To leverage and optimize your business, your business
should first be tied to what you are passionate about.
Your target market should also be passionate about what you are selling.
Tip: People use to tell me that 'The money's in the list'.
Well, that was a half-truth. The real truth is that 'The money's in the bonded responsive list'.
Your prospects/customers (your list) is your overall biggest business asset. Your list has a value just like your house, car, or your bank account.
You are ...Read the rest of this entry »

The willingness to make mistakes is probably the single most freeing decision you can make. When you allow yourself to make mistakes, you free yourself from all constraints of seeking perfection and you open yourself up to all kinds of opportunities and possibilities. Life coaches work with clients to get them to take action without the need to be right or correct or perfect
Perfection is a limitation. Firstly because when you achieve perfection there is nowhere to go beyond that. Secondly you ...Read the rest of this entry »

Going back to the cell phone example, you may have felt frustrated and the receiver at the other end might have heard your instructions incorrectly, causing him/her to do something completely different from what you intended.
That's why one of the most important factors in the success of your coaching/ consulting business is the way that you communicate with people, particularly your proteges. For example, they may be working for your company or for another company, or they may even be working ...Read the rest of this entry »

Owners and executives must be leaders first and managers second. As leaders our task is first and
foremost to be about doing the right things, and the "seven deadly sins," should be on the top of
your list as leadership issues you are dealing with on a regular basis. Building a small business is
one of the most rewarding, but risky ventures one could possibly venture into. Most papers on small
business deal primarily with financing and risk management, which are only symptoms of the real ...Read the rest of this entry »

Having been a professional coach for over 16 years, and having
been in over a dozen coaching relationships as a client during
that time, I've had the opportunity to examine what makes
coaching so powerful and effective. It's my personal view that
one of the most beneficial tools that can enhance a client's
life is coaching distinctions. You can think of a coaching
distinction like a lens through which you look at life, and in
the process life shows up differently. For example, when my
mechanic, ...Read the rest of this entry »

"Circumstances are the rulers of the weak; they are but the
instruments of the wise." --Samuel Lover
One of the most common complaints of clients who want life
balance coaching is that their plate is fuller than full. From
professional to business owner to home maker, having a quality
life has become increasingly challenging. The demands of modern
life often leave some people feeling dragged out and inadequate
instead of personally empowered. Many people know intellectually
that they can't ...Read the rest of this entry »

If you can relate to Jimmy Buffet's song 'Fruit Cakes', in which
he sings we're all half baked this article could be for you!
Does your body tense up a little when you think of the holidays?
Is it difficult for you to believe that you came out of the
family you were raised in?
All my life, my father and I had a very difficult and distant
relationship. As an adult, we became estranged. When I was
seventeen years old my mom married my stepfather; he became an
important male figure in my life and ...Read the rest of this entry »

Do you have a plan to get from where you are to where you want
to be? Do you have all the skills you need to get that promotion
or that raise you want? Do you make time for the people who are
important to you? Are you excited about your future, or do you
just want to "stop the world so you can get off"?
The secret to having the life you desire is hidden in your daily
routine. As the saying goes, "if you keep doing what you've
always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten". In
