business Coach, even if they can afford it? Being that one

Business Coach and Business Coaching
Working from home provides the ultimate experience of freedom in many ways, but at the same time it can easily allow a freedom we take for granted - a freedom that if not appreciated, can actually sabotage our success.
In the corporate world we have structures, deadlines, rules and bosses to keep things in order and on track. These are often the elements entrepreneurs want to escape from when they start a home-based business.
Although these fundamentals have their place in the corporate wo...

This week during a coaching session, one of my clients shared her ongoing struggle with managing "breaks" throughout the day. Whenever she felt the need to get up from her desk and stretch her legs, she found herself in the kitchen.
As a result of this habit, she is now 20 pounds heavier, very uncomfortable and extremely unhappy with herself.
Unfortunately this phenomenon is all too common among entrepreneurs who transition from the outside work world to working from home.

Are you psychic? I mostly wanted to get your attention with that question. But there is another reason I used it as well. The word psychic really repels some people. There are a lot of negative beliefs about people who are "psychics" like they are fake, unstable, weird, scam artists, etc. Psychic ability can be misused as can any other ability. And it can be used for the highest good. Maybe it's time to move beyond the negative connotations of "psychic" - which may be limiting you - and look at ...

Napoleon Hill, Think And Grow Rich, stated, "No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened a third mind."
He was referring of course, to the power of the mastermind.
When more than two minds unite with the intention to create a specific outcome, magic occurs. That third invisible mind draws on unseen forces and brings forth ideas one may not create alone.
One of the most powerful activities within a mastermind group i...

There must be something in the air. Three of my clients called me this week to talk about firing an employee or subcontractor. One client asked me, "Can you please write an article about this so I know what to do?" And thus this article was born.
We hire people to help us grown and run our small business: assistants and virtual assistants, website designers and graphic artists, copywriters, coaches and consultants, and bookkeepers. But what do you do when their work isn't up to par or they a...

Although your income statement might show a healthy profit, it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if you have no cash flow.
One of the biggest mistakes made by new home business owners is allowing clients and customers to buy now and pay later. In other words, extending credit.
Credit is for banks and large corporations, not for you as a home-based entrepreneur.
Cash flow is the lifeblood of your business.
Without it, your business will wither and die regardless of how many sal...

Jim had been a graphic designer for years and he was happy there. His role had become easy and frankly he could do his job in his sleep.

The Director had talked with Jim several times about leadership and he just really wasn't inte...
