Meet Erica
"Has it been awhile since you identified what's important to you? Do you know what makes your heart sing?"
In business and life, are you following your heart? Have you stopped to listen?
Fifteen years ago I survived a near-fatal car accident. At the time, my business consumed me—I was traveling too much, working long hours, and paying the price with my physical health. I figured I'd slow down "some day." Well, I did. The dramatic wake-up call of that car accident got my attention. I realized that LIFE IS TOO SHORT to wait for "some day." Each of us must clarify our unique definition of success then focus our energy on what's important. For me, that means spending time with the people I love, being outdoors, taking time to notice my breath, managing creative projects, and encouraging others to reconnect to their passion.
Success..it's in your nature™
I can help you get in touch with your passion...whether it's to write, revitalize your business, or reinvent yourself in midlife. I believe that every single person's unique brand of success resides within his or her nature—that when we each connect with our passion and get out of our own way, we will find we are living our unique definition of success.
Be courageous!
Whether you buy my book, attend a teleclass, or work with me in a coaching engagement, I encourage you to be courageous in the challenges you face. It takes courage to do your own inner work and be committed to your personal growth and development. Are you ready to begin a rewarding journey?
Please contact me. I look forward to traveling with you on your journey toward inner-directed success!
