What is it you want out of this election? Do you want your candidate to win? Do you want the candidate you don't like to lose? Do you want the one to win who agrees with all your opinions and perspectives? With just your biggest issue opinion? Income tax? Abortion? Balanced Budget? Mass Transit? Human rights? Immigration? Military? Social programs?

This morning I drove down a suburban street on the way home from dropping off my teenager at school. On this one street alone, there were about a half dozen people out walking. Some had dogs with them; some had a partner; some were alone. These people were different sizes, shapes and ages. I ...

Nothing is working, what should I do? Have you ever had that unsettling thought? What happens when you wake up and nothing seems to be working in your life? There is no immediate crisis, but you feel “out-of-step.” Now, because you are a “doer”, you will begin to take a mental inventory of ...

By watching only a few minutes of a football game, you'll see dozens of players make hard contact with their opponents as the ball flies from one end of the field to another. Each one of these impacts can create a potential concussion. In fact, concussions are common in the sport of football as competition rises during each game. Learn about the governmental research that surrounds these injuries so that football can be a safer game to play than before. Untreated concussions

This article is for the person who likes to wait to take action until they know they’ll have a big result, have it perfect, or at least won’t fail. It’s also for those who take an action one time, and if they don’t get the result they imagined, they stop. First, no judgment. I’ve been there. For most of my life, I only did things that I was pretty sure I was naturally good at and would be likely to get a positive result. “Wasting” time was my nemesis, and anything without

Thy Kingdom Come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven! For this prayer to come to pass, we must examine our hearts and change our ways and embrace the heart of our Father God and walk in the narrow way that leads to life and not in the broad way that leads to destruction.n For the Kingdom to come, Greed an

We all have some basic needs. Food. Clothing. Shelter. Health. Without these, life is difficult and not very enjoyable. But once you have these, what is it that makes you happy? Chances are extremely high that even if you attained everything you desired in life, you would still eventually become discontented once again. That is, unless you understand that the only pleasure you derive from anything is that which your mind gives to it. If you remove your thoughts and attention from any object or experience, your corresponding happiness and enjoyment vanis

Two months ago I published 10 ways you let fear get a hold of you. I continue this exploration with 9 Conditions of Fear. As a Life Coach, my intention is to demonstrate the conditions that make fear more favorable. In phase III of the Inspired Action Coaching process my coaches and I work with people to shift the conditions of life to support happiness and success. Consider this idea, “Your environment dictates who you are!” Most people have allowed the conditions of their life to set themselves up. Rather than being deliberate, they are accidental.

In this time in human history, it is becoming more and more important for people to tap into the power that they have inside. The days of being comfortably numb for many of us are over, and we are being called and challenged to evolve. In order to make this happen, we're going to have to start making some bold moves - and that can feel quite scary. Bold moves may bring up fear, but consider the alte ative. For most of us staying the same is no longer an option - and in fact may be an even more frightening idea.

When you begin your journey as a woman entrepreneur, your most important action step is to get clients and create a “buzz” about your product or service so you can keep the business alive and get on a path to profitability. With effective marketing, your business will grow and over time, word will spread about the results people are getting when they work with you. If becoming a leader in your industry is a goal for you, now will be the time to consider an updated look in your business – a new brand image - both personally and professionally.

Or should I say “Well Balanced Moms Are More Fun”? Let me ask you… When was the last time you had lunch with some girl friends, or went on a girl’s night out? When was the last time you went on a romantic weekend getaway with your spouse? If you can’t remember, we definitely have to talk. It’s ...

Your work or life may require speaking in public. Some people think of public speaking as delivering a talk to a large audience; others think that two or more people constitute a large enough audience to be intimidating. Are you one of the rare people who is frightened of public speaking? Note the use of sarcasm here: actually public speaking has long been the #1 fear in the United States, just ahead of nuclear warfare. You are most emphatically not alone.

An early step I take with my Platinum clients is to walk them through having a marketing conversation with potential clients so they quickly start to grow their business. One of the effective strategies to set up that conversation is to send out a promotional email. You don’t need to feel you have to wait to get your website set up or start up an electronic newsletter; all of us have a list of people we can contact. And, if you don’t have clients, it’s one of the easiest ways to GET clients!

Americans were thankful and joyous to learn of the successful rescue of Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama, a commercial ship bringing much-needed food and supplies to Africa. Capt. Phillips acted heroically when his ship was attacked by Somali pirates five days earlier, surrendering himself as a hostage while protecting the crew from a similar fate. President Obama noted that Captain Phillips' demonstration of courage was "a model for all Americans." We all join

Well, as advertisers are helpfully reminding us, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. For me, as for many other people, this can be a time of irritation. This isn’t because I’m what our culture calls a “single guy.” I enjoy that, actually. It’s because this is the time of year when I get to hear people lament how long it’s been since they’ve bee “in a relationship,” or since they’ve done whatever other romantic thing they think they should be doing. One Person’s Romantic Comedy Is Another’s Horror Movie

Referring back to the email I sent out a few weeks ago about those things that keep us from making the changes in our lives that we SAY we want to make, I would like to briefly touch upon the third most common excuse: “I’m scared of what I might find out.” Could it be that we are so numb by our current way of being that we would rather play it safe and maintain our mediocre status quo than risk going through some tough times for the gift of experiencing life and all her magnificence?

