Almost always, "both parties will benefit more by working together than working against each other"!
What really stops some coaches is that they play the whole business game by themselves and their weak parts become an impediment.
if you don't want to do accounting, get someone that can! Just letting it side will be your downfall.
Cheers!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!
Testimonials and satisfied clients are far more important than a signed document saying that you took some classes.
Of course, for new coaches, there's often a lot of "How would listen to me?" or some insecurity about their abilities. A certification is often just what's needed to validate them enough to go out and talk to prospects.
There's nothing wrong with certifications. Training can certainly help coaches learn some skills they don't even know they need. Having a national or international certifying body is also good for keep scammers out of the system.
Cheers!

The RS feed is up at the top right. You can sign up when you click POSTS or BY EMAIL.
Or you could sign up in the JOIN IN box and you'll get the blog posts in email.
Look forward to talking sometime.
Cheers!

The Law of Attraction mistake is that if you wish for it hard enough, it will just happen. I believe that the Law is merely a focusing of intention. And when you're focused on your goal, you do the things you need to do to get it. There is no magic in it.
Choose your target, be positive, go get it. Sadly, too many just do the first two and hope it will appear.
You gotta do the work, people!
(And change your perspective so that it's not a horrible thing that stops you. It's just some steps you have to take on the way to your success.)
Cheers!

Of course, you won't be a complete success JUST by being great with people. That was not my intended meaning. The main point of the post is that you definitely need to focus on marketing and running the business as a business.
AND... if you're not great with you people, as a person and as a coach, then you definitely won't succeed either.
It's a shame that most coaches don't earn what they could. And it's my experience it is because of just that thing that we're both pointing at. They don't do everything necessary to run a business. Most coaches just want to get to the coaching and hope all the rest just works out.
Cheers!

Might have to take a closer look at Sticky Password, too!
For filling in anything anywhere, I used to use ShortKeys, but now use Texter from the LifeHacker folks. It's really good. (Maybe I should make that a post, too!)
Thanks for coming back, too.
Cheers!

I'll have a look at Sticky Password.
I don't use the toolbar in Roboform. Just have it set up to pop up when it knows a password I've saved.
Cheers!
