The Sweetness of Simplicity: Lessons from Maple Syrup and Wine
Sometimes, the simplest things can teach us the most profound lessons. During a recent trip to Wisconsin, I had the chance to visit both a maple syrup farm and a winery. While these experiences may seem unrelated at first, they both illustrated the power of simplicity—whether in life, business, or even health. A Lesson in… Continue reading The Sweetness of Simplicity: Lessons from Maple Syrup and Wine

Hey there, friends! It's been a little while since I’ve sat down to write, but something special is brewing over here at Grounded With Data, and I just had to share it with you.

Importance of Setting Goals

Are you living your Bermuda lifestyle?
Two things have inspired me to adjust my work from home lifestyle. First, my new puppy, Eva, has taken a liking to our old above-ground pool. After we go for our morning, afternoon, and evening walks, we come home and she goes straight for that pool.

People are wondering if a meeting needed to have been a video chat. Or could it have been a phone call?
Lessons from my Third Evo Planner
As you may recall, I’ve gone back and reflected on my Lessons Learned from my First and Second Evo Planners (which usually is about three months worth of lessons) hoping that if I picked up something along the way that you might learn from it, too. Well, my third evo planner was actually in the Fall.