Have you ever noticed yourself thinking about what someone else is thinking about? I know I have. I can honestly say that I spent most of my life being unaware of doing this, I did it automatically. And I went as far as believing that I really knew what other people were thinking about. n n I’ve had full blown arguments with someone else – in my head – without ever speaking a single word out loud to this person. This may sound like insanity but it isn’t – it’s actually quite

Eckhart Tolle, in his book A New Earth, points the way to a renewal of spiritual consciousness. At the core of this renewal is a refocusing away from our self-absorbed ego toward our true selves in the Now, our Source Being. Tolle contends that our ego uses thoughts to feed itself, and it ...

I have worked with Grocery Chains, Grocery Stores, Ice Businesses, Insurance Companies, Bread Company, Online Businesses and Home Businesses for over 30 years. One of the main things they all have in common is that they all want a full parking lot. It doesn’t matter if they have many store fronts, on-line website or a home business they all need customers to succeed. They all need to keep growing each year by finding more customers and filling up their parking lots.

A year ago, I sat down at my desk to look at my weekly planner, which was bursting with "to do" lists, phone calls, committee meetings, projects, lunch appointments, classes, speaking engagements and networking. My mind fogged over just looking at all these commitments, and I suddenly realized I ...

I was coaching a client yesterday who was feeling terribly off center due to some family circumstances that caused her to feel very guilty. She's got an ill mother, is starting a new career, and is trying to find balance. She felt like everybody thought she was a bad daughter for not immediately tending to her elderly mother's each and every demand, the moment it was asked of her, and the situation was distracting her from her work and life. When I started digging I realized she was listening to her "Everybody". You've got an Everybody, too.

When I speak to a group, I almost always get questions about e-mail. “I just get so much e-mail at work and I don’t know what to do with it,” people say. Worse yet, they’ve usually tried several e-mail organizing systems, and the overwhelm they’re feeling hasn’t gone away. I think this is because a lot of suffering we experience around e-mail has nothing to do with how we organize it. Instead, it stems from the ways we think about and react to our e-mail.

I just love the DVR, don’t you? Over the holidays, during some much needed down time, I caught up on some of my favorite shows, including Oprah. (I had close to 15 shows in the queue!) One day I was watching her interview with the Aussie Country Music star, Keith Urban, who is married to Nicole Kidman.

This action scared the living twist out of me! What was hammered through my thick skull that the amends I made were for my benefit, not for the benefit of the person I was making amends to.

As an Inspired Action life coach, my job is to assist my clients in action on their goals and dreams. This is not easy to do because most people have been trained to motivate themselves to take action. The problem is that motivation doesn't last. Motivation is like utilizing sugar in your body. It’s good for a short burst but it’s not sustainable energy.

I am now in the generation whose parents are getting old and sick. It’s the cycle of life. I remember when my grandfather was in the hospital dying. My Father was by his bedside all the time. Now we are facing that stark reality: our parent’s decline and their mortality. Our parents are in a stage of life that is not only difficult for them but for us as well, physically and mentally. How do we deal with the inevitable changes they go through?

“No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.” — Elbert Hubbard I am sure 99% of the readers associate with the above line. Lucky are the 1% who actually have a relaxing vacation and get recharged. Idea of relaxation and relaxation techniques are different for everyone. All of us however, do agree that all of us need to relax. In this age of super activity we have lost the meaning of relaxation and quite often associate it with sleeping and watching television.

“You talking to me? You talking to ME?” -Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver, 1976 As passionate and purposeful business owners who are constantly engaged in marketing our services and ourselves, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the should-do’s and must-do’s. Every week it seems there’s a new social media application or new product launch, a new Facebook strategy, a new book to read or another conference that just can’t be missed. In the midst of trying to keep up with all of this, there is a great lesson we can learn from actor Robert De Niro, and it’s probably not what you think.

The question isn’t whether or not your business has a website, it’s a given it does. The real question is this: Does your website allow you to connect and interact with visitors? If it doesn’t, you are missing out on an enormous opportunity to grow your business. A website that is nothing ...

Personal Acceptance What does acceptance mean to you – being resigned to something or finding peace within ourselves by ‘going with the flow’? When we accept something we take it at face value without question. Acceptance of others and our lives can be very difficult. We don’t like the way other people behave, we may not like the way we are, physically or mentally. The idea of acceptance being resignation to your lot seems to contradict a lot of what we try to achieve through self development and personal coaching.

As a Life Coach, I help people get where they want to go and do what they’ve always dreamed of doing. Over and over again I've seen people achieve tremendous goals and create enormous change—the kind of progress that tends to make other people say, "Oh, I could never do that!" My clients leave the jobs they hate and create satisfying new career paths. They lose the weight they are tired of battling. They make significant emotional or geographic moves.

We worry about our kids: their well-being and happy future are our main conce s in life. We long for them to be content and successful at whatever they choose to do. We hope that we’ll be able to provide them with the same kind of help that many of us have received from our own parents. But how can we ensure that we’re doing everything in our power to make all of this come to pass? We can, but there’s a process. First, take a few steps back and consider what we truly want for our kids.

Trust Up.nnnTrust is a five letter word with ‘u’ at the center.nnnImplicit trust is immeasurable. It cannot be purchased. The value of complete trust in a relationship is priceless.

Having Free Will gives us the appearance or concept of being able to do what we think is right for us in each moment. The operative word and challenge is the word "think," along with the opposite of thinking being feeling. Neither one is going to allow us to listen to that "still small voice within." When we are able to connect to that inner voice, hear what it is being given to us in the moment, we are then clear and can follow through and take action. Until that time we ar
