My mom and I, along with my boys, drove down to Southern California to visit Disneyland. I, therefore, had six hours in the passenger seat to try to figure out the best way to navigate the Alice-in-Wonderland-like mazes that define the innards of the park. I opened my iPad and researched show times in the park, how to
Is business down? Are you fighting with a family member? Are you wondering how you’re going to keep your house? Has your mate been cheating on you? Does your body keep going through one health issue after another? \ Well? What if you just said, “So WHAT?!” to the whole darn thing? \ I mean there comes a
Do you ever catch yourself whining like a five-year-old about your business rather than shining like a rockstar CEO? \ We all whine, and it usually feels justified. After all, we're simply stating the truth about the reality of our finances, overwhelm and how so-and-so ticked us off. \ Complaining changes not
Eason Jordan said, “With the benefit of hindsight, had more care been taken, maybe this could have been avoided.” \ And TheFreeDictionary.com says this about hindsight, “Perfect understanding of an event after it has happened; - a term usually used with sarcasm in response to criticism of one's decision, im
I’m one of those people who is either super happy, really at peace, having a blast or highly stressed. Whatever I do, I do it big. I’m not proud of it, it just is. I’m always a little surprised when I get wound up about something negative because in general I live knowing that all is well. Except when I forget.
I often trick myself into thinking that I have a certain end result in mind but upon further examination, I notice that what I’m really committed to is something else. \ Commited or TryingFor instance, in the past I’d tell myself that I wanted to create a certain amount of income per month. Yet, month after mo
Over the years, I’ve had many clients who said, “I always get what I want, but it never seems easy.” \ All struggle is birthed in your mind. You may think you just had bad luck or random acts of technical glitches, but it all comes down to what you believe. There is nothing that can’t be traced back to wha
Sometimes what you know may be more dangerous than what you don’t know. You may mistake knowledge or experience as “truth”. There is only one truth about your business; what you believe will come true. \ Let me show you how this works. Tika became distraught when her creativity seemed to disappear overnight
One of the first things you are told as a business owner is that you must have a business plan. I agree. I’m a fan of long-term and right now plans. But that doesn’t guarantee you profits or growth. Many people file that puppy in a drawer or stash it in the depths of their computer. Then it’s out of their mind un
A majority of mankind bumbles through life doing things they think are good for them. But most never ask a simple question, "Is this action or behavior getting me the results I most desire?" \ And it's no different if you're a business owner. You get in a habit - some might call it a rut - taking similar actions
One of my favorite books on attitude is The Aladdin Factor by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson. They say, “If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.” And they are right. You have to ask for what you want from yourself, others, the Universe/God and your own Inner Guidance. \ I’m a huge promote
I used to HATE marketing. In fact, I used to use four letter words in front of the word "marketing" when I thought about doing it. I just wanted coaching clients, why did I have to do this torturous act? So, I stopped marketing. My joy raised and my stress went down, down, down. \ My epiphany came when my good f
When I want something, I immediately go into action to get what I want. I don’t do a bunch of research. I’m inspired and excited so I get my rear in gear. \ This is not always the best way to be when choosing a new financial investment or choosing new strategies to build a business. I’ve been burned countles
Everyone tries to make their freebie sound like it’s going to rock your world. You enter your email address into their form in hopes of getting some life changing info, only to feel like you wasted your time after you get the audio, video, eBook or report. \ It’s time to razzle and dazzle your peeps with some
It's fascinating how some people have no problems asking for what they want, while it doesn't occur to others to even ask. I watch the phenomenon show up in my classes all the time. People pay good money to get coached in a group program, where I promise that everyone will get coached, and then they apologize when they
I’ve been pondering what it takes to double your business growth in a year. I’ve tripled my revenue in one year and doubled it another, using a very simple plan. I began by relaxing and letting go of control. Then I came up with a few practices and action steps.
There are lots of ways to grow your business, work with clients and offer your products. Often it's challenging to know what to accept and what to decline. It's even more challenging when there is money offered to you and you desperately need it. Knowing your criteria for saying yes or no to something is critic
“Build it and they will come.” \ What a crock! Total lie. \ I built a lot of things in my business that didn’t result in customers running to buy, readers commenting on my blog or even fans “liking” my Facebook page. \ Finally it dawned on me that I needed help getting the word out to my ideal
I had mastered a bad habit in my relationship. This particular practice was born out of the desire to keep peace in my house. \ It finally occurred to me that the thing I was doing to keep peace, actually kept me away from it. WHOA! \ In my quest to create flow in my relationship I would often cave in to what
If I were to grade myself for planning in my business I would have told you I’m definitely deserving of an A. Not A+ but getting there. Now, a week later I can see I was really more of a C or D student in the planning department. \ What’s changed? \ Last week I spent a day with the NY Times Best Selling
Why is it that when you need money the most, it seems the hardest to get your hands on it? The answer is because, most likely, you’ve got most of your attention on the fact that you don’t have enough money. It’s an instant log jam in the money-attraction process and it’ll make anyone a nervous wreck.
Being a coach and loving the art of effective communication would seem to give me supernatural powers in my relationships. At least that’s what I thought! It turns out that sometimes it takes more than communication to get a team or a relationship synergistically aligned.
What happens in Greece is not staying in Greece. \ I’m back in the States after a week-long vacation with some of my dearest friends who also happen to be mastermind and joint venture partners. \ In between touring Athens and Delphi we sat around a huge villa overlooking the sea while we masterminded (brain
I’m sure you’ve sat down and thought long and hard about who your ideal customer is, right? You’re intimate with their problems and how your company can provide the best solutions. You know their age range, what they do for a living and how much they’re willing to pay for your amazing products and services.
