  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn: Chapters 1 - 2 - Chapter 1: Expect to Write, and Write, and Write Some More... The first advice I give my authors is the most simple, and quite often the most difficult. And that is, to expect to write. And I mean write. You can't just talk or read about it. The more you write, the freer you become. Nothing I say here or in my coaching, classes, and writing programs works unless you write. And write. And write. Believe it or not, I have clients who come to me expecting to write perfectly within days of our starting to work together.
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter 6 - Push Past Your Insecurities and Keep Moving Your Pen Writing takes courage. Talent is part of the equation, but it is a smaller part. Becoming a writer takes a willingness to let people see who you really are. Determination is the key. In January, after many suggestions over the years, I finally arranged to work with a channeler. I had glimpses through the years of what I call my Council of 12, a group of spirits guiding me through the perils of life's choices. I've found that when I pay attention to their voices, my life proceeds with ease. When I stop listening, trouble follows.
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapters 7-8 - The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter 7: Ninety-five percent of Writing is Just Showing Up If I were to ask each of you why you haven't written a book, I'm guessing the most common answer would be that there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day.
  • Multiple Streams of Writing Income Part 2: Creating a Clear, Compelling Vision - The first question my clients frequently ask is, "Why do I need to define a vision for what I write? Why can't we just create a strategy?" There are two critical reasons for you to do the vision process. First, let me make this next reality perfectly clear: 10% of the success of a written piece is the actual writing; 90% is a result of your strategy for getting it to your audience, the marketplace.
  • The Writing Journey: Transforming Lives - When I was growing up, my parents took an annual two-week camping trip that took us to many places in the U.S. and Canada. They'd pack the car with all the equipment, clothes, and food for them and their brood of five kids.
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter 5 - The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter Five: Hold On To Your Vision This might seem to be in direct conflict with letting go of expectations in Chapter Four. However, there is a distinct difference between expectation and vision. Let me explain. Imagination is the basis of a vision. But as you begin to implement the vision, systems and skills take over.
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapters 9-10 - Chapter Nine: Give Your Mind, Body and Soul Daily Attention Staying focused requires you to take care of yourself in mind, body, and spirit. If you are working full-time, parenting full-time, or both (is that double full-time?), you are probably a master at giving. And when you give more than you are getting for yourself, there will inevitably be a breakdown somewhere. Look at what takes energy away from you, what you are tolerating. Then eliminate that from your life. Are you continually saying yes out of a feeling of obligation? Are you doing someone else's tasks? Do you know how to say no? Learn to say no so you can refill your tank.
  • Dollar Store Coaching VS. Millionaire Mentoring - I'm writing this article sitting in front of a dollar store in West Palm Beach, Florida. As you know our corporate headquarters is located here in the beautiful Palm Beaches of South Florida. There is also a very large retirement community here and because of the retirement, most people age 65 or older are dead broke. So, what has flourished down here over the last many years are the infamous dollar store deals, dollar store products. You go in and get something for $1 or under $1.
  • Make your home page clear, concise and relevant - Coaching a client last week, I was reminded of a trap it's very easy to fall into when it comes to writing copy for your website. It's that old re-inventing the wheel thing. You can talk to people about what you do, but when it comes to writing it down, you lose the words.

  • Multiple Streams of Writing Income Part 1: Creating a Strategy for Your Writing - Creating a strategic plan for your writing is a creative process. As a result, the first thing I want you to do is keep in mind that nothing turns out as you expect it to in the creative process. Creating a strategic plan for your writing is just as important and uses the same creative energy as your actual writing. That's the fun and exciting part... if you let that process be free. So, my first piece of advice is to let go of expectations of how you are going to get to your goals. When you do that, you will see more possibilities of how to accomplish them. When you get locked into one view, you might miss the easier or more direct way.
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Get Real Nobody becomes Ernest Hemingway overnight, not even Ernest Hemingway. Style is fundamental to the person doing the writing. Trying to adopt someone else's style is like wearing a toupee. It might look good in passing, but on closer inspection, it doesn't look right. Adopting someone else's style is normal and many writers start by doing that. You hope to be that good some day. However, when you do that you lose what makes you unique. And the reader will notice. The reader wants the writer who is talking to him to be authentic. As a result, to become a great writer, you must be you.
