Internet Marketing for Coaches?
January 24, 2010
If you are like me, you like to have an online business as well as an offline business (face to face, in person). While I like meeting people in person, there is an element of on line business and marketing that is attractive to me. And so I took the plunge and tap into the potential of internet marketing.
Now one of the greatest marketers on the internet has released his "masterpiece" for online success. Take a closer look. He has authoritative and proven strategies and detailed implementation steps that you can follow in his course. He is sharing a system that earns him $15 million dollars in revenue just last year. Pretty big huh. Here's how:
Something to check out? It's over 54 hours of audio. Over 900 pages, front and back of detailed instructions. And it took over 13 months to produce. This course is easily the most comprehensive package on how to succeed online ever produced, by anyone.
Your Thoughts And Your Reality
January 22, 2010
One minute can seem like a really long time when we are trying to focus or "endure". When we are faced with situations that are less favorable, there are different choices that we can make.
Each decision will bring with it different outcomes. Many times we may be able to change the situation, sometimes we cannot. The more you want to change the situation the more frustrated and stress-out you get. So what do you do?
Coaches and NLP people talk of reframing and taking a different perspective. Reframing or adopting a different perspective is not an escape route to avoid reality, but a way to master our mind and the voices that are trying to control us. This young Ninja has an insight for us.
Action item:
- What are the flies bothering you right now?
- How do you maintain the peace and calmness in your heart?
- What actions or behaviors will get you the results you want?
- How can you maintain focus doing what you have set out to do and not let the flies distract you?
Emotion is a powerful thing and having control over our emotions is more important that we realize. Uncontrolled emotions can lead us astray. Try reframing and get into your most powerful and resourceful state. Remember too that what you focus on will expand. So what will you focus your energy on? That which bothers you or the result which you want to create?
Ancient Chinese sages have a saying for us: when the heart is calm and quiet, you will naturally feel "cool" (心靜自然凉). So what is your reality today?

The Music Of Hope And The Sound Of Promise
January 14, 2010
Nobuyuki Tsujii was 20 when he was awarded Gold Medallist at the prestigious Van Cliburn international piano competition in 2009. In fact, he started winning national awards when he was 7 and has since performed in Carnegie Hall and Tchaikovsky Conservatory among other renowned concert halls. He is known for his refined and effortless playing and keeps is audience spell bound from beginning to the end.
Yet this Tsuijii's message for us – "There are no barriers in the field of music."
Patrick Henry Hughes is 21, wheelchair bound and born totally blind. Who would have thought that his fingers could glide and fly across the keyboard as he played Claire De Lune so passionately?
I was drawn by Patrick's attitude and philosophy of life. Where most would be angry with life and cry "unfair", Patrick is grateful for what he has. "God made me blind and didn't give me the ability to walk. Big deal. He gave me the talent to play piano and trumpet and all that good stuff." says Patrick.
He isn't fazed by what many of us would consider as insurmountable obstacles. Nothing seems to be too difficult for him. He attends University, enjoys life and plays in the local marching band. Yes. You have to watch this video clip to "see" what I mean.
I am inspired by these heroes (including Patrick's and Tsujii's parents and support groups). They see opportunities in their difficult situations, they find a way around their limitations, work hard towards their dream and smile their way through life's challenges. They do not waste their lives mourning for what they cannot have, they rejoice in what they do have and make beautiful music out of it.
The next time you feel beaten and discouraged, remember the Helen Kellers (both blind and deaf) and the Stevie Wonders, the Tsujiis and the Hughes. It's time to focus on what we can do and what we do have. Because "What we focus on will expand", Cheri Huber.
Action item? May be a good idea to list 3 things that are challenging you now and find out who else have overcome those challenges and how they did it. You may get different results from them yet their stories will warm your hearts and give you the sound of Promise.
If you find these heroes inspiring, press the "share this" button or the "retweet" button if you have a twitter account. You never know who may be encouraged by their music and it does not cost you anything to do this. Thank you for sharing.
Other inspirational stories can be seen in Jonathan Livingston, Nick Vujicic, the Hoyts and from those who believe and anywhere else you may care to look.
