My Story

I spent over 40 years in corporate America. What I loved most? Learning. Growing. Figuring out how to do more with less.

What I hated? Impossible expectations. The endless pressure to deliver perfection while juggling a hundred competing priorities. The guilt of never being "enough."

That's when I started asking different questions: What if I stopped fighting reality? What if there was a smarter way to meet my deadlines without sacrificing the rest of my life?

That journey led me here.

I'm not going to hard sell you on my book. Mentoring is available whether you buy it or not. Of course, understanding the basic principles makes the work easier. But that's not what I'm about.

I want to see you achieve your goals and succeed in your life. Because here's the truth: why bother if the journey isn't great?

Let's build something sustainable together.

About Sheila Merrill

Hi, I'm Sheila.

I spent years chasing 110%. The perfect productivity system. The perfect schedule. The perfect life. It didn't work. It burned me out.

Then I realized something: you don't need 110% to succeed. You need about 70%.

I built The 70% Life Philosophy to help busy adults stop fighting reality and start working with it. It's a framework designed for people drowning in interruptions, workplace stress, and endless to-do lists—not for influencers with perfect lives.

My book, Achieve Your Goals Without Burning Out, teaches you how to set meaningful goals, break them into simple steps, and make progress without sacrificing your health, happiness, or sanity.

I'm here to help you build a life and career you actually love.