  • Multiple Streams of Writing Income Part 6: Developing Your Strategies and Tasks - Types of Strategies There are three categories of strategies in my plan: 1. Infrastructure 2. Marketing 3. Revenue-Producing Below your vision box at the top of your flowchart, draw lines down to three boxes, and write Infrastructure, Marketing, and Revenue-Producing in the boxes. Keep in mind that many of these strategies can actually be used for both marketing and revenue-producing, or even infrastructure. I'm putting them where I'll see the most benefit by using that strategy. Let's look at Infrastructure first. Draw three boxes below that category.
  • Coach your Employees to Success! - Susan, an engineering director, was feeling very overwhelmed and frustrated. She had recently been promoted to a bigger job and was not sure how she would be able to manage more projects and more people.
  • Use coaching to improve focus - Keep your eye on the... Picture the scene, imagine I was coaching you on something as straightforward as catching a ball. We might conclude that keeping your eye on the ball would be a useful quality to bring to the task. Let's consider four ways I might try to help you do that. 1. "Watch the ball!" 2. "Are you watching the ball?" 3. "Why aren't you watching the ball?" 4. "What are you most aware of as the ball comes towards you?" Let's consider the impact of these. 1 is a command. You don't get any input or feedback on what to do differently and if you don't like me or feel under pressure, you'll probably elect to look at something else. 2 is a closed question.
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter 4 - The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter Four: Nothing turns out as you expect it to. That's the journey. That's the excitement. That's the joy of writing. The trick is to let our unconscious take us where we go while we move out of its way. This is true of all creating. This happens all of the time with my authors. When they have an expectation of the result, their writing is labored. I was recently working with a new author on the book, Creative Intelligence, the most recent book in the Guide series.
  • Considering Business Life Coaching? It's About Coaching Success - Most of us have been coached at one time or another in our lives. For many of us it took place in grade school and high school. You may have been coached in athletics, dance, drama, debate or some other area. Regardless, coaching is about creating a winning performance strategy and a successful outcome. Business life coaching and business coaching are no different.
  • oaching Skills Training: What docoaches need to know about - Coaches need to know about coaching and coaches also need to know about the situations and problems faced by their coachees. But which is more important and which can have the greater impact on our chances of success? Let's see. Subject Matter Expertise There is still some debate around whether coaches need a detailed knowledge of the matter in hand or underlying subject in order to be able to coach another person effectively.
  • Haven’t Heard Of Internet Coaching Before? - Many people know how to create a web site, but believe it or not, they have absolutely no idea about how to promote the web site they have created. Internet coaching teaches people how to promote their web sites, or to direct them in the paths of advertising techniques and the use of keywords. Not to mention the idea of generating traffic to the website won’t be in vain, how to make the web site effective and make those who are visitors to the web site potential customers.
  • Attract coaching clients by using images on your website - There are two questions that I encounter regularly when it comes to the topic of using images on coaching websites. The first is: do I need to use pictures at all? And the second is: I don't really have to post a picture of myself up there, do I? So I'm going to give you my thoughts on both...
  • Coaching Training: Added Benefit Of Reducing The Training Investment - To any organization, Employees are a very important asset, which should be managed wisely if the organization has hopes to be successful in the line of buisness.The facts show that all the people who join an organization may not be at the performing level. They would not be sharp, smooth or polished.
  • Your Best Golf Swing Can Really Happen - Your Best Golf Swing Can Really Happen Your best golf swing is achievable. If you’re like most golfers, you’ve been on the hunt for your best golf swing for a long time. The key question is…having you found it yet? If not, it’s time to take a different approach to achieve it. We know swing mechanics are very high on the list. And to achieve this takes a general understanding of the golf swing.
  • 3 steps to linking coaching sessions - When you have a follow up coaching session with somebody you've worked with previously, it can be hard to pick up the flow. I like to use the Achievements, Issues, Plans model to help with this. Start by considering achievements, i.e. what has been accomplished since you last spoke. Remember that even if every goal was not achieved in full, any kind of momentum needs to be encouraged and recognized. This can be a great way of raising confidence and of course, confident people tend to make high performers.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Asking Questions - The coaching approach requires that we help the people we coach to find their own solutions in their own way. Asking questions does this in a way that giving advice or instructions could never do. When we ask questions, we encourage our coachee to think.Without questions we do their thinking for them. In coaching the best type of questions are those that probe for a deeper than typical response. We are thus better off asking open rather than closed questions.
