		<title>Free to suffer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite poet is David Whyte.  His work is best enjoyed after meditation, with a hot mug of tea and an open heart. Here is one of my favorites because it speaks to the part of me that realized it is free to suffer, because I am human, not forced to suffer because I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What did you love doing as a kid?  It is usually a good indicator of what you'd enjoy now.

		<title>Decide to Be a Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, one of the best books on success of all time, wrote about the power of decision.  He describes that the key to success is a burning desire that will cause you to do absolutely whatever it takes to get what you want.  That desire is the key to decision.

The word, decide comes from the Latin, decidere, which literally means â€œto cut off from.â€ When you decide, you cut yourself off from all other possibilities.

There is no limit to what you can do once you truly decide to do it.]]></description>

		<title>Create your Purposeful, Prosperous Vision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If youâ€™ve read Think and Grow Rich, you know how important it is to keep your goals front and centre in your mind.  (If you havenâ€™t, then finish reading this article and go get that book.)

A great way to keep your focus on your goals is to have a physical reminder of them.

Iâ€™m talking of course, about vision boards.  If you havenâ€™t heard of a vision board, it is a canvas, a corkboard or a poster board that is covered in images and items that stimulate your imagination to experience the feeling of having that which you desire.]]></description>

		<title>Squash Your Gremlins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hands-down hardest thing about being an entrepreneur when youâ€™re starting out is keeping the faith.  When there arenâ€™t enough clients and the bills are piling up, it can be really hard to stay focused.

It can be really easy to start listening to the gremlin in your head that says something like this: â€œYouâ€™re crazy to be doing this! Who do you think you are? Youâ€™ll never make a living at this! You should just give up and get a job.â€  Sound familiar?

Everyone has their doubts and fears.  And almost everyone has at least one naysayer in their life who project their own doubts and fears on you.

The key to drowning out that toxic noise is to focus on why youâ€™re doing this.  Focus on your purpose.  You have been given specific gifts and talents in order to serve a specific group of people.  And that group needs you!  They need you to serve them.  You have a duty to bring your gifts to these people to improve their lives.]]></description>

		<title>How to Be an Entrepreneurial Ninja</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Discipline is the difference between creating a successful business and having a hobby.  This doesnâ€™t mean you have to sit in your office from 6am to 10 pm, slaving away.  What it does mean is that you have a set schedule and a routine.]]></description>

		<title>Niche Selection and Branding for Coaches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Forbes.com, the salary of a life coach is six figures for only 10 to 20 percent of coaches.  The median annual income for life coaches in the United Sates is only $30,000 to $40,000 per year, which means that there are a LOT of coaches who are making much less than $30,000.

That is due to the fact that 85% of coaches have no idea how to market themselves in this unique forum.  The areas they typically fail in are:

   1. Niche Selection- They choose a niche that is not profitable or too broad a niche that is impossible to market to.  Remember: If you are marketing to everyone, you are marketing to no one.
   2. Branding- This includes your business name, your tagline, your logo and site design.  Most are named weakly, they have an unclear or weak tagline, the logo is forgettable or ugly or meaningless and the site usually looks cheap, crowded and unfocused.
   3. Packaging- They only provide one or two types of services instead of having several streams of income and the packages are not compelling enough.
   4. Content- Their site and their conversations around what they do focus on coaching, coaching systems, procedures, etc.  Remember: Nobody cares about coaching, how it is done, what systems you use, etc.  They only care about results.
