and name propel came to the surface and passed all the tests I didn’t know how many people would call me The Propeller for years to come… After a decade, in 2019, I finally went for it and…
Support Local this Small Business Saturday (& all season!)
If you haven’t noticed, there are pipeline delays this year. Major retailers are feeling the squeeze as shelves are less than fully stocked due to detained shipments and shortages in production. That’s why this year is the perfect year to seek out community businesses and artisans who aren’t relying on containers to arrive from overseas….
November 19th: Women Entrepreneurship Day
November 19th is the official day we celebrate females in the workforce and raise a toast to women entrepreneurs all over the world. Today I want to salute my fellow women in business, too. Happy Women Entrepreneurship Day! Spearheaded by the Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization in 2013 and geared toward raising awareness and support for…
A Veteran’s Day Salute To My Soldier
Thank you doesn’t begin to cover it. To all who have served, and are still out there defending our country – we wouldn’t be free without your sacrifice. This is my soldier about 20 years ago when he served in the Army. He says he was proud to be a part of a brotherhood, something…
Joe’s Geode Shop – My Interview with a Motivated 9-Year Old Entrepreneur
The story of a 9-year old entrepreneur caught my attention this summer. With his business savvy, incentivizing leadership, and friendly smile I was curious about where he came up with his ideas and company. Here’s my interview with and story of the motivated young man… It’s an interesting time to be in business. It’s an even…
The Power of Words
As my mama has always said, “words have the power of life or death.” It is true in your own personal life, relationships, business, marketing, and on and on. Have you ever heard the saying, ‘what you say is what you get’? Well, it’s true. Your words have the power to create… If you have…
Still Falling for Oregon
The Pacific Northwest has changed a bit over the last few years. So much unrest and uncertainty and other disappointing things. But no matter what happens, I’m still a native in love with this gorgeous land I call home. This is why I am still falling for Oregon… Fall ushers in crisp and foggy mornings,…
Investing in the Lives and Businesses of Others
Each week and each day that is spent well means more quality time has been invested in the lives and businesses of others. And each night when the work stops it’s time to reflect on the investment made, with whom, for what, to which effort. Are you bringing out the best in your team, clients,…
What Will You Do When Social Disappears?
Did you notice Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus (Zuckerberg’s babies) were all down for roughly 6 hours on Monday? I giggled profusely and sent a link with a gif to my brother, dad, friends, and even a few clients and team members. Truth be told, I didn’t want it to come back online, but I…
Even In A Storm
Today’s simple encouragement: Let your heart be as generous as clouds that are full of rain… …so that even in a storm those on the receiving end of your kindness will feel hope, and see the sun shine when things are overcast and uncertain. Be the change for someone else – and you will be…
Say No to Shortcuts
The Helen Keller quote, “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going,” is forefront in my mind today as I remember that diligent, motivated, and consistent work is the only way to reach a goal you can be proud of. And any goal worth having is worth every minute of work you invest. But…
The Psychology of Color
Could you imagine living in a world of black and white or shades of gray? How boring, right? We have color all around us and many times we don’t even know how different colors affect our mind or emotions, but they do! If you’ve ever heard of or dealt with SAD (seasonal affective disorder), you…
Fed Up With Uncertainty
That’s it. I’ve had enough. Enough of the stress and overwhelm and self-preservation. Enough of the self-soothing, over sleeping, mental fortitude requirements, and the unknown. It started March 2020 and it hasn’t stopped. The roller coaster of information, truth and science, and a society riddled in unrest and fear has kept me in a state…
“Help Wanted” – How to Find & Keep Employees
So many businesses I know are struggling to find workers right now. In the last 18 months we have fought together to survive a virus and the government has extended unemployment to the point that many are still not looking for work. That’s why it’s been so difficult to find and keep employees. Today, Friday,…
Do Gratitude: Thank you goes a long ways!
Clients, team members, partners, friends, and family – no matter what relationships you hold or how you interact with others, a sincere thank you always goes a long ways! This week I’m talking about gratitude, including a personal story, and a few ways you can apply yourself toward this goal. This week I’ve received thank…
