How to be more successful than you ever have been
A few weeks ago I wrote: “I’m excited to be able to report that I am now convinced that you can drastically increase your ability to be significantly more successful in all areas of life, including your ability to make more money and accumulate more wealth.” When I wrote that I wasn't sure how to do it; I was only confident that it could be done. As I’ve written in the past, one of my favorite things is to promise to do something I don’t know how to do and then figure out how to do it. Well, I finally [...]
How to be more successful than you ever have been
I’ve just realized that it is definitely possible to do something that I hadn’t thought could be done: Significantly increase one’s ability to become wealthy. Most people. Most of the time. For years I knew that people could make radical changes in their behavior and stop their negative feelings. In other words, it was relatively easy to stop the “negative.” It was quite another thing to be able to create a “positive.” Especially a positive “reality.” There are too many things involved in having the perfect life partner show up other than merely getting rid of limiting beliefs and occurrings. [...]
If only…
Most of us live in a world of, “If only … things would all work out, I’d be successful, and I’d be happy” If only I had more money, all my problems would disappear. If only I loved someone who really loved me, my life would be complete. If only I weighed less and looked better, I’d be happy. If only …. If only …. Stop for a minute and reflect: How often do you live in a world of, “If only ….”? The underlying premise of, “If only something were different,” is that most, if not all, of your [...]
Create your ideal future
What we imagine our future to be is usually based on our past. In other words, we use our experience of the past to determine what's possible for us in the future and then to create goals for the future. That approach limits our possible future to our experiences in the past. For example, if we’ve tried to create something in the past, be it a new relationship, a new business, or a new job, and we failed whenever we tried, we would likely not set similar goals in the future. Our future is not determined by our past, but [...]
You won’t look for something that you don’t think exists
If you know what you are looking for, Google and the Internet have made it possible to find information about it—whatever it is—in a matter of seconds. If you want to improve your life you can search for help in dealing with any problem you could possibly have and find thousands of sites offering help in less than a second. Because that is possible, people who offer solutions to common problems put the words and phrases that people are likely to search for (such as “improve self-esteem,” “end procrastination,” “overcome fear of public speaking,” and “how to improve relationships”) in [...]
What does a life coach have that you don't have?
Why has there been such a dramatic growth in the number of life coaches for individuals and executive coaches for business managers and executives? I think we can agree that people who hire a coach are looking to improve their state of affairs; in other words, they want to change their behavior or change their circumstances. People hiring life coaches want help in achieving their life goals, improving their relationships, dealing with others more effectively, making more money, etc. Businesspeople hiring executive coaches either want to overcome some problem behavior, such as not taking action due to a fear of [...]

It Can’t Be Done
“It can’t be done” is never the truth What people really are saying when they utter these words is: “I don’t how how to do it.” Or, “it can’t be done the way we’ve always tried in the past.” Or, “it can’t be done according to the only way I can think of doing it.” Here’s why “it can’t be done” is never an accurate statement, no matter what you are referring to It is impossible to know anything, for certain, about the future. Given what we know we might be able to make reasonable predictions about the future, but [...]
