E-Mail: Formatting and spacing make a difference
| |
| When you are writing your emails, are you considering the reader's ease of reading? Think about the types of emails that you respond to quickly vs. the kind you put off until later. Are there any commonalities to the ease of reading? I bet in many instances there are. |

Don't settle, find a job you love!
| |
| Are you happy where you are career wise? Do you genuinely enjoy the work you do? Many people express their unhappiness at their current job, but very little spend the time researching why. Do you enjoy what you do but maybe not the environment or people you surround yourself by? Or, do you wake up day in and out dreading the day and work ahead? Once you determine the source of your unhappiness you can create a plan to move forward. |

Just do it!
| |
| You've tried several times to lose the weight, you've expressed interest in a new career move, you're tired of friends or colleagues taking advantage of you, or you've been seeking Mr or Mrs Right, however you've had a hard time either getting started in the first place or succeeding in your goal. How often have you told yourself, "I'll start tomorrow" or "I'll start next week"? It's easy to find excuses to put off your dreams, goals and aspirations. But where have the excuses gotten you?

Never stop challenging yourself~
| |
| How often do you really challenge yourself? This could be in your career, personal challenges, physical challenges, or any combination. For those of you that have been reading my tips for some time, you remember that I was persuaded by a good friend to sign up for a triathlon last summer. I loved the experience and was very proud of my commitment to the process. Well, this same friend just asked me if I would be interested in signing up for the MS150 with her. This event takes place in June and consists of riding my bike for 150 miles over two days. This would be a huge undertaking in which I would push and train myself harder than I ever have before. |

Enjoy your life more!
| |
| People are busier than ever between work, family, activities and volunteering to help others. Now add your blackberry, pager, internet, and other tech savvy gadgets. I once worked with a woman that was so busy with her life that she wasn't enjoying her life. She thought everything she had going on was so important, that keeping her cell phone attached to her hip every hour of the day was a necessity. She got caught up in the rat race of everything and needed some help taking a break and getting refocused. Do any of you feel like your days just blend together with a lack of direction or purpose? |

Give up excuses!
| |
| So, we all have excuses in life that we fall back on time and time again. Maybe because of difficult upbringings, or hardships, certain beliefs have laid their imprint on you. Excuses keep you from venturing forward, in that they keep you safe from possible heartbreak. Having an excuse excuses you from facing the truth, while keeping you in your comfort zone. |

Follow the 3 Cs to achieve long term goals
| |
| I tell my clients all the time how much I admire what they are doing and the risks they are willing to take. They are all seeking something specific in the process of working with a life coach and very few realize the transformation that is ahead for them. We all go through life overcoming obstacles and hurdles along the way. The key however to surpassing these hurdles and making life changes for good lies in the three C's; commitment, consistency and courage. |

How to Own a Business, Instead of a Job
| |
| Every business is owned by someone who took on a risk with their time and money. So I believe that person should be rewarded. Too often as business owners we forget to enjoy ourselves. We forget that we deserve to be paid far more than any of our employees. Every week for week after week we are often challenged financially. We work 60 hours or more a year and possibly take a few weeks holiday when business is quiet and customers aren't buying. If this sounds familiar I am about to reveal exactly what you have been looking for

How Smart Is Your Local Business Marketing?

| Local businesses tend to market locally and with the same approach. A flyer in the weekend paper and maybe some radio ads, and with the same offers week in, week out. This can definitely work, and weekend sales might be all you need to get by. But do you really want to continue just getting by at weekends, or do you want to be a business for every day of the week? |
