THINK BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE
You need to always dream big and achieve your dreams. This is only possible when you think beyond what you see and try to catch it. Always remember that vision is ageless and timeless so possess it.

American Rejection - Successful entrepreneurs must ignore the experts!
Did you know that American Idol was turned down by every major network! That’s right every major network told Simon Cowell to get lost! Luckily Rupert Murdock’s daughter heard about the pitch and pulled on Daddy’s heart strings and he talked Fox into picking it up.
Are you ready for a Life Coach?
The answer is YES! The real challenge is most people do not have a strong enough self image to hire a coach. They simply hide behind the ”I can’t afford it” or the ”When I get successful, I'll hire a coach.”
Can you really help your employees get promoted?
Why is it most employees don’t want to get promoted? I could never figure that out. Sure they want and even need more money but they always have an excuse on why they are not able to grow. You may even over extend at times and give them free seminar tickets or golden opportunities, only to hear them come up with great excuses why they can’t make it. I recently asked leadership legend John Maxwell what things he was thinking on currently and he said something amazing.

Communication,Sex and Money
Three of the most important things in life and yet 3 things most people do not talk about. Even with their spouses!

Don't wait for a BAIL OUT, Bail yourself out!
Can you imagine a Final Four half time locker room scenario where the team is down and the coach says “Hey guys don’t worry, the NCAA has a bail out package for us.”
The True Colors of struggle
The key here is to embrace the struggle. Why? Because it’s going to come, period. It’s a 100% guarantee that you will struggle at times in your life. It‘s like death, people are so afraid of death yet it’s the one thing you know with total certainty that it will happen. Let’s get back to embracing the struggle. As the #1 Online Life Coach I have some ultra successful high end clients and one of the most popular questions is: “Evan, why is it so hard? “ My answer is why is it so hard for them to understand that the struggle is what brings out the greatness. The struggle in the gym is what makes the champion athlete, the struggle in the cocoon is what properly develops the butterfly’s wings, the struggle in refining Gold and Diamonds is what makes these stones so precious.

Unleash the entrepreneur within!
It's not for everyone! As the #1 Online Life Coach this has been a huge breakthrough for many people when they realize that they simply are not cut out to be an entrepreneur, and it's ok. J. Paul Getty in his book How to be Rich talked about the three types of men/employees. The first is just a job mentality type, this person is also known as a Mr. Steady. They feel more comfortable being in a system that someone else creates, they just want to do their job and leave at 5pm. Most of these types take pride in their job and if they need to work some overtime they will, however it will be the first thing they complain about. Regardless they will do their job and show up every day and expect to get paid every two weeks regardless of what is going on in the company.

What is Online Life Coaching?
In the same vein of online higher education we have online Life Coaching. Because of technology top Life Coaches can now reach large numbers of people without giving up their time. This allows for greatly reduced prices which now gives the struggling executive who wants to get promoted access to the same caliber of coaching his CEO is getting.
When to say no to a deal. If you want grow say no!
Wait, before you say, "I did this really small job and it lead to a bigger one, so I never turn down a deal." If you want to think that way, it's OK, but if you want to get to the next level, you need to think differently. I have a very successful client in Hollywood that I work with, he hired me to help him make the jump to the elite level of 8 figure deals. I told him the same thing I'm telling you, say, "No to 80%." He was so challenged by this until I explained to him that the deals he was getting now were the ones turned down by the elite level 8 figure guys. If you want 8 figure deals you have think like an 8 figure guy and NOT take 6 figure deals.

Tiger Woods needs a Life Coach and so do you!
Dear Tiger, as the #1 Online Life Coach I’m here to remind you that, you do not have ” rights” you only have “responsibilities.” You chose to enter the public realm of Pro sports and you chose to accept the benefits of being a household name. Because of this you surrendered your rights of personal privacy. Do I agree with you that you should have some privacy? Yes! But that doesn’t matter, the world does not work like that anymore. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. Your squeaky clean image is what repelled the tabloids for the last 10 years. They don’t want to report on a functional family and the moment you chose to be dysfunctional, you sent them a personal invitation to turn your life upside down.

Successful People Create Their Dream and Make it a Reality
Develop a clarity of purpose for your career and life. Your clarity of purpose and direction is where it all begins. To develop your personal clarity or purpose you need to do three things. First, define what success means to you. Second, create a vivid mental image of you as a success. Third, clarify your personal values. Once you define what success means to you personally, I suggest that you develop a clear mental picture of you as a success. This image should be as vivid as you can you make it.
Create a Vivid Mental Image of Your Success
Successful people define what success means to them. Then they develop a compelling and clear mental image of their success. They use this mental image to help keep their dreams alive and to keep moving forward to what they want in their lives and careers. Creating a vivid mental image of your success is not day dreaming. It's real work -- it's the work of designing your future, so you can take the steps necessary to create it.

What Do You Really Want - a Job or a 'Calling'?
Knowing what you want in your life and career is the most important step to achieving it. So what do you want – a job or a “calling,” and are you prepared to get it?
You Can Be A Leader With A Vision
Leaders need a vision to help them guide their followers. Read this article to find out how you are a leader and get some ideas of why you really need a vision.

Strive for Harmony, not Balance!
Balance is impossible! Just ask any entrepreneur about balance in his business or talk to a new mother about balance! Ask the newlyweds about balance or an Olympic athlete about balance. It doesn't exist in their world. As the #1 Online Life Coach I'm here to tell you that doing anything of great value requires you to be out of balance.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE LIVING SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM
Are you working for someone else's dream when you have one of your own? For years I did and didn’t like it. In fact it made me crazy sometimes, I even thought myself a coward for not acting!

