Like all marketing tasks, performing an appointment setting campaign does have its challenges. Perhaps, on your own, you will not be able to do it right. But that should not be a problem, since you can outsource it to a competent lead generation agency . Still, it is still your job to know more about your business prospects. You may get a lot of B2B leads, but if you fail to fully understand your prospects, then nothing is going to happen. This calls for a little probing work

The problem is obvious. So, rather than talk about the problem, let's talk about the solution. Here are some tips and suggestions for coping with the negativity and challenges that seem to surround us these days: 1) Don't spend more than 30 minutes a day on media. Between the radio, the ...

I’ve written before about how it’s helpful, when you’re facing writer’s block, to just sit with that sense of creative emptiness, and allow it to pass away on its own — rather than beating yourself up for being uncreative, or distracting yourself from the emptiness by playing Minesweeper. When we learn to just let the writer’s block be, instead of resisting it, we get more inspired and productive in what we do. In this post, I want to expand on why this is. One thing I often say is: “If you can’t be with emptiness, you can’t be with content.” Emptiness and Procrastination

Soul Contracts can be wonderful, loving connections between people that help create growth, transformation, and even access to unconditional love. (Laaaaa! Can you hear the birds tweeting and the harps playing?) People always want to know what the Soul Contract is between themselves and their partner, brother, mother, best friend… After all, once you know the Soul Contract, you’re on track to creating a successful relationship.

We have entered into a new year which is to be known thought the generations of our life as one that is historical and life changing. For must of us, well at least me, it is also time to come up with what will be our New Years Resolution or promise to ourselves of our accomplishments for 2009. ...

APPLES and TREES We often hear that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Did that ever come home to roost this week. I received a phone call from my adult son late yesterday afte oon. In this economy, he has gone through a rough patch with employment even with an MBA and Chef certification. We live in different towns, so do not see each other frequently, but generally talk often. Over the past couple of months phone calls had been further between, and I know our son has allot of pride and does not like to ask Dad and Mom, or anyone for that matter, for help.

More and more businesses are becoming reliant on the internet to remain competitive on the international market. What the web does is make them available and operational 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. This has clearly made technology an essential aspect not only of the sales process, but also in offering quality customer service. However, it is important that businesses, regardless of their size, realize that technology alone will not enable them to give their customers top quality customer service.

"If you can dream it, you can do it." -- Walt Disney It is estimated that up to ninety percent of our behavior is habitual. That means that up to ninety percent of what you do, you do the same day in and day out - often without conscious thought. This may not seem like a concern, until you consider what percentage of your behavior is sabotaging your success. While you may be aware of some of your bad habits, it takes the guidance of an accountability coach to identify and br

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” ~ Washington Irving When you hold on to a grudge, or regret, you are holding on to negative emotions that can block you from manifesting good things in your life. To remove this block, You need to forgive and let go.r

For a number of years, I have been told resentments will tear me apart if I don’t deal with them. I was told, and it remains true today, that resentments are like a tenant in an apartment building who occupy space but pay no rent. The space in my head is at a premium, and I need it to be ...

Are You in Control of Your Own Life or a Victim of Circumstances? You Can Change All That. Many of us have “Good Days” and “Bad Days” and most of it is out of our control. Or is it? Sometimes we get out of bed and something bad happens right away and we might say, “It’s gonna be a bad day.” The day has barely started and we have already written it off as hopeless. On the other hand, after many days of rain, the sun is finally shining and we feel re-energized and ready to tackle anything.r

With the advancement in technology, it has been noted that people are living healthier and life expectancy is increasing. It is for this reason also that professionals of today are able to work much longer compared to the earlier generations. Many older people are also actively seeking a career at a later stage in life. Just because you are in your prime doesn’t mean you need to stop doing what you love doing, especially in relation to your work or career. It is important, however, that you keep the right balance between your life and career if you want to stay healthy and happy.

I have three teenagers and I have made all these mistakes. My eldest daughter does not want to tell me where she goes. I have to call her cell phone and drive around like a detective to figure out where she might have been. It was like a nightmare. I cannot get my son to stop playing computer even when his O-level examination is less than two months' away. My relationship and communication is thrown out of the window. These are the mistakes I made. Listening to other parents with teenagers I realised these are the most common mistakes many parents with teenagers made.

Since 1988 I have spent the better part of every day helping people overcome their problems ranging from ordinary bad habits to extreme PTSD. The whole process centers around introducing people to the nature and function of our mind. Isn’t it ironic that we need help to understand something so close to us? Our mind — our thoughts and emotions — is our most intimate experience. Why is it so unwieldy? While it seems self-evident that we live in the world, we actually live in our mind.

How much of your time do you spend doing things you don't want to do? Are the things that you "really" want to do, always at the bottom of your to-do list? Do you routinely find things on your calendar that you wish you could "get out of?" I am consistently struck by the powerful, strong, talented people I know--individuals who run businesses, who can be a force-to-be-reckoned-with when called to defend their own families, people who KNOW how to make-things happen, who struggle with how to apply those skills to themselves. A client of mine decided that she was ready to get serious

As I set up my own company –there is plenty to think and do every single day – how to add value to clients, how to reach the target audience, best way of marketing & networking, optimizing social media use, continuity plans, expansion plans, deadlines to ensure things get completed etc.

