I relish spending each moment I coach others to do life “their” way, whatever that might be.  

Coaching might be teaching companies to have kick-ass, insanely productive teams, teaching leaders to be result drivers, teaching a woman business owner to let go of being a slave to her company ... Or I might just coach an executive right out of his job and into living his life long dream of being a successful photographer or business owner!

Oddly, intentionally designing a life unique to you can be an arduous and frightening task for clients. People think they’re free, though a rare and precious few actually are.  I mean really, who actually wants to sit in a cubical or office 5 days a week for 7-10 hrs.  Almost NO ONE!  Yet, the vast majority do.  Theirs nothing wrong with this, it’s just that in my experience, most who get up each day and do essentially the same thing day after day, week after week are incredibly bored, have low sex drives, are over-weight, bicker with their partners, and have low to high levels of depression or anxiety.  I simply stand for fun, freedom, creativity and living a dreamy lifestyle!  How about you?  How do you want to live?  What do you want to experience? Do you really want to wait til you retire to live, travel, spend your money?  

Take Action!
Begin playing at least 10 minutes a day!  This will kick start your playful nature and creativity (this will benefit you at home and at work).  Then, make a top ten list of cool stuff you wanna do before you’re too old to do it!  Start with “doable” and end with outrageous (Travel to the Grand Canyon.... ride an ostrich!)

What your heart desires is play & freedom!  Being outdoors.  Skipping round the block or climbing trees. You do things like eat and drink too much, shop or watch too much TV, or even work too much just because you’re so stinkin’ bored!  You see, we have an innate playful, freedom-seeking nature that NEVER goes away, you simply stopped feeding it somewhere along the way.

We think “I have to grow up now”, “I have to get a REAL jpb”, I can’t just keep messing around”.  Ummm... WHY?  Who’s to say what a real job is or isn’t or what grown up is or isn’t?  The real key to being happy is DOING LIFE YOUR WAY...  You likely don’t have much idea of what that is yet, not because you’re dumb, but because you’ve not allowed yourself to dream about living your wildest dreams!  If fact, it takes most clients weeks or months to begin dreaming big!  But, this dreaming will be the most extraordinary gift you ever give yourself!

The bottom line is, you can make as much or as little money as you like AND do whatever the hell you want.  Stop worrying about being “responsible and approved of”.  Map out a plan to live as you’d really like!

Good luck!  And call if you need help!
