Meeting your prospects at their level
I used to like playing video games as a kid. Back in the Stone Age, we managed to actually get exercise outside and not stay in front of a screen all day, but I still enjoyed my video games. I don't get to play much nowadays, except when I team up with my little guy...
The BBQ Pitch
It's Labour Day here in Canada (or "Labor" Day in the US), and 'tis the day for backyard BBQs. If you've followed me for awhile, you've probably heard me talk about "BBQ Pitches" for coaches, but today is a perfect day to talk about this if you haven't. Here's what it...
Coaches stuck in their shells

The words that you use matter
The words that you use matter. Words persuade, and can mean the difference between making the sale or not. Yet most coaches and entrepreneurs give little thought to their choice of words. You ignore them at your own peril ... The interesting thing is the right words...
A daily practice that will help your business
If you follow me on Facebook, you've probably seen that I've been asking a "Question of the Day" every day for awhile. I started my QOTD back in June, and it's been a fun and interesting experience ... One plus is the engagement I've been getting. The questions...
Time for a change?
Let's talk about "change" for a second. People are scared silly of it, and hesitant to make any changes to improve their lives or businesses (regardless of how obvious it is that they need to do something differently). In The New Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz...
Patience, young grasshopper
Despite being started 60 years ago during the Eisenhower administration, the I-95 (the highway which runs along the Eastern US from Miami up to Maine) is just being completed now. There was a pesky gap in the highway near the New Jersey/Pennsylvania border that got...
