Musings from the Marathon (and How it Can Help Your Business)
| |
| Now that Iąve completed 3 marathons, Iąve come to the conclusion that I think every business owner and entrepreneur should complete a marathon at least once in their life. No, not because I want partners to share in the torture and agony, but for the same reasons why I do. Let me explain.

Confidence
| |
| Over the span of 15 years, I have run more than 40 marathons - NYC, Boston, Chicago, Berlin, Stockholm, Dublin, Quebec City and St. Louis, to name but a few. Running grants me confidence and a positive outlook on everything. Even on my worst days, I gain inner strength and personal satisfaction simply from trying. Whatever your own personal marathon, I believe that the same mind-set I use in prepping for long-distance events may speak to you as well. These are a set of values to keep in mind when you're setting out to accomplish any worthwhile goal. |

Did you know that most runners who drop out of marathons do so around mile 20 to 22? After all the training, all the effort, what happens? Is it just too much on them physically? The research indicates that the reasons are mainly psychological. |

Competition or Cooperation?
| |
| Today I want to address one of the fundamental keys of the Law of Attraction that is little known by many business owners and entrepreneurs.
In the United States, Americans are taught early on that competition is healthy and that it's always best to "be number one."
However when using the Law of Attraction, we find that like energy attracts like energy. This means that every time we think about competing, or what our competitors are doing, or how can I out-sell my competitors-
WE ARE ACTUALLY ATTRACTING MORE COMPETITION TO US. |

Find the right coach
| |
| You’ve heard about coaching or met people who have found coaching beneficial. You’re not quite satisfied with your life in some way but either you can’t see how to improve it or you know what needs to be done but can’t quite get started. You know that if you feel great about your life you’ll have more to put into your business and you’ll get more from it. You understand that coaching could help you sooner rather than later but how do you find the right coach?
