It's the halfway point of 2017!
How are your goals coming? Are you halfway through your goals? Or can you see how you're building momentum and will be there soon?
Or, are you realizing that you're NOT halfway to your goals?
Today we're going to talk about what to do about the goals you haven't reached and how to reset your goals and process, so you can get where you wanna go by the end of the year.

How do you get people excited about what you're offering? Do a launch! In this episode I'll walk you through the process of launching anything in your business – a new product, service, design, or whatever it is you sell! We'll also talk about why it's important to officially launch something, rather than just listing it and doing your regular marketing.

Each year on my birthday, I look back at the past year, and at past birthdays, and try to make sense of it all. So today I'm going to share the big lessons of this last year, and well, the last 35 years.
I have written online about my birthday for the last 8 years – this will be the ninth!

What I’m Reading: June 2017
I follow my enthusiasm by reading…a lot. And once a month, I share (some of) the books I read last month and the books I intend to read this month. You can join the informal book club by sharing your own list with me on Facebook and find all the posts here.
(The usual disclaimer applies.)
What I read
- Tools of Titans by Tim Feriss – SUPER big compendium of advice from a million awesome people. I learned a lot and rededicated to some of my best habits.
- Essential Oils Every Day, by Hope Gillerman – my new fave book for creating essential oil routines!
- More than This, by Patrick Ness – fun sci-fi thriller. I wanna read everything by this guy now.
- Six Four, by Hideo Yokoyama – Japanese thriller, fun, but a really different pace than American novels.
- Agent to the Stars, by John Scalzi – super funny, weird almost-not-sci fi. I love anything by John Scalzi
- The End of All Things, by John Scalzi – much more nerdy sci fi than Agent to the Stars and great.
What I’m reading
- Woman No. 17 by Edan Lepucki
- Mindsight by Daniel J. Siegel
- Into the Water, by Paula Hawkins
I need some more recommendations! Tell me on Twitter or Facebook!
Here’s to another great month of reading!
