I love being able to help others achieve their successes (as they perceive them to be) which is why I am in the business that I’m in. I also am an Area Director in BNI (Business International Network) in the Arizona area and love seeing how people not only learn from networking but are able to explore themselves through their own businesses this way.

Interesting article. I’m not a life coach and would never claim to be one, knowing it’s a skilled job if it’s done properly. But I have seen “life coach” websites that are really just selling books, software or other self-help materials. Unfortunately there are so many unscrupulous people out there in the best tradition of snake-oil salesmen, particularly in this field. I think it’s really quite disgraceful to make money out of people who are clearly feeling vulnerable in some way or in need of help. Don’t know what can be done about it though.

I’ll be your witness to testify. No one does what I do (more or less) so I had to forge my own way. I heard of a book titled “So what you love and the Money will Follow” I never got around to reading it, but I figured what else did I need to know beyond the title? I am on the verge, adventuring aimlessly around the world. I stumbled on an ancient ruin, actually it was my psyche and I emerged from the dark with a direction and plan. It took a hugh fall, literally our of a tree. But it cleared my mind. I spent 18 months and I have 2 years left until my goal is met. About the same time as a college degree, but it’s falling into place in a way college can’t. I can see it and measure the success. All because I took the time to listen to myself.
