Read MoreYou know how when you express love for someone, sometimes it is so intense that you tear up. You say “I love you, man” and your eyes start watering like a baby. I noticed that sometimes when coaching I have the thought to say something […]
Read MoreImagine you are high up in the sky, looking down at somebody walking in a field. The person is moving in ridiculously haphazard directions. Stopping. Starting. Turning left right. Turning around. Repeating. They are not going in a straight line. They are not finishing anything. […]
Read MoreOne of the ways I’ve learned to create success in business is by actively helping people – to provide some product or service – before they ever pay anything or become a client/customer. In countless industries, both in my own businesses and those of my […]

Read MoreMy coach Rich posted an update on Facebook last year about how Yoda was wrong. He was saying that by denouncing ’trying’, he underestimated the power of the willingness to TRY.

Read MoreOne practice I’ve developed is blocking out time to have meetings with myself. No distractions, no iPhone or a book or anything. Just me a pen, paper and a coffee.
