One of the biggest frustrations of having a business can be managing staff. It’s frustrating to have a team member who is constantly off the mark in terms of what you need from them.

However we all have a business partner that we sometimes forget. It’s your “higher power.” Many call it God, Spirit, or Source. Let your higher power figure out “the how.” That higher power can see the bigger picture, and knows more than your conscious mind knows. You have access to this guidance always. Are yo

Have you ever asked yourself, why do some coach-preneurs succeed and others don’t? If you are like me, I bet you have.

I went into business at the time when email way making its way into the thrust to improve efficiency. This was not an “upgrade” situation, it was a big change. Email has made cables, faxes, telephone calls and such prior scientific advancements in communication dwindle in importance, especially at the minimal cost and fast speed of emailing.

Many car owners are happy to drive around with stone chips or even cracks in the windshield. They do not realize how dangerous it is. Windshield replacement could save your life. It might seem like no more than a window to give a clear view of the road and keep the weather off your face. However the windshield is essential to the structural integrity of any modern vehicle.

You keep forgetting… You keep going through life feeling like you are stuck… You go through the motions of living life to the full and yet, there is still something inside of you that doubts yourself… Something that sees the world as a place of despair… And you wonder whether you will ever reach the place you know exists inside of your heart… You want more… And you are not even always sure what the more is, that you want.

Does success always bring happiness? The last two times I examined aspects of “purpose”, “success” and “suffering”. Now I will examine these from the angle of whether your life is in sync with the universe and if you are at peace. In reference to Amy Winehouse, I suspect she was not at peace. Even at the relatively tender age of 27, she was successful, a star, but not at peace. In fact there are indications of a sad depression, and ultimately, a sad story. It seemed that the thrills of drugs could not work. Why do we suffer?

With credit lines diminishing and debt rising, how does one go about paying for all the resources to grow?

One of the biggest pitfalls for many entrepreneurs is that they go on automatic pilot to get it all done, because there is so much to do to keep all the balls in the air. Not only do they get exhausted, but end up losing touch with the joy and passion that called them to do what they are doing in the first place. My mentor often says, “Who you are in your life is who you are in your business.” I have found that to be so true, and why it is so important to have some tools to finally shift the stuck places.
