  2. Citation of the week - "Look around your environment. Rather than seeing items as objects, see them as magnets for your attention. Each object gently pulls a certain amount of your attention toward it. Whenever you discard something, the tug of that object is released. You get some attention back." James Clear

  4. Check (clarify) your Reality - (Ask yourself hard questions.) You're an idea genius. Do you have 100 tabs open?

Now, let’s sweep the brain…

Contemplation - Foundation: Practice becomes a habit.

Foundation: Practice becomes habit.

You have to have a foundation.

A practice.

When times get challenging, do you throw your hands up and say, "I don't know what to do?"

That is taking the easy road. Instead, use self-responsibility to develop a practice that works for you.

When you create a practice, the practice becomes a habit, and that habit becomes your foundation to success.

Ready to build YOUR foundation?

2. Citation.

Do you know what your time is worth?

Are you creating boundaries around your time?

Time is money - You've heard it a thousand times, and as many times as you've heard it, you've ignored it.

Spending time or investing time is a CHOICE. You can:

  • Spend time watching tv OR invest time in reading a book

  • Spend time reading emails OR invest time writing or preparing

  • Spend time scrolling social media - invest time learning social selling

It's not time management.

It's time allocation.

Need support?

F.I.R.E Week One: Foundation of Strategy.

3. Conversation Consideration.

For the next FOUR weeks, I will share my FOUR pillar approach to pick, prioritize and execute a profitable idea.

🔥It's called F.I.R.E.

Your GIFT as an entrepreneur is that you are an idea generator. My gift is that I can help you choose the ideas that make your soul sing and help you prioritize your way to bringing them from concept to accomplishment.

🔥Together we'll create a solid Foundation of Strategy

🔥Dive into the Insight and the struggle to see it for ourselves.

🔥Bring together the Resources to start building your FIRE TOOLBOX

🔥And underscore the importance of Execution and what we learn.

Step one is that you need a solid FOUNDATION of STRATEGY.

There is a strategy for building a good fire. Here is where we gather the components of a solid fire and start to layout the kindling. Grab these pieces to begin your building process.

🔥Goal Alignment - It creates an overflowing plate when everything is deemed necessary. If you don't have a clear definition from the beginning, it becomes challenging for you to determine what you should be working on and WHY.

  • Why is your idea something you should pursue for your business?

  • How can you charge for the idea to make it worth your time?

  • Does this idea align with your values?

🔥Taking small actionable steps in the right direction - Take the time to break a significant goal into smaller actionable steps and work on them daily. You can | INSERT YOUR GOAL HERE | and create a habit that becomes automatic. It would be best to plan for success as much as you plan for the weekend.

And my favorite piece of starting your fire?

🔥Your girl, Jamie. It's my gift. It comes naturally to me, and my experience supports my knowledge. I'm able to ask you hard questions and see the bigger picture. I can discern an idea from several points of view, such as making sure it aligns with your values or discussing expenses and profit and loss statements. I can support you to break goals down into smaller actionable steps and hold you accountable for getting shit done.

Ready to get strategic? Let's connect!

Check (clarify) your Reality - (Ask yourself hard questions.) You're an idea genius. Do you have 100 tabs open?

4. Check your reality.

I have a gift. I can see inside your brain and know that:

  • You have 100 tabs open on a browser.

  • You also have 100 tabs open in your brain.

  • And you either try to remember them all, OR they are all spread out on little papers or miscellaneous notebooks everywhere.

This example reflects what's happening inside your head, and it is draining SO. MUCH. ENERGY.

You have so many thoughts to choose from that you don't know where to start.

You freeze. And you don't take action.

But you need the energy to execute them.

Does this thought still make you still feel frozen?

  • Which one is the right one?

  • Is it a good idea to start that now?

  • How do I KNOW it will be profitable?

  • What if I fail?

OR - Do you think you don't have any GOOD ideas?

P.S. You're wrong. YOU DO!

I'm here to tell you that your ideas are fascinating, profitable, and genius. They are opportunities to stretch yourself, grow your passion, and increase revenue for your business.

As an entrepreneur, your genius is NOT to THINK like a CEO or a Controller, or even worse...an accountant!

Your GIFT is to generate ideas - and have the ego to think your "crazy" ideas will work.

And then do.

READY to execute them?

Catalyst for Change, Jamie Chapman.

I value getting to know the whole person as a business owner and taking a holistic, human view of their needs. I meet you where you’re at and support you in getting to where you want to go.


I love watching small business owners thrive and feel proud of what they’re building.


Founder and Owner of Chickbook Creative, I’ve gained years of career experience in systems, processes, accountability, leadership, and project management. I bring a multi-faceted approach to problem-solving and extensive knowledge of executive functioning, habit formation, and the neurodiverse and ADHD entrepreneur’s mind.


I see and understand the ADHD entrepreneur brain at work, and I'm passionate about supporting neurodivergent business owners in a way that lets them shine their light and bring their gifts to the world for all to see (and pay them for!).
