Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs! Do this, don't do that, can't you read the signs?

Over the years I have been given some great advice from a number of teachers, mentors, friends, and a few joint venture business partners I was working with at the time. Every bit of advice made sense, had great logic to it, but many times was also conflicting with other advice I had gotten. Here are a few examples:

*You don't want to put a product or service out there that is incomplete (customers or clients will view you as incompetent and word of mouth can kill your business) vs. Don't worry about having it all perfect, just do it (Having your content at 80% is good enough to make your move.)

*Offer complimentary consultations (you are missing out on reaching potential clients) vs. Don't offer complimentary services (you are de-valuing yourself.)

*You must be connected to every social media platform available to successfully build your business (gain as much exposure as you possibly can) vs. Don't spread yourself too thin by trying to do it all, or be all to everyone, just focus on a handful of social media outlets that will effectively grow your business.)

As you can see it can all be rather confusing and contradictory. Of course you have to take time, place and context into consideration. What may have been horrible advice a year ago may be exactly what you need to hear and act upon today!

Ultimately what it boils down to is YOU have to decide for yourself and for your business what is right for you to move forward, gain exposure and sell your products and services at this moment. You have to READ THE SIGNS that your mind and body are providing and follow that guidance. These are the most important signs you should be reading! These are signals or indications that you get when you think about taking action in a certain direction. Pay attention to those signals, they could be warnings or precursors to which course you should or should not take.

Happy travels my friend!

AHA's Are the Orgasms of Life Coaching!

Nothing is more satisfying than reaching, well, you know, that point of no return. That moment where everything changes. That point of ecstasy, that feeing of elation! It's that moment when you can see it in the face of this person you have just been spending such intimate, private time together. You can see the physical changes in their body and as a look of wonder and amazement takes over  their face, they yell out in extreme liberation and release all that has been pent up inside for days, or months or decades!

Yes, AHA moments are the orgasms of Life Coaching! Nothing is more satisfying to see (or in some cases if you are having "phone coaching") hearing a client say "Oh my God! I've never thought of it that way!" As a coach, this is where I could roll over and go to sleep. Another satisfied customer! 

In most instances the client, as well as the coach, are physically exhausted from the hard, personal work they have been doing together. And in some cases, the "orgasm" of having been coached may not arrive until hours or days later, when the client is all alone. And that's OK!


This morning, for instance, I received an email from a client that told me the AHA's just kept coming and coming! Well, there is nothing wrong with having multiple AHA's! As a matter of fact, enjoy them!

Yes, AHA's ARE the orgasms of Life Coaching! So if you happen to see me out at a Starbucks coaching a client, and you can just about see the light bulbs glowing above their head, feel free to say "I'll have what she's having!"

 I'd love to help get you there. ;-)
