New Years Eve 2004
Beannacht On the day when The weight deadens On your shoulders And you stumble, May the clay dance To balance you. And when your eyes Freeze behind The grey window And the ghost of loss Gets in to you, May a flock of colours Indigo, red, green And azure blue Come to awaken in you [...]
Fixing the kids’ Christmas presents
I remember when I was a child – many Christmas holidays would be spent watching my father trying to make things work properly – Presents that I had received but which malfunctioned. The books, toys and chocolate selections were no problem. Choccies and sweets demolished in 48 hours, books consumed within days – toys engaged. [...]
Christmas Eve
My wish for you is the realisation that your dreams can come true if…….. you never give up you never give up you never give up.
How call-in days work
Yesterday (Wednesday) was my last “call-in day” of the year. That means we open our on-line appointment scheduler (see www.appointmentquest.com) to our clients, so that they can book themselves in for a 15-minute laser coaching telephone call with me. I make the call to them from wherever I am (and whatever time zone I am [...]
Flying to Italy for Christmas
A very early start – 3.45am alarm call, 5.00am cab to the airport, 7.15am flight from Manchester to Milan – I am now at 25,000 feet above France and have just finished answering the overnight batch of emails. My eldest son Jonathan, 18, has been working North of Turin in the ski resorts and called [...]
Webinar truffle
Friday I facilitated our third quarter workshop for clients in the San Diego and New York “chapters” of the Million Dollar Coaching Practice programme – and worked for 8 hours with 20+ coaches – all from the comfort of my UK apartment. How? By using the Webinar technology (ASAP 2.0) offered at www.convoq.com. The software [...]
What is The Coaching Business School 2005?
I really “got it” on today’s call-in day with clients (15-minute laser coaching calls all day) that we deliver three outcomes in the CBS: 1. a template that I have used to create a 6/7 figure practice with 33% profit before tax for myself and 12 weeks vacation – and clients who rave about their [...]
Flying home
Enjoyed a fantastic team meeting with Jen and Barbara in Starbucks this morning. My clarity was around understanding that my practice cannot grow unless I offer them an equity participation in the business, as opposed to just being “on the payroll”. I love what I love to do – speak, coach and write. I hate [...]
Niagara Falls
We started our quarterly management meeting in the back of Russ’s limo this morning and chatted about the next 90-days, 12-months and three years as the car made it’s way to Niagara. Jen had organized this as a bit of a treat for Team CB after our work at the Live Event these last three [...]
Toronto
What on earth am I doing writing a blog entry on a Sunday morning? 1. Jet lag – haven’t slept past 4.30am since I’ve been here (5 days now); 2. Still in “work” mode. I finished my 2-day Coaching Business Forum last night with our 50 delegates and, this morning, I get to relax whilst [...]