There is a shift in the consciousness in our culture right now. More and more people want to live in integrity and do what their soul longs for instead of living a hybrid existence. This is particularly true for the soul-inspired entrepreneur. Just like a hybrid vehicle that has two different engines, one gas and one electric; a hybrid life is part soul-inspired while the other part is often money or relationship driven. Unlike a hybrid vehicle a hybrid life is not always in perfect alignment.

SIMPLE SHARE on WHY Why did I feel it necessary to get "help" and get a coach? My simple story. In 1994 I hit a wall. I was "sick and tired of being sick and tired" emotionally. While my self-employment was earning me a good living, many things around me were going unglued and I was turning far more frequently to mood altering substances and behaviours to "escape". I did not really like who I saw in the mirror and felt a soul pain inside.

Life is often a whirlwind of activity. Your work obligations, social life, and family activities often pile up, leaving you feeling buried beneath a never-ending list of to-do’s. Left unchecked, this sense of being overwhelmed can run rampant and cause mental, emotional, and physical damage. ...

Remember the Alice Cooper song, "School's Out"? The lyrics are running through my mind as I write this article. The last bell rang, the kids are running through the house at all hours of the day and their summer camps are spread all across town. My schedule has become a mere shadow of the nice, tidy, organized days I experience September through May. Sound familiar? I'm finding this is true for many women entrepreneurs so today's article offers a few coping strategies when summer arrives and suddenly it feels like your schedule has been hijacked.

Is it just me, or are we all swimming in a sea of messages, texts, Facebook invitation, updates from LinkedIn, the Twittersphere and voice mails (landlines & cells)? I know of someone who actually carries 2 phones on him at all times. He drops what he’s doing and dutifully bids the phones commands…every time. The irony is that with all this connection, you’d think we’d really feel connected. Truth is though, most people don’t. In fact we’re craving more intimacy. We want t

It is definitely very easy for student entrepreneurs to get caught up with their startup during summer because they feel this is the perfect time for them to attend to the many aspects of their new businesses. And so, having a day job is not a very popular option for them. While it may seem that joining an internship is a waste of time, there are many useful things a starting entrepreneur could pick up from this endeavor. Follow these tips so you could take full advantage of your internship:

Peace is a state of mind. Peace is not the absence of war; war cannot exist in a statenof peace. War is not an option for peaceful beings. Peace is a state of mind, an intention to live peacefullynwith all beings. Waging war will never bring peace, just a temporaryncessation of war. The last ...

How many times have you thoughtfully, and perhaps painstakingly, made a decision, and then doubted it? Decisions are often made without much clarity. Sometimes this occurs even with moral ones where some say the choice should be easy. If there are many roads, what influences the path you ...

When you hire a business coach and develop a program or product, the first marketing instructions you get will probably be something like this: “Contact your friends, send them a warm letter, offer them your services or product, and ask them if they know people who would be interested.” Bingo! You’re on your way with a marketing list, sure to grow as your friends enthusiastically spread the word. Oh.

Fifteen years into my business career, I began to feel unfulfilled. Deep in my soul, I had a desire to make a difference in the lives of other people. Some people would argue that I was making a difference. I contributed to the success of an organization; I managed people and helped them grow ...

There was a great headline in the Evening Standard a couple of weeks ago “101 things to do before we die, just one to go and we’re not even 30”. It caught my eye – in the newspaper of the person sitting next to me on the tube and I was very happy that as she left, she left behind the newspaper so I could get a good read!

The month of February reminds me of family, history and most of all love. Like most of you, I recognize and honor love each and every day but there is something very special about the collective consciousness that allows you to take a deeper look at how love shows up. What a wonderful time to appreciate all of the relationships that make up the community of our lives. This week many young couples are preparing for romantic dinners and get-a-ways.

Making the right choice is indeed aha! The catch – one can only know if a choice is right or wrong in retrospect. Every day we are faced with multiple choices and as society is progressing choices are increasing multi-fold. With this multi-fold increase, decision making is becoming complex whether you are a homemaker or a business owner, a student or a working professional, an artist or a sportsman – simply due to plethora of options available in everything. Some choices are easy and some hard. Choices are hard – when they cannot be reversed easilyr

I would like to give 5 coooool tips for staying calm, positive and even going beyond that. 2009 seems to be the year in which the whole world and not just some parts of it will learn the lesson of LOSS ( from their own experience or observing the experience of others). Loss is a part of change. ...

DOES IT STILL PLAY FORWARD? The biggest limiting factor in many lives today is the past, plain and simple. In the “co-creative process of life recovery” that I deeply believe in, a huge part of the coached journey is taking a very hard and detailed look at the past and fully getting things that are buried within exte alized. In my journey, I found for me, the biggest limitations that were preventing me from having the abundant life I deserved were limitations that were ingrained in me when I was young.r

“I just could not understand the rage in the beginning. It was like the harder I tried to be perfect, the angrier he would become. I was beautiful--the perfect wife, perfect mother, perfect in my job, and kept a perfect home. What was I doing wrong to make him act this way, threaten me, and scream at me until he frothed at the mouth with ire?” - Dr. Gayle J. Hall.

