life coaching

Hiked yesterday and loved it – truly magical. Meeting nice women with the kind of energy I’m seeking. Feels good. (Maybe a partner is not critical – maybe I just want this energy).

Meeting more people – and thinking would like to meet more people through yoga, and 5 rhythms dancing. (Not that I’m into dancing so much, but I really enjoy the people who are!) Also the Wed night skate, and orgasmic meditation are invitations which draw me. More incense and candles basically.

Using the online dating sites a lot – I figure I should fully have the experience before the phase passes. (quite similar to computer game addiction, or any other addiction really). It’s fascinating to watch myself do this because I’m meeting women every week through parties, friends, or even on the subway. So why do I play with the dating sites, where I seem to be Searching for a magical being in a muggle stream? I think because it’s entertaining.

I’m feeling funny about working – often just wanting to avoid it, escape, like it’s too much to handle. Maybe too many projects. Not sure what the resistance is. The projects really have value to people though, and will bring in revenue, so I plough forth. I actually have a big store of IP to release to the public.

Loving the freedom of not HAVING to do anything, and being in my quiet apartment in NY. And already I have tickets to Germany July 12 to do Paul Lowe and see Sonja. Considering Young Entrepreneurs Conference in Chicago, Burning Man, Harbin Hot Springs. That would probably be way too much travel for this extroverted hermit 😉

Noticing how beautiful some of the men in my life are. Appreciating the masculine energy around me as well as the feminine.

Love and fun,
David

I’m in Oz right now, hanging in Cessnock with my parents.

That’s about 2 hours North of Sydney.

Here are my two highlights so far:

– lying under the stars holding my Mum, and us both crying fully at our pain of losing Bronwyn (the woman I proposed to) and Katherine (my sister, when I was young). I’ve only let myself go like that in front of about 5 people in my life, and never my parents. And I’ve never seen her cry like that. It was a very healing experience, and a very powerful step forward in our relationship.

– I found out the guy who was Mum’s ‘second father’growing up has Alzheimers and is in a home. Mum confessed she’s been too chicken to visit him becausethey said he wouldn’t know her. So I took her out to the home. It was such a moving experience – after 10 minutes he knew her. And I felt I deeply connected with him. Looking into his eyes reminder me of looking into the eyes of a 2 year old. Just there, present, vulnerable, soaking you in.
96 year’s old! He wants to leave this Earth. He says often things get worse and he feels it’s time to go, then he just gets better again.
At the end he looked me in the eye and said ‘Good luck to you’.
I put my hand on his heart and and said ‘And good luck to YOU’.

David in Oz.

I just realised I have three wonderful, powerful women working for me, whom I’ve never met.

RIDDLE:
What do you call a man who has three women working for him, who he’s never met?

I am writing an article on ‘how to travel and make money at the same time’.

P.S. Looking for More Clients?

Want to Host this Quiz/Report on Your Site?

How would you like to be the coach listed on the goals report above?

i.e. Where it says ‘SolutionBox’ at the page above, would you like it to say your name, your company, and your logo?

Instead of web visitors passing you by, wouldn’t you prefer to engage them with a valuable, interactive quiz?

And when the report is filled in, would you like to get a copy, with an invitation to email or call a potential client?

Just fill in the quiz above so you can see how it all works. And keep a look out for the ‘Want this form on your site’ link.

And it doesn’t cost a thing! (I know – I’m wonderful, I’m amazing, it’s too much – no, stop it, really…..)

I’ve long been drawn to this concept, as I think many of us are. Recently I got clarity on what I’m up to on the planet. The difference I want to make, and how I can make it. Here’s what’s coming up:

PURPOSE:

To open people. So they can enjoy their lives filled with love, laughter and adventure.

MISSION (the how):

Triple the incidence of people using personal growth tools. i.e. coaching, therapy, healers, workshops, books, CD’s etc.

STRATEGY

1) Train coaches and other professionals in the business skills they need to attract clients (already doing this it seems through SolutionBox.com)

2) Create a coaching company which employs coaches, and markets for them, providing them with clients.

i.e. Marketing for GREAT coaches who can’t market themselves

Let’s flesh out this second idea a little…

PRINCIPLES/ADVANTAGES OF COACHING COMPANY

– one powerful, recognized brand

– get some big names on the board to support the brand and awareness

– centralized marketing (TV & radio ads, TV & radio interviews, PR/press releases, internet marketing – PPC & SEO)

– quality/screened coaches

– measuring success of clients

– company matches you with the right coach, and switches you mid-way if necessary.

– provides

– focusing on clients who will make the biggest impact on society

– encourages not just coaching, but CD sets, books, workshops. Coaching is kind of on the back end.

– Customers given a choice to click on affiliate or non-affiliate links to products we recommend

– Partners with companies that have the front end products, but no coaches on the backend.

– not-for-profit?