Pursuing your own Goals
Recently, I made one of my rare and infrequent trips to a retail store. It's not that I don't like to buy things. I simply do not enjoy the process of shopping, so I leave it to others. While at the store, I took the opportunity to observe people who had selected the items they wished to purchase and were waiting to pay for their items in the checkout line. Some people simply picked the nearest line, stood in the back, and waited. Others roamed back and forth looking for the shortest line and waited there. Then there was the third group of shoppers who constantly got out of one line and got into another, thinking they would save time by getting in the faster-moving line.

Chasing the dream!
Dreams are part of life and a common phenomena amonst most people, but are they realistic?

A Vision Energizes and Motivates
A vision guides you in your career. It gives your life and work meaning. If you are working 8+ hours a day and feel stuck, thinking about your dream may be just the catalyst you need to feel inspired to move forward or to make a career change.
Business Opportunity From Dream To Reality
Business opportunity should not be taken lightly. When you make the decision to become a business owner it should be for the right reasons. If you are not 100% committed to your product or service you will surely fail. No one would purchase anything from you that you did not believe in yourself. The goal of every business is to make money. In order to have a successful business you must have customers who will purchase your product or service. The more customers you have the more successful and profitable your business will be. It takes time and effort to achieve success in any business opportunity.

DOES HOPE FLOAT?
Charlie Brown, the little neurotic fellow we have all come to know and love is an eternal optimist when it comes to kicking a football. No matter how many times Lucy pulls the ball away he always hopes that the next time she will let him kick it. In a way we are all like Charlie, no matter how often we hope, regardless of the outcome we always come back to it again and again. Because we have come to know that on those rare occasions we realize our hopes. There is another reason though for clinging to our hopes, a much more powerful reason in fact

You Are Here
As a blind person myself, I am always intrigued with the way that sighted people get or fail to get from point A to point B. It is fascinating to me that people who can see perfectly spend a great deal of their time being lost. Recently, I made one of my rare trips to a giant shopping mall. As usual, I was listening to all the conversations going on around me. I discovered that most people spend a great deal of effort during their shopping experience trying to figure out where they are in relation to where they wish they were.

Close Your Eyes and Dream
Despite what Wes Craven would have you believe, dreams cannot harm you, but they can help you immensely. Not the ones you have when you're sleeping, but the ones you hold in your heart ... your fondest desires. Those dreams can shape your reality if you take the time to give them life ... to visualize them. Do you ever wonder about the self-confidence that successful people always seem to have? It's that self-confidence that got them where they wanted to be. They focused on the goal and the mind and body made it happen.

Dare to Dream Its the First Step
Do you remember your childhood dreams of career choices, the man/woman of your dreams, or the prized sports car? Did you replace them with new dreams as you got older as most people do? Have you attained your dreams? If not, why?

What's Your Dream Worth?
Anyone who’s known me for more than 90 seconds knows that the words “Dream Big” show up a LOT in my life. You’ll see them at the end of every one of my emails and just about everywhere else in my digital “footprint” not just as an upbeat catchphrase, but because these words have real meaning for me and for my family. When you’re powered by a dream that truly inspires you, you’re going to be unstoppable. I was reminded of this again in a vivid way as I experienced the Walt Disney World theme park through the eyes of my daughter Jayden this week.

Martin Luther King Day is For Work
I’m writing this as we approach Martin Luther King Day on which many businesses and institutions are closed but my office will be open for business on his day. Like many national holidays, ML King Day is anticipated by many as a day to sleep in a bit, putter around the house, perhaps attending a parade or just hanging out. Obviously, I feel differently about it. To me, Dr. King and his legacy are about opportunity and dreams. My dream was to own a business.
The “adjacent possibility”
A few years ago biologist and researcher Stuart Kauffman came up with a term he called “the adjacent possible.” It’s a complex theory but here’s a simple way to look at it. Think of being in a house that magically expands with every door you open. You walk into a room and see three more doors leading out. Once you open one of those doors you enter another room with another three doors leading to yet new rooms. Keep opening doors and eventually you’ll realize you’re in an expanding palace.
Open Door - Right Direction?
Here’s a reader question: Dan, My big goal is to start a business and I’ve taken the first few steps. My broad goal is simply to find a different job. It’s funny though – the more I work on my business plan, the more interviews and job opportunities come open to me. I’m not sure if it’s a sign that I’m really headed on the right track (and the other jobs are distractions) or if it’s a sign that there’s something else out there for me (just a different job, not my own business). How do you figure that out?

Profitable Online Home Based Business Ideas and the Recession; If We can do it You can Too!
I can still remember the times Charmayne and I would dream and talk about the day we could stay home and just work our online in-home business full time. Sometimes it just seemed a far off dream. But we wanted that more than anything, and even during the difficult times when it seemed like it would never happen, we just believed that it would. We had met people that had started out just like us, with only a dream. We are nobody special; we just knew that if they could do it we could too!
Sometimes the Emotion doesn't fit the Desire

Financial freedom is your dream. As long as you can dream, you can continue to succeed. Show me a person who has no dream, and I will show you someone who is poor. A millionaire dreams, and then sets out to make those dreams real. Once you stop dreaming, you stop the magic. That’s because you have created the world you wanted. You stop moving forward, because your dreams have ended. Either you are content to live with what you have or you are constantly frustrated because you don’t have enough-or you learn to dream again.
