Results from Small Business & Private Practice Marketing Survey

by Michelle Barry Franco April 13, 2010 business planning

Jeez, I feel so lucky and warm inside from all of your responses to the nine question survey I put out there a few weeks ago. I had 35 really rich, engaged, fabulous responses. I think my favorite thing about this is that I didn’t offer anything in return for the time you all spent [...]

Radical Clarity: The Secret to Creating a Business You LOVE

by Michelle Barry Franco April 5, 2010 business planning

Picture this: You walk into your office and the phone rings. You think to yourself, “Ugh. I wonder who this will be…” You answer the phone (unsmiling, of course) and the person on the other end says, “Hi! Is this [your name]?” “Yes, it is.” You reply. “Oh, good! My friend, Resa, gave me your [...]

A Manifesto of True Clarity

by Michelle Barry Franco March 15, 2010 Clarity

Do you know why The Law of Attraction doesn’t work for many people? I do. It’s lack of Clarity. “The Secret” is Clarity. That’s the magic. It’s simple. And, if only it were so simple… Clarity is elusive. You think you have it one minute and it feels so good. It feels so right and [...]

Ideas on the Outside

by Michelle Barry Franco January 24, 2010 Contribution

I’ve been on writing retreat so I’m behind on my blog reading. There are certain blogs that just lift me up or make me think or add to my life and business in myriad ways, that I can feel it when I am away from them. It’s hard to keep track of ideas. Like 37Days, [...]

What Is the Most Expansive Option? Part 3 of Unintended 2010 Theme Series

by Michelle Barry Franco January 4, 2010 business planning

I didn’t intend to spend so much keyboard time exploring my 2010 theme. The thing is, I kept trying to think about/discover/land on my theme and it felt elusive. I couldn’t quite get there all the way. Until I’d start typing. I suppose that is consistent with the fact that I know what I think [...]

Opening to the Theme

by Michelle Barry Franco January 1, 2010 business planning

Things don’t always go the way I plan. Shocker. Yesterday was such a busy day (rode BART with Jim and the girls to San Francisco then a fabulous dinner with my Uncle and his Love) that I had scant windows for reflecting on my 2010 theme. It’s interesting to note what arrives when you really [...]

by Michelle Barry Franco December 24, 2009 business planning

The last month has been full of advice from various bloggers on how to properly set forth into 2010. Their arguments are good. The only problem is, they convince me of opposing approaches: A la Chris Brogan, I should “strike while the iron is hot”, whereas my friend, Nancy Jane Smith, makes an excellent case [...]