  • How to coach your boss - The relationship you have with your boss is very important on both a professional and a personal level. It can have a significant influence on your day-to-day job satisfaction as well as your long-term career success. The relationship is also important to your boss who is counting on you, and your colleagues, to satisfy customers, meet deadlines and achieve objectives.
  • Math Tutor: Evaluate And Improve Your Math Skills with Vedic Math’s Concept - Online coaching is the most in concept in the educational sector these being. The use of the Internet has now touched all walks of life plus the educational sector. This has also brought in a new concept of online coaching, where the students can simply learn any focus and even get assistance in completing their grounding while meeting at their homes.
  • Top 6 Reasons People Are Afraid to Say What They Want - Have you ever had a client answer "I don't know." to the question, "What do you want?" You are not alone. As a coach for the past 6 years, I found myself pondering this. For some the challenge is identifying what they want. For others, they may know (secretly) what they want and have a challenge sharing it. Why is this?
  • Multiple Streams of Writing Income Part 5: Developing Strategies and Tasks - Developing Your Strategies and Tasks Now that you have a clear vision and you know what mediums you will use your writing in, you can start to develop strategies to drive your exposure and your revenue. Each person's vision is different. As a result, their strategies and tasks will vary as well. I am going to give you examples of my own strategy. You can embellish, change, remove, or adjust any of these suggestions to fit your vision.

In addition, your writing will be clear, concise and will flow effortlessly from your mind to your fingertips. Try at least one of these tips. (I hope you'll try them all.) 1.
  • Coaching at speed - Coaching sessions can be arranged on a spectrum. At one end we can place what we might think of as 'official' coaching. A quiet room, soft chairs, softer lighting and the time necessary to explore issues in depth. At the other end lies the notion of a quick conversation snatched in a natural moment at work.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Communication and Coaching Part 3 - If you've read my first two articles in this series you'll know that I've so farf examined six communication styles and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each: Tells, Sells, Tests, Consults, Joins and Delegates So how does all this relate to coaching and where would we place coaching on the spectrum. Many contend that since coaching is about generating ownership and responsibility, it must be somewhere close to delegation. However, we can also see that perhaps coaching doesn't belong to this range of alternatives at all as it almost represents a philosophy of communication rather than a style.
  • Why You Might Be The Next Greatest Business Coach - There’s no doubt that the field of business coaching has exploded in recent years. With more and more people starting their own businesses, and executives working longer and more hectic hours, the need for an objective expert to help stop the insanity is growing. People want to do business and succeed at it, but they also want balance in their lives. They want to do what they love and spend time with their family. Not too much to ask, right?
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn, Chapter 11 - Chapter Eleven: Inspire With Your Storytelling While finding time to write came be like having unplanned sex, the act of writing is more like making love. You cannot fake it. You must feel it. When I was writing the chapter from the book A Guide to Getting It: Achieving Abundance, which is part of the book series I publish, I spent days working to develop my model of what I call the 7 C's of Change: Conscious Awareness Concern Critical State Crisis Point Chaos Choice Change I tried writing an explanation, and while the writing was effective, it was not inspiring.
  • Coaching the nervous speaker - Of all the arenas at work in which we might apply our coaching skills, helping people present in public seems to be amongst the most common. Many of the managers I train as coaches ask me how best to go about coaching their people through this experience. I guess much depends on whether we're going to be working with an individual over a period of time and develop them into an accomplished presenter or whether we're working with someone standing trembling in front of us like a gibbering wreck with 5 minutes to go before they're due on stage.
  • Coaching Skills Training:How to decide when to coach - In my work training managers to transform motivation through coaching, I am often asked how long coaching sessions should last and how often they should take place. To me that's a question that belongs up there with how long is a piece of string?
  • Coaching Skills Training: How to listen effectively - If we're going to put so much effort into framing coaching questions in the right way then it follows that we should be equally concerned with really listening to the responses we get. We need to employ the skill of active listening. Listening happens at 3 levels: Active Conversational Superficial The bottom level, Superficial, is what we do when we're hearing but not listening. We might have a conversation at a party trying to take an interest in what another guest is saying but really having our attention elsewhere, perhaps on some other conversation we suspect would be far more interesting.
