1. Emergency Living

By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee There are times, when I am driving in my car being passed by so many other cars speeding along, that I could swear there is an emergency somewhere and I wasn't invited. It seems everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere. The other day I was sitting at a red light, the light turned green and the car in front of me sped away. At the next traffic light the same car was sitting in front of me and, when ... read more

3. Doing Less in More Time

By Jan Marie Dore Over the years, the compelling challenge of time, priorities, and life balance has been a frequently mentioned concern of individuals. Our lives have sped up so much that we often feel that we are losing track of who we are. And, in our rush to achieve ‘more’ in less time, the things that really are most important to us seem to always drop to the bottom of the priority list. We often approach our ... read more

6. A Sign Or Just A Rainbow?

By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee, PhD I believe in signs. I think what seems random or a coincidence is actually a sign. A sign can mean anything you want it to mean, such as “Times are getting better!” Or “Hang in there!” Signs are personal messages we receive from the universe. If we pay attention, signs will appear. I took my dogs for a walk right after a thunderstorm. We rounded a bend and saw two amazing rainbows stretched acr... read more

7. Why We Don't Write Our Books

By Suzanne Falter-Barns In the ten years that I¡¦ve taught people how to get on with their books, I¡¦ve noticed a phenomenon that I¡¦ll call ¡§Author¡¦s Block.¡¨ Would-be writers can, indeed, sit down and work when pressed to it. The problem is that they¡¦re not so sure they want the pressure of being an author. But they do want to. But they don¡¦t. And so on. Ah, the agony of getting on with your book. Well, I¡¦m he... read more

8. Why We Hate to Promote Ourselves

By Suzanne Falter-Barns In the last week or so, I've begun enrolling people in the next session of my Platform Push Coaching Program on my other site, www.getknownnow.com.

The course is demanding; it requires these coaching students to really make a commitment to building their platform. Over six months t... read more

9. You Can't Have An Intelligent Conversation With Everyone

By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee Intelligent conversation is one of life's pleasures. I love nothing better than to engage in conversation with someone who has ideas to share, different perspectives, and is interesting. An intelligent conversation is food for the brain. All too sadly, not everyone can carry on an intelligent conversation. This has less to do with their intelligence quotient (IQ) than with their emotional quotient... read more

10. Be Discontented With The Status Quo

By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee, PhD It is natural to be satisfied with the way things are; but the moment we settle for how things are, we give up the opportunity to experience how things could be. Life is evolutionary, but only if we allow it to be. If we choose to, we can get stuck in the comfort of the status quo and miss the real opportunities that require us to step into a bigger life. Many people in business are comfortable... read more

11. 30 Minutes That Could Save Your Dream

By Suzanne Falter-Barns If you’ve got a dream you’re intent on pursuing, chances are you’re going to bog down at some point. That’s just the way dreams are.

12. 8 Quick Ways to Nurture Your Creativity

13. If You Are Not Ready, Don't Start

By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee There are times when we feel we should take action, but feel stuck or unsure. Action does assist with moving forward, but the first question to ask is "Am I ready?". We might be willing and able, but if we are not ready we will have a false start. We will sabotage ourselves. Being ready is about commitment. Being ready is also a mindset. At times we have to be pretty fed up before we are reall... read more

15. A Live It

By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee Real change happens only when it becomes part of our everyday life. When a change becomes a habit, it isn't something new we are trying, but becomes part of what we do as our routine. I was reading a Wynona Judd interview and they asked her about her diet. She replied that she wasn't on a diet; she was on "A Live It." I thought this was great because the risk of a diet or any change is that we w... read more

17. Wouldn't It Be Nice if TIME Grew on Trees?

By Lori Radun The top two things that people seem to want more of are money and time. As a matter of fact, more money and more time are the top two issues people come to life coaches for (they also happen to be the top two excuses people use for not hiring a coach). It would be great if we had a money tree and a time tree in our backyard. That way if we ran out of either, we could just walk outside and pluck ... read more

By Beth Tabak "In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do. The worst thing you can do is nothing."
