Water is essential for life. 💦 . While I have

Water is essential for life. 💦
.
While I have heard of different studies recommending daily water intake based on things like weight and environment, I have settled on being satisfied with my water intake if my pee is colorless or very light yellow.
.
It’s just easier than reading yet another study or doing a calculation.
.
Few things are more refreshing on a hot June day than fresh water infused with 🍋 lemon 🥒 cucumber and ginger. (I love to add fresh 🍍 pineapple, but I don’t have any at the moment.)
.
Drinking cool fruit-infused water clears my head, refreshes my palette, and helps me take deep breaths. All of these things make me happier and healthier. It feels good.
.
It helps to put fruit and water in a clear glass pitcher, because, pretty to look at. The prettier it is, the more I drink!
.
How much water do you drink daily? What are your favorite fruits (and vegetables?) to infuse in water?
.

I'm no expert on human evolution, but I've learned

I'm no expert on human evolution, but I've learned that evolution is risky, even dangerous.
.
Evolution is the process of growing from a simple to a more complex form. In the field of entrepreneurship, this means evolving from a simple-minded entrepreneur (or "newbie") to a sophisticated business leader. This is a good thing. But it's risky.
.
It's also dangerous -- at least to the part of our brain that is designed to protect us from risky situations. If we listen, this "lizard brain" (thanks, Seth Godin), will sabotage us in order to "protect" us from the risks of entrepreneurship:
.
• failure
• uncertainty
• embarrassment
• doubt
• fear
• competition
• being "less than"
.
You must resist lizard brain. The risks of giving in to lizard brain are soul-stealing devastation of laziness, stagnation and a mundane life.
.
Evolution is heavy lifting, but the benefits are worth it.
.
1. Evolution forces you to be picky, which sharpens your ability to manage time well.
2. Evolution forces you to grow, which trains you to maximize your potential.
3. Evolution forces you to finish, which empowers you to live your legacy.
.
There have been times in my life where I have allowed lizard brain to get the best of me, but those times are fewer and further between than ever before these days.
.
Bring on the risk. Bring on the danger. I'm ready. How about you?!

It’s Friday! For me, that means extra time to play my new favorite board game, Qwirkle. I love it because of the colors, which always make things more fun. I also enjoy a challenge now and then that is not directly related to having a great vocabulary or being good with numbers.
.
I wonder if I can recruit the only other family member who is home with me this evening, to play it with me about a hundred times!? (You know who you are!)
.
Have you played Qwirkle? Do you love it? What is your favorite board game?

A beautiful morning to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the ocean before the Memorial Day weekend masses arrive. This is so soothing to me. I hope you can close your eyes, take a deep breath, and enjoy it. @marriottmyrtle

Did you know that your lifestyle can also be your

Did you know that your lifestyle can also be your business?
.
How amazing is it that you can define your life and lifestyle however you want, and then layer a complementary business on top of it?
.
I love seeing so many of my friends and colleagues doing this. Here are a few examples to inspire you:
.
@hennasooq, who lives a henna-infused lifestyle — and turned her love for it into a business making and selling henna products, hosting henna-focused events, and offering henna art services
.
@mcilwainspeedsystem, a former elite professional athlete who lives a fitness and health-focused lifestyle — and turned it into a business helping other athletes improve their techniques and results
.
@comemakewithme, for whom creating all kinds of things by hand from scratch is a lifestyle choice — and also a business teaching others how to create all kinds of things
.
@donnaderosa, who turned her Mediterranean lifestyle choice into a successful YouTube channel and a Mediterranean lifestyle cookbook
.
Everything is better when it’s shared, right?
.
How wonderful that your lifestyle can (and should) be whatever you want it to be, and that you can leverage it to create a business that helps you enjoy your lifestyle even more because you get to share it with others … and support yourself and your family in the process!!
.
In my experience, there is no better way to enjoy life, no better way to build your business, and no better way to live your legacy.
.
I hope the people mentioned in this post inspire you. Follow them to see what I mean!They come from all walks of life, and you can clearly see their lifestyle as a business.

What are your thoughts? 🧠 🤔 💭

I highly recommend the Seared Tuna Quinoa Salad: kale, orange segments, quinoa, pickled cucumbers, avocados, and miso ginger dressing.

For what I think may be the first time in modern h

For what I think may be the first time in modern history, people are choosing entrepreneurship more for lifestyle reasons than for financial ones.
.
Both matter of course. But in my retreats and mastermind conversations with women today, the ability to set your own sail, chart your own course, and adjust both on your terms is more of an incentive than the financial rewards of entrepreneurship.
.
When I quit my traditional job as an attorney more than two decades ago, I had not heard of a single person who had traded the “security” of a “good corporate job” for the “uncertainty” of business ownership.
.
Was I afraid of the unknown?
.
Yes.
.
But I was even more afraid of the lifestyle I would have if I was not free to live without the constraints that are typically present in a traditional work environment.
.
Today, there are so many options. I am personally happy to see women from all walks of life choose business as a lifestyle for the freedom and flexibility it brings — and also for the increased financial opportunities that manifest themselves so beautifully as a part of the process.
.
What about you?
.
Did you choose entrepreneurship more for lifestyle reasons than for financial ones? Or maybe some combination of the two? I’d love to hear some of your story in the comments!
.
It is so much fun to share, chat it out, and encourage one another!