  • Build Your Creative Dam To Complete Projects - Artists and writers are fed by a constant stream of curiosity. Our imaginations flow freely with ideas and connections, which allows for a rich river of creativity that can infuse our lives with joy. But what happens when this flood of ideas overwhelms us, turning our creative output into a trickle? It's time to build a creative dam. A creative dam guides our inspiration into meaningful flow.
  • Coaching Skills Training Coaching versus Mentoring - More fuss has been made about the distinction between coaching and mentoring than most other facets of coaching put together. I don't want to add to this fuss and would stress that to the coachee or the mentee the difference is largely meaningless as long as they are getting the help they need. However since this article is about clarity, I will attempt to draw out the differences between the two so that you personally are clear and so you have an intelligent answer should anyone ever ask you the question. Like teaching or instructing, mentoring is essentially development through exchange of wisdom;
  • Be a top football coach - Many, many men and women give up a large part of their personal free time for very good causes. Many of them pass on their valuable knowledge and experiences in sports such as soccer, or football, if you're not from the USA.
  • From the Kitchen to the Corner Office - Everyone has a million dollar story that they can turn into a book. The best books, from a business perspective, serve as a lead generator that points readers to their other products and services. Incorporating personal experience into a book and a thriving business is much more than sharing the author’s life story. It involves matching the author’s passion and expertise to a marketplace hungry for the solutions the author provides. Michelle Yozzo Drake learned life lessons from her mother and the other strong women of her family in the kitchen. Her women’s wisdom network taught her much more than how to make a great meal.
  • Coaching Your Employees Can Be Fun - What is coaching? Coaching is a more enjoyable way to interact with your employees. Like a coach of a sport's team, you want to encourage your team, ensure they know how to play, know the rules of the role, clarify any misconceptions, and be there to listen and support them as they grow in their job knowledge. You are the manager and that includes coaching your staff.
  • The Phases Of The Writer’s Life - Over the course of my writing life, I have noticed that other writers and I cycle through a series of steps on our path toward maturity as a writer. When people come to me for coaching, they often do not know where they are on the path and what they need to move forward. I’ve identified the phases and given suggestions for the support will best serve at each phase. Of course, I have seen the powerful impact of coaching at each phase, but I have added other means of support that are valuable for the writer’s journey. Infancy You get the spark of creation.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Working with coaching questions - Any acronym like the Coaching ARROW or GROW is useful only insofar as it helps us remember the underlying principles. They are not intended to suggest that asking questions in sequence is all there is to effective coaching. In the same way musicians are taught to consider the value of the notes they do NOT play, coaches need to be taught that there are times when certain questions would do more harm than good.
  • Writing - Stop Procrastinating And Write More - One of the most common challenges writers face is procrastination. Since procrastination can destroy freelance writing careers, even before they begin, here are five tips which will help you to write more. 1.
  • The Gospel of Writing According to Marilyn: Chapters 3 - Chapter 3: Expressing What's In Our Hearts and Minds is a Direct Way to Access Your God, No Matter What Name You Use to Describe Him/Her Writing is a deceptively difficult art. It takes time, perseverance, patience, desire, and did I say, perseverance. Only write if you truly want to. As a writer I know put it, there are easier ways to be miserable. However, the rewards are great. Writing brings a feeling of power and freedom. And if you do it regularly and with consistency, you will get better. Through writing, we access the inner landscape of our soul.
  • Executive Coaching A Sucessful Venture - More and more companies are finding that executive coaching can help communication in the office. A business coach fulfils much the same purpose as a personal coach. In both cases, the coach helps to boost self-esteem, give suggestions on setting and achieving goals, and improve efficiency with regard to the goals you set. If you are having concerns about your ability to complete tasks or you are just confused as to what your job entails, executive coaching can help.Executive coaching can forward your career, but it isn't a guarantee to a promotion or raise.
  • Succeeding Areas Of The Business Coaching Cycle - Ever wondered why a business with potential for success is not really succeeding? Either there is too much fluctuation in the business or there is not consistency in clients or no consistency in the inflow of profits and income. You as a businessperson seem to be doing everything right but things don’t seem to be working for you, and you are not inclined to spend any more time or energy on it. This is where business coaching comes into the picture.
