I'm not a huge visionary.

So instead of the word 'vision,' I talk a lot about 'alignment.'

Aligning what you're doing...with who you are.

Or what you want to BE. Or what you want to HAVE.

So I want to call this out to you today: What do YOU want?

What outcome—personally and professionally—aligns with you who are and what you want out of life?

Because as my mentor Brian McRae likes to say,

"When 'what' becomes clear, the 'who' and the 'how' will appear."

That is, when you when you know what you want, and you align yourself with making it happen...
..the right people and the right opportunities will magically start to show up.

So my challenge for you today: Before you write another to-do list, take 15 minutes to define your "WHAT" for 2026. Get it on paper, feel the clarity, and start getting aligned.

What do you need to get clear on? Let me know! 👇

Know how you mow your lawn, and it looks perfect...but by the next morning, a pesky w**d has shot up out of nowhere?

It's the same in life and business.

The w**ds (self-doubt, procrastination, clunky processes, external obstacles, unchecked bad habits)...
..pop up faster and easier than the grass you're trying to grow (goals, momentum, scalability, profit).

Unlike grass, w**ds don't NEED help growing. They just thrive through neglect and avoidance.

So before you head into your next season, let's do a quick "w**d check."

1️⃣ Spot the w**ds:
- What thoughts are a constant drain?
- What unchecked habit is slowing your momentum?
- Example w**ds: "I'm not ready yet", compulsive doom-scrolling, ignoring clunky processes.

2️⃣ Go for the root:
- If you just cut the top off the w**d, it's still gonna come back. Try to identify the belief or fear under the behavior, or the primary cause of a secondary problem - that’s the root.
- If you can’t get the root right now? Pull what you can see, and just keep after it.

3️⃣ Tend to the grass:
- Don't forget to actively focus on what you want to grow.
- Are you neglecting the areas of your life that need intentional effort (grass seed)?
- Time to water and nurture those things.

Weeds aren't flaws. They're just things that need to be recognized, and tended to.

What's one w**d you need to pull, or one patch of grass you're finally going to start tending?

You know how it starts: "Oh, let me just do this real quick."

That's what went through my head earlier this week when I decided on an early morning session to cut down my clematis before garbage day...in my Adidas slides.

Well, that quick task landed me with a hurt knee.

But the real kicker? That knee pain caused me to walk differently, and a few days later, the pain migrated to my hip, and then my foot.

It created chaos everywhere else, forcing me to slow down, make extra appointments, and spend time treating something that could have been avoided.

And it also got me thinking:

How often do we jump into things in our business or life on a whim, only to create chaos in entirely different, unrelated areas?

So here's an Alignment Check-In for you:

- Where are you "limping" along right now?
- Where did the original "pain" start? (That quick fix, the favor you shouldn't have done, the project without a plan?)
- What secondary areas are now hurting? (Is a dip in sales causing stress at home? Is a bad process making you need extra support?)
- What extra time or resources are you spending because you're out of alignment? (Extra hours, wasted money, energy drain?)

I'm not saying we can't be spontaneous, but if YOU'RE out of alignment, ask yourself: If I had (or hadn't) done _______, would I be in this situation right now?

And then the follow-up question: What do I need to do to get back in alignment?

I'd love to hear your story. Have you ever had one quick action or decision cause chaos elsewhere?

Who here feels like they can get back to functioning now that the kids are back in school?

That's what a client told me recently. She felt like it was January 1st all over again.

It's SO easy to get out of momentum. You climb that big hill, you get to the top and get a glimpse of the amazing views you worked so hard to get...
..and then a gust of wind comes and you start sliiiiding back down the mountain.

🫠 "Oh, hang on. Kids are out of school."
🫠 "Oh, hang on. So-and-so quit their job."
🫠 "Oh, hang on. There's been a big change in the business."
🫠 And of course, a couple of years ago: "Oh, hang on. A pandemic."

Stuff happens. It's ALWAYS coming at us. The rest of the world is never going to wait just because you have stuff you wanna do.

I mention this because...

1) We have to figure out how to stay in momentum even when all these pattern interrupts are coming, and

2) Once a quarter I offer something called Momentum Reset, that helps you do exactly that.

That class is coming up very soon (September 10 - less than 2 weeks away!), so I want to make sure you don't miss out.

Because...you know how it is:

Life gets busy.

Something else becomes a bigger priority.

Later this week turns into next week, which turns into next month.

Then all of a sudden you're counting down to Christmas. (Hello? Right around the corner, isn't it?)

If you've been feeling this way, I hope you'll take a Momentum Reset with me! https://www.coachcornerstone.com/offers/fSdeBmLh/checkout

So...how do YOU keep climbing when gusty winds come your way?

“Every ACTION you take is a VOTE for the person you wish to become.”

- James Clear

I LOVE this quote! And on September 10th, I'm hosting a workshop specifically designed to ensure the ACTIONS you are taking are ALIGNED with who you want to be and what you want to accomplish!

Momentum Reset is an intentional pause that lets you:

💙Figure out (or get back to) your "why"
↗️Evaluate if you're moving toward or away from your goals
🧭Recalibrate your direction
💪Walk away with a foundation of actionable steps and sustainable habits so when life gets in the way, you can respond and still stay on track

I'd love to have you in the room! Even better...know a friend or coworker who could benefit from this type of reset? Bring them with you! It's always more fun TOGETHER!
