Last week while sick with a protracted cold, I made a decision. I'm ready to reopen my consulting business.
While talking with one of my mentors, I realized, AGAIN, how much business I'd been turning down by saying 'no' to consulting work to do coaching and web work. (A shocking dollar amount.)
As someone who talks a lot (face it, I talk a LOT on this topic) about invisible pockets of income, and listening to your market, I had a serious mind bend.
How about saying 'yes' to the income that is looking for me?
Instead of pushing string uphill in an area that I'd like to think is cool.
'Holy cow! I just made my first sale
while I was having a candlelight
dinner with Gary!'
Isn't that music to your ears?
The award for 'Just Doing It' goes this week to corporate executive turned life coach, Patricia Soldati, at left.
With all the talk about creating products for your coaching business these days, are you stuck wishing you knew how to begin?
It's a process that has steps after all, so where is the darned blueprint? Not just for one part of it, the whole thing!
If you're going to tweak the way you think about 'doing' and 'being' coaching in your business, I fully agree. You should have a clear insight into how to do it.

Have you ever noticed that when you're trying to do something you don't like, along the way, you get lots of other things done?
Perverse, I know. :-)
I developed a heinous dislike of paperwork and bookkeeping at the age of 11 when I spent a summer entering receipts into those blue ledger books. From fear of Dad, I remember the sweat under the hair at my neck as my "I don't know" pile got bigger and bigger and the shoebox full of receipts seemed to stay the same.
Recently, I got a little sharp in my comments at a coaching discussion list. Here's what I said...which earned a few tomatoes on and off list.
(If you stand for something, you're bound to get some, so get used to it. Conversely...remember that if you don't get any you're probably not getting heard above the noise.)
What's funny is the reaction of a friend, offlist, which I'll paste at the bottom. Only fair to share the funny with the sharp, right?
