No matter where you are with your health, consider today your fresh start – even if you are already active and eat well, each of us can stand to “kick it up a notch.”  Today, you can begin a journey that has no destination; it is a journey of discovery and action – a healthy way to lose weight.

I spent most of my life being afraid—afraid of failure, afraid of success, afraid of what people might think, afraid of change, but also afraid of horror movies, rollercoasters, big cities, dark alleys, travel, and the boogey man. My mind could invent worst-case scenarios like Hollywood’s best screenwriter, and I’d watch those movies in my mind in such vivid detail that they felt real—and paralyzed me.

Something big is afoot. I’ve been saying it all year. The minute 2011 trumpeted its way in, I knew. I could just feel it. Change was in the air.

And I was not happy about it. 

So I crossed my arms and shook my head and said, “Sorry Change, go knock on someone else's door, I’m not having it,” and closed the door on Change to continue with my comfortable -- and safe -- little routine. Meanwhile, Change pitched a tent out in my front yard and taunted me from a distance. I would peer at it through the curtains,  but refused to engage it in any way -- and we danced around each other in this manner for quite awhile.

Then I made my mistake (which actually wasn’t a mistake at all). 

Please welcome the extraordinary Marie Forleo, kick-ass entrepreneur, marketing strategist, coach, and business woman, here to tell us how to live Rich, Happy, & Hot. Lissa and I both went nutso over this article on how to curb that mojo-killing business stress--enjoy (and take notes)! Thanks Marie!

Yesterday, I was on the phone with a game changer. She’s an author, speaker and long-time activist. She’s attracted high profile supporters to endorse her work, and is about to launch full tilt into a book promo tour.

She called to get my insight on business strategy. Specifically, she wanted ideas to help her organization make more money. So far, so good.

As she told me everything she had going on, a small knot began to form in my stomach. Why?

Because I recognized a deadly addiction in her, that I’ve seen in many entrepreneurs, including myself.

It’s the addiction to too many damn projects. And more specifically, the addiction to too many damn unfinished projects that aren’t making money.