I love a good game of “Truth or Dare.” It’s scary and yet thrilling. Daring my clients to do something they want, but are scared to do is a common practice. Sometimes, all you need is someone to ask you to step up to the plate, and you will. You need a little nudge … somebody to care enough about your desires a
I believe anything is possible in business. I believe that you can create gargantuan results without a whole lot of knowledge about the area in which you wish to experience success. I believe that you can turn a struggling business into a very profitable business in less than a year. \ I experienced all of the abo
My business seems to make major leaps in growth whenever I get fed up with the long lulls of the same ol', same ol'. \ Growth spurt #1 ... \ After my first couple of years coaching, I plateaued at $60k a year. It was covering my bills but I was working a lot. Coaching clients and teleclasses were scheduled ba
At some point in your life you’ve felt down, probably more than once. Somebody you cared about may have had a misfortune, your heart was broken, a health issue stopped you cold in your tracks or you had a financial disaster. Nobody is immune to feeling blue.
It's that time of year when business plans are made, goals are set and new practices are put in place. But of all the things you can do to increase your profits this year, there is one strategy that blows all the others away. \ Focus Frequently On Your Vibrational Frequency! (If you want a brain twister, look what
I’ve had several BIG aha moments in my life, but the biggest transformation has come from a single focus … peace. \ You’d think that with a business name like MasterPeace Coaching my focus would always be about being at peace. Not so. I get caught in the same traps as everyone else when it comes to getting r
Have you ever noticed that some of your friends who complain that money is tight, often seem to find money to buy a new car or some other toy that a broke person can’t afford? Or maybe you’ve experienced this phenomenon yourself. You’re stressed about expenses but you find a way to get the newest iPhone
Do you ask to be compensated in direct relationship to the value you give for the work you do? \ Do you ask for the support you need from every person that could highly impact your success? \ If you work from home, do you ask for peace while you work? If people work for you, do you ask for quiet time and hang
If you’re a business growth junkie, you’ve heard a million times that you have to know your target market. Most companies can spit out a profile of their ideal customer but nothing about it feels personal. \ General knowledge of your market isn’t enough. You’ve got to get intimate with them. You
I used to think follow-up was something you were “supposed to do” after you got a lead at a networking group. (Cut me some slack, okay? When I first started my coaching business in 1996 I’d never been on the internet and had to learn about email!) \ Follow-up felt like a chore. Not anymore! I see it as easy
No matter how much money you have in your possession, decisions involving money can be exhausting. Some decisions you make might feel good in the moment, but feel bad later. Sometimes you may say \"no\" to a purchase or investment thinking that you’ll wait until a later date, and then arrive at the later date wishing
I’m a huge fan of American Idol. Some of the feedback from the judges is very uncoach-like and disempowering. However, they emphasize several points that I love, over and over to the contestants: * Play to win. Act like you want to beat the competition. * Be consistent with who you are being on stage. Kno
Some people just don’t get it. You watch them and internally you roll your eyes, throw up your hands and get exasperated. Unfortunately, some of those people are your current customers. \ There is only one way to whip them into shape…okay, I’m kidding. Put down the whip. You have to educate them on how to b
I missed a huge opportunity for learning back in 1999, because I was so busy trying to \"get it right\". And that missed opportunity taught me how to turn my fears about business and leadership into courage and powerful actions. I signed up for a leadership course that was a year-long process through The Coaches

Most entrepreneurs have an abundance of ideas but have a difficult time determining which one is worthy of their time. Who wants to pour a bunch of energy and money into a project, company or product that may give little return on investment? Nobody. \ You always give something a whirl because you think you can ma
While discussing life problems when in the company of fellow iPhone users, you’re bound to hear, “I bet there’s an app for that!” And there usually is an application that will help solve whatever issue or bad habit you want to correct. The same is true for your business. Name any irritation in your biz
I've been called a control freak, multitasker, goof ball, magnificent manifestor and just plain ole freak. I can relate to all of them. However, the one that really irritates me is when someone says I'm not very good at delegating. \ Why? Because I see how often it doesn't even occur to me to ask for help. I'm use
I'm often asked how I doubled, or tripled, my income in a short amount of time. My answer is usually so simple that it often doesn't make a lasting impression upon those who hear the answer. They go back into their business and sift through all the other strategies they've heard will grow businesses and then get into m
As a business owner and leader, you may think you’re always focused on attracting new income. But often, you’re more focused on putting out fires, figuring out what went wrong with your latest biz building technique and searching for clarity on what’s next. \ What if each of your questions about increasing profi
My two year-old son, Lucky, loves going to the park. Lately, we go to a park darn near every day that the weather permits. \ No matter how many times we go it’s always the same routine: • Head straight toward the slide • Find and pick up big sticks • Throw a ball if we brought one • Lo
Some people have high standards when it comes to who they hire, partner with and accept as a client. The rest of the world wants something better for themselves but think they have to tolerate whoever enters their space. What if rockstar business relationships were only a perspective away? And of course, they are.

I don't know about you, but I struggled mightily trying to figure out how to make a quantum leap. Funny thing is that anytime my profits jumped up in a significant way, it was never the way I had intended. Does that mean that you can't plan for a big profit increase? You can absolutely envision, plan an
