Happy 4th of July weekend!

I am coming up for air after a whole lot of crazy-cool work to prepare for the pre-sale and launch of Life on Your Terms. I spent the last two days proofing more than 66,000 words. Thank GOD for professional designers and editors.

Writing, editing and publishing a book turned out to be a much larger project than I’d ever expected it would be. I found myself calling in all of the techniques learned as a coach to stay as balanced as possible through this enormous undertaking.

The professional support of a number of brilliant people made this book come together.

I am in awe of the process. I am in awe of the brilliant entrepreneurs involved in the project. I am in awe of each person who volunteered to step and help me. And finally, I am grateful to my family and close friends for supporting me through an experience,  that on some days felt like a manic ride!

This weekend I will be celebrating our nation’s independence while celebrating the completion of a manuscript dedicated to the sharing of stories about personal liberation.  How cool is that?

Perfect Timing!

It requires profound vision to see the path of liberation.

To all of the men and women who fought for our nation’s freedom,  and to all of the entrepreneurs who seek to lead each of us to personal freedom, this book is respectfully dedicated.

More details about the Life on Your Terms pre-launch promotion coming soon!

“Freedom lies in being bold.” - Robert Frost

My friend and sister entrepreneur wrote a great article about her experience  hiring and working with a professional coach. If you have ever considered working with a transition coach this post will help you make an informed decision.

• I’m stuck. My business has been moving along for the past few years, but I feel like I’m in a rut, doing the same old things the same old way. Or, I’m new at this business, and can’t figure out my next step, but don’t want to (or can’t) take too much time and energy away from my work.’

Why reinvent the wheel? Whether you’re a new business owner or a seasoned entrepreneur who just needs a new perspective, you can benefit from a coach who has direct experience in building a business. A good coach can help you choose your direction and give you action steps to reach your goal.

• I want more; Clients, income, time. These are three things I never seem to have enough of. It’s time to move to the next level!

Who better to help see you toward your goals than someone who has been successful him/herself? Growing your business involves calculated risks and a leap of faith. A good coach can help you assess your readiness for growth allowing you to carefully look before you leap!

• I’m out of ideas. I want to create a new product or program, but I’m not sure where to begin. What are my options?

Not knowing what’s out there, what the market trends are, and what works / doesn’t work is often a hurdle to starting a new product or offering a new service. Why not brainstorm with someone who has their ear to the ground in the online market? A seasoned coach can help you develop your ideas, become more market-savvy and avoid pitfalls.

• I know what to do, but I need a push. I have all the tools and knowledge I need to reach my goal/create and roll out my new product or service. The only obstacle in my way is ME.

You need somebody to answer to besides yourself. A reliable coach can help you set goals and will hold you accountable, so you’ll stop procrastinating and start succeeding.

• I’m burned out! Truthfully, I’m not enjoying myself, and I’m not sure I want to be in this business anymore.

Before you give up all you have worked for, consult someone who has been there. A coach can help you identify what aspects of your business are causing you distress, and do something about it. Whether you need to let go of a few things, or make a radical shift in your business model, it helps to have someone at your side who can help you sort things out,be your biggest cheerleader, and offer workable solutions so you can do what you love, and love what you do.

Hiring a coach was one of the best things I have done to help me navigate my business through growth, change, and some tough economic times.  If you are at a crossroads in your business, it may be time to consider working with a coach. It is an investment that can save you time, money, and sanity as you build your business!
