Thanks to Amy for this guest post. I’ve always identified with the saying that if you fail to plan you plan to fail. It’s resonated with me since I first dipped my toes in entrepreneurship. Unfortunately I’m abysmal at taking my own advice and didn’t make a plan when I started! But I quickly learned that without that plan, even if it’s just a loose one, you leave...
The 2011 Intention Intervention- Time to Bring the Awesome

So I'm not knocking any of those things, or the power that hope can have in a person’s life and their perceptions of the world. That doesn't mean I'm going to leave my livelihood up to those things.
