16 pages of paper
I've gotten some interesting reactions since I announced the launch of my Secret Coach Club print newsletter this month. I admit, I've had some strange looks because the newsletter is only available on paper. That's right, there's no electronic version. It's very...
You gotta love it to sell it
When I believe in what I'm selling, I can sell the heck out of it. I don't have a problem selling my coaching services, since I know that I help people and the value is there. It's fun to do it. But if I don't believe in something, that's my Kryptonite. If I don't...
Interview on Inner Dominatrix
I can safely say that I've never been on a podcast quite like Dana Pharant's new one, but it was a lot of fun! We focused on one of my big themes: not caring too much about the opinions of others. If you want to get a thicker skin, check it out:...
How goes the battle?
Back when I was in high school, I was a "gas station attendant" (gas pumper) at a local service station. Pretty glamorous, right? Back at the small town store I worked at, there were some old-timers who spent much of their days hanging around the coffee pot, shooting...
Is your butt covered?
Happy Monday, I've got a few podcasty things going on today: 1) I had Lin Eleoff on Natural Born Coaches, to show how you can cover your butt legally while running an online business. Lin is a successful Internet business lawyer and has experience that no other guest...
Let go of my cape and let me fly
I hate critics. "Hate" may sound like a strong word, and I know that I'll get some people slapping me for it, but it's true. With just a few words, a critic can cause someone to retreat backwards and not do what they really want to do. The critic is usually pissed off...
What do you want one year from today?
Good coaches know that the right questions make all the difference when it comes to getting breakthroughs with clients. The best coaches that I know have a bunch stored away and ready to whip out when needed. (A few weeks back I told you about the book Coaching...
Start with the corners and work your way out
My little guy and I have been working on a puzzle this week (it's a "Super Mario" one). It's only 550 pieces, but it's been a frustrating one because a lot of the pieces are the same colour (I'm sick of seeing yellow by now). Slowly but surely it's coming together. We...
If the phone booth is full no one can answer the call
Back in the late 1950's, it became a fad to try to cram as many people into a phone booth as possible. 25 students set the record by managing to squeeze into a booth, but when the phone rang, no one was able to answer the call! What can a strange fad from almost 60...
Is Secret Coach Club for my niche?
I had an email from someone interested in joining Secret Coach Club the other day, and it's a question that's popped up a few times since I launched it last Friday: === I work with corporate so will this be applicable to this market/niche? === The answer is "yes". My...
