How did I ever get along without a … 4 people you can’t live without as a Successful Self-employed Person

Remember, for some of us, when we couldn’t imagine why anyone would need a microwave oven, an email address, laptop computer or a smart phone. Now, we can’t imagine living without them. As a person in business for myself, I’ve attempted for years to do things by myself, because I believed I couldn’t afford to hire people to do it for me. Now, I can’t afford not to hire people to do it for me. You probably think that I now have money that I didn’t have before, and that’s how I can afford to hire support. That’s not it

Four Basic Questions for Sidestepping Writer’s Block

I’m surprised that people are requesting from me coaching around writer’s block. However, when I consider that over six years, I’ve written a couple of children’s stories, five books “ with the sixth on the way, plus hundreds of blogs, I realize that I guess I know a bit about writing and something about sidestepping writer’s block. Of course, as a coach, I have a few questions for you that I believe will assist in shifting from blocked to feeling the flow and going with it. 1.) Why Write? Any creative endeavor wants to be respected as just that. If

When is an Act of Love Not an Act of Love

When is an act of love not an act of love? Its when that act is attached to personal gain. I love my friend Harry. In this moment, I want to stop him from doing something very foolish and could be life-threatening. Yet, what I’m experiencing isn’t founded on love. It’s found on a need to gain control and to experience self-righteousness regarding my assumption that Harry doesn’t know better than to choose what he’s about to choose, and that I know better than him. I question my motives in this moment and find myself wanting. The question is:

Consider Engaging in an Act of Kindness

Consider, for a moment, engaging in an act of kindness. I word this request in this particular way in order for you to get how huge an endeavor it is. It is not just a matter of doing. An act of kindness, or any act, for that matter, comes from a state of being. So, to consider, brings you into the moment where you begin to mindfully engage in cultivating awareness of the state of being, which allows an act kindness can unfold. Where does an act of kindness begin? Maybe it would be helpful to begin by looking

Do What You Hate

I’ve been working on bookkeeping for taxes, cleaning up errors in my books, creating the content of my current coach training “ in summary, attending to nit-picky stuff. I hate attending to anything where a high degree of attention to detail is required. I’d rather hire someone else to do it for me “ pay them thousands of dollars so that I can avoid the angst and vulnerability that arise through doing what’s required as a solo-preneur. When working with clients and students, I love attending to details; otherwise I HATE IT! There are a lot of things I

Immersion Before Emergence

As a teacher, facilitator and coach, I encourage my students to immerse themselves in a self-study program that allows them to fully realize who they are “ that their security, stability and function in the world has nothing to do with what they believe to be true “ only what they know to be true. The only way to know who you are is to dismantle your current belief system, to individuate and to differentiate yourself from everything you think yourself to be, do and have. You have to experience the truth to realize the truth. And, you have

Generating Momentum – The Art of Tending Fire

Without a doubt, what we want most for ourselves as coaches and for those we serve, is that we generate momentum towards manifesting our highest purpose and desire. Clients of mine, whose desire it is to have a thriving business, find it challenging to get out of their own way. Many of them are budding coaches who are passionate about their work, yet carry lifetimes of patterning that continually reminds them of how failure met them at every turn. Repeatedly, dreams of achievements are dashed, and they are left to their own undoing. Inevitably, the patterns of lifetimes ending in

Transformational Coaching, The Essential Self and the True Self

The "Essential Self" is the current condition of centuries (life times) of evolution of the individual Soul. Authentic, unrestrained, unconditional, and unfiltered expression of our this true self in each and every moment is critical to the un-concealing of and alignment with our "Essential Self." Transformational coaching not only cultivates awareness of the Essential Self it also has a listening that reveals this Self in a way that elevates its significance to primary. When an individual begins to tap into their Essential Self, they are inspired to uncover more and more as the quality of experience that arises from authentic

Be the Invitation

We are all about the paradigm shifts. And in this new paradigm, we no longer think in terms of competition, marketing strategies and selling yourself. These terms are fast becoming bankrupt concepts that in the past had you think of yourself and your services as a commodity. We are beginning to realize that being a success with your business or practice is more about building relationships than it is about selling or marketing. As an individual in the process of developing yourself and your skill set, consider being an invitation “ inviting people into your life in such a way
