Embellishing your life story
Last year I watched "Birth of the Dragon", a movie based (very loosely) on Bruce Lee's fight with Wong Jack Man in 1964. Being a Bruce Lee fan - not just of his martial arts, but his approach to personal development as well - I was looking forward to seeing it. I was...
I’m not trying to impress you, but impress upon you …
We all have words or phrases in the online space that bug us. For me, it's "I'm telling you this not to impress you, but to impress upon you …" It's usually followed by that person then talking about his seven mansions, his private jet, his yacht, and the fact that he...

The mental cost of not having enough coaching clients
I recently read a book ("Utopia For Realists" by Rutger Bregman) that talked about the negative impacts of poverty, and how it can drop a person's IQ. The author wasn't saying that poor people are stupid, but that they have to use up more of their mental bandwidth...

Letting go of your baby
I have a rule of thumb for my coaching business: I only do things for it that I enjoy. For the other stuff, I let go and hire good people to handle it. For example: While I enjoy podcasting, I don't enjoy the editing part, so I don't do it. While I love my Facebook...
