Positive consequences of having a sensitive nature as a business person
I define a sensitive person as someone who is affected more than average by their environment and especially by other people’s reactions and emotions.
Traditionally, that trait is viewed as a negative, as something that must be overcome. But that point of view overlooks that being sensitive is also a gift.
Here are 5 of the ways [...]
What am I doing here?
How often do you ask yourself that question? If you’re like most people on the planet including me, not often enough.
Most of us get carried away with our schedules, our action plans, our to-do lists. You can even get carried away by your intentions if you haven’t re-visited them lately.
How can that be; isn’t setting [...]
The real reason coaches and heart-based service providers have a hard time making enough money – Part 3
So far, I’ve talked about:
The apparent reasons that may be true enough but aren’t the real cause of coaches’ lack of success.
Three related reasons that relate to marketing fundamentals
Three mindset reasons
Now it’s time to talk about the seventh and last reason why coaches and other spiritual entrepreneurs don’t make enough money.
Coaches’ work is quite personalized [...]
The real reason coaches and heart-based service providers have a hard time making enough money – Part 2
Part 1 of this topic talked about how coaches and spiritual entrepreneurs need to showcase their practical value to their target market instead of being vague, which by definition means non-urgent.
Here I’d like to cover three more reasons why coaches, holistic practitioners and spiritual entrepreneurs often have a hard time being as successful as they [...]
The real reasons coaches & heart-based service providers have a hard time making enough money – Part 1
In the previous post I listed some of the usual reasons coaches give for having too small an income.
One of them was that people aren’t willing to spend on coaching in this economy, considering it personal development that can wait for easier cash-flow times.
That’s true enough, but only if the following 3 conditions:
Coaches are offering [...]
The Apparent Reasons Coaches & Heart-Based Service Providers Have A Hard Time Making Enough Money
I bet you can recognize most of these:
In this economy, fewer people are willing to invest in personal development
People want a quick fix
There are too many coaches
It takes a lot of educating for people to “get” what coaching can do
I’m sure you can add a few more to the list, but that’s a good [...]
Another reason to stick to a niche: it gives you freedom
That might strike you as a little counter-intuitive. After all, a lot of people resist the idea of concentrating on a business niche because they don’t want to miss out on all the other great business prospects out there.
Some also worry that they might run out of ideas in that “restricted” subject area, or that [...]
How to make money from your unconscious competence
Most of us underestimate ourselves. We take for granted our natural gifts because they are, well, natural, so we don’t have to think much about it when we do “our thing”.
Not only that, we think that no one would pay us for doing such a simple thing.
Do you recognize yourself here? Spend a few minutes [...]
Entropy and what that means to your life
Entropy is a law of thermodynamic physics and I’ll spare you its formula and exact scientific definition.
A “lay person’s” definition, according to “thefreedictionary.com” is:
“The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity”, or “The inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society”
Ok, so…how is that relevant [...]
The dance between long-term and short-term goals
Too Short
Have you ever had the experience of being really busy all day and at the end of it, wondering what the heck you accomplished?
Or of getting the job done by being really focused for days/weeks/months or even years, then taking a step back at the end of it all and realizing that you would [...]
