it started with a youtube video...


I am on the road Reader!

After a hectic July, Jim and I are finally getting out of town for a belated anniversary trip. One of my Conditions for Success is to have my work schedule match his, so that we can spend quality time together.

Right now, that means I'm off Mon & Tues for the foreseeable future.

Yep. Jim works weekends. But he's off early enough today that we're driving up to Seattle for a few days to take it all in. We've never been before, and it's always fun to road trip with my sweetie!

In truth, I enjoy just about every moment I get to spend with Jim, which is why it's so important to me to be available when he is home. Even if we're just sitting on the couch watching YouTube to unwind after a long day.

He is my person and I treasure every moment I get with him.

Speaking of YouTube videos...

The other night, Jim flipped over to a science channel with a video about how blood typing was discovered. The story ended up being the perfect opening to this week's blog post about why AI still needs human discernment to guide it - and how Zillow learned that lesson the hard way.

Weird. I know. I sometimes joke that my brain is wired to connect things in sets of three. Give me three random things and I can probably find a connection. That's why I'm "smarter than 95% of all Lisa's" that play Crossclimb or Pinpont on LinkedIn. 🙂 #Neurospicy

And other times, I'm lousy at coming up with a good segue.

Like now...

October 14-17, here in the Portland area, I'm hosting my very last Creative Freedom Retreat.

This transformational, full-immersion planning retreat is for executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want to translate their big vision into real results for their life and work.

You can't solve a problem you don't know exists. And this whole event is about helping you see the real landscape around you so that you can make the best decisions for your future... in life and work!

Plus, you'll be one of the first to experience the new One Move That Mattersâ„¢ approach and toolkit as we transition to the new direction for our company!

10 seats max. Installment plans are available. Basically, if you want to be in the room, let's find a way to get you here.

Until next time,

- Lisa

P.S. This is the only event I'm doing this year. If you want to be in the room and get my eyes on your business, get registered!

Heya Reader... About every 10 years my work evolves enough that it's time to move on to something new. I've been online entrepreneur for over 30 years. About 10 years in, I started coaching and consulting. First, I worked primarily with direct sales professionals. Then my work expanded into Creative Freedom, where I spent more than 10 years helping creative entrepreneurs build businesses that worked for how they were uniquely wired to work. While the book endures (and I'm planning an...

Heya Reader... Three years ago, I gave a TEDx talk called Enoughness and the Marginalization Tax. I still use the Enoughness Number exercise I talk about in that video at my retreat every year. I re-watched the video in preparation for the retreat and had an unsettling moment of clarity. You know, when you hear your past self say something and think: Oh. I was talking about something bigger than I realized. At the time, I was talking mostly about entrepreneurs. ...about the pressure to keep...

Well now it's September Reader! I'm in the final throes of preparation for our October retreat, and it's had me thinking more deeply about what's next.All things "Creative Freedom" are winding down as I step into the new chapter of my work. 30+ years in the online space, working with solopreneurs, creatives, and other micro-business owners has been a joy and an honor.AND... I'm also very excited for this new direction because it opens the doors to new possibilites. I now have space for things...
