Last year, I quit my full-time job, closed down my coaching practice, rented out my condo to incredible tenants and moved to Europe to explore my extreme dream of moving to Spain and Portugal. Life had taken an incredible turn for me when I designed this new path of deliberate creation and flow. It seemed nothing could go wrong.
I moved back to the States in the summer of 2007 not knowing what would be next for me. Would I start my coaching practice again or would I get a full-time job.?After sitting in the stillness for about one month, it seemed my answer found me instead of my searching for it. Former coaching clients began calling me up and I decided to explore full-time entrepreneurship: My other extreme dream.

Have you ever come to the end of your day and felt you didn’t get anything done? Most of us would say an unproductive day is due to our lack of organizational skills.

Coaching is a partnership between a coach and an individual that supports the achievement of results, based on goals set by the individual.
The individual chooses the focus of the ‘conversation’, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions as well as concepts and principles which can assist in generating possibilities, potential and actions. Coaching can be seen as a collaborative process in which clients discover answers for themselves through the coach’s use of questions. Through the coaching process the clarity that is needed to support the most effective actions is achieved.

Creativity is as personal and unique as a fingerprint. No two people are the same, so the art of two people will not be the same. Despite this, we often have unrealistic expectations of ourselves to produce work that’s just like that of our creative heroes or role models. Doing this we automatically sabotage ourselves either way.
If we DON’T produce art just like that of our heroes, we berate ourselves for being inadequate or a pretender or impostor. We may question our abilities and in moments of extreme doubt even wonder why we bother picking up our tools to create at all.

To most people, goal setting plans are sets of glorified to-do lists. To them, setting personal goals means simply taking a piece of paper and write down what is it that they want to become and leave it as that. They write down things like I want to be healthier or I want to become richer. This concept is a false representation of the process of goal setting.
Why is goal setting not a set of glorified tasks from a to-do list ? Well, goal setting is a planning process. Although in its planning process, it may involve tasks or mini goals, these mini goals are by no means independent of each other unlike a straight to-do list. In fact, these mini goals are interdependent on each other.