More and more the term Law of Attraction is gaining publicity and becoming known to mainstream America. The big questio I'm always being asked is "Is it real and does it work?" The answer is a definitive YES, if you understand the fundamental principles of the attraction process and how to ...

Why are you still single? It's this the question every single person hates. I used to get this question all the time. Now, I get more of the statement that's a question, "You're single?!" What follows immediately is "Why?" I used to say, "If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be single anymore." Now my response is, "Because I refuse to settle."

Fear can be broken down into three categories: real (healthy), imagined (thought-based) and worry. Although fear can get in your way by interfering with your hopes, dreams and desires; fear is not always a bad thing. Admitting you’re afraid of something can be quite enlightening. It gives you a ...

I love to watch my daughter learn to walk - her tentative steps grow more confident each day. About half of the time she makes it across the room to whatever piece of furniture she can grab and about half of the time she falls on her bottom. There are times when she cries out for me when she lands or gives up and crawls to her destination while other times when she looks slightly startled and then stands back up again and continues walking. Each day she’s more likely to do the latter.r

We've all done it… then something happens, and we think "Why didn't I listen to that voice?" We think this, because the voice could have (and should have) prevented a bad result from occurring. I have always carried my cell phone in my purse. The last couple of days, I've been carrying it in my pockets. Then it has fallen out twice, and I've thought both times, how I need to carry it in my purse again…not even knowing why I decided to put it in my pockets.

Spiritual life coaching is about manifesting your desires by clarifying your vision and goals, removing blocks and increasing your energy and vibration to attract what you desire. It differs slightly from conventional life coaching, in that it focuses a lot on the 'inner game' and core beliefs before taking the initial steps towards success. If you desire a new business, more clients, a soul mate - it all begins with your internal state of mind, and getting aligned with your

In my last post I shared What does a Life Coach do? The next question that I get is who benefits from coaching or what are the benefits of coaching? "Coaching benefits all those who see a gap between where they are and where they want to be and most importantly want to bridge that gap!" If you are satisfied with where you are and wish to remain where you are – Coaching is not for you. To explain the benefits of coaching, I will address three typical questions that I get: “I am happy, how will coaching benefit me?”

The Gallup Global Survey 2011 results show that only 18% of Australians say that they love their work. This is a dismal scenario for companies because happy employees bring better investment returns, sales and numbers. And even until today, the big bosses say that it's "lonely on top". So if you're wondering where we went wrong, it's probably the lack of support in and out of the workplace. Yes, there are programs for professional development, such as skills enhancement and c

Gratitude Most people believe that each day is a gift and that we should be grateful for it. How many people actually are grateful for each day I don’t know, but I would guess that it is not as much as it should be. How many people enjoy each day, realize that each day is different and we should be happy every day.

We were all born to live a successful life. We were all born with divine purpose. We are all born with unique talents and skills which contributes to development of this world. Some people are able to actualize their purpose and fulfill their destiny. Others are destined to recognize the challenges we need to overcome to become the beautiful beings we were born to be. It is easy to have a great time yet focus on a negative occurrence. That's what we do. As part of our journe

When I was working at the hospital, in the '90's, we accepted dietetic interns and one of those interns was a student from Singapore, whose husband was in medical school at the same time. Their plan was to return to Singapore to open their own wellness center. I share this because it was from ...

One day on the way back from visiting some friends out of town, I turned on my favorite radio station. Like every Sunday it was playing a play list; nobody was talking. After a while I noticed that although I was listening to music I really love and that usually stirs up emotions, this time I ...

What are you afraid of? Are your worries preventing you from getting things accomplished in your life? Everyone has fears and many people let those fears stop them from doing things that may prove to be worthwhile or even lucrative. How can you turn your fear into a positive force in your life? The first thing you need to understand is the fear itself. Why are you afraid? Is it a rational fear? A fear of snakes can be rational, while a fear of spoons isn't. Figure out if your fear is rational; if it isn't, try to understand why you have such an irrational fear.

“I ain’t got nothin’. Just look at me. Sittin’ here at a homeless shelter, but I have the whole world, baby. I ain’t goin’ hungry tonight. I’m happy.” – A homeless man at Presbyterian Night Shelter in Fort Worth, Texas.

In conversations with clients – I hear some of the most amazing one liners that help my personal growth. Today’s blog is a reflection on one such sentence. “Me: What has stood out for you in the past three weeks? Client: I now distinguish between reasons and excuses – that helps me in getting things done!”

With Suitor #1, he and I talked via text and on the phone a lot. Then when we met in person, there wasn't any chemistry. A friend told me next time to not talk with the guy so much. That way there wouldn't be expectations. So I decided to try this tactic, because at this point, I'm willing to try just about anything to see if it works. This suitor (who happens to have the same name as the last guy) and I met when he sent me an email through an online dating site. After my initial response, he replied it was pointless to continue conversing through email and wanted to start texting.
