From
the heart
I love this time of year. Although it can be one of the busiest times
of the year for our businesses, it is also a special time.
I love to reflect on what this year has brought me and look ahead to
the prospects of the New Year.
I especially love to reflect on all the amazing people that have come
into my life.
And, of course, I love the togetherness of
Christmas.
You all inspire me. I appreciate you.
To close this year out, I have 2 gifts for you. I am hosting two calls
in December.
December 12th at 6:00pm EST, I will be interviewing Kristine Catalina,
author of Man-Woman Relationships made easy. Kristine will share her
insights on what women can do to enhance their relationships and gain
the support they desire.
December 20th at 9:00pm EST, I will be speaking on a topic near and
dear to many women's hearts: Living a balanced life. You won't want to
miss this call.
More details coming soon ...

Sharing a Vision of Success
The name of my coaching business is Successful Together Coaching and my
mantra is "Put the 'us'
in business".
Having been inspired by my wife and many amazing women in home
businesses, I am deeply aware of the capacity for amazing success that
we have.
All too often, my coaching clients share that they have a vivid
powerful vision of the success they are moving towards and their other
half doesn't get share it.
It is a given that you must own your power and are solely responsible
for your own success. If you delegate that to anyone, you are setting
the stage for failure.
It can be frustrating to see the magnificent future unfolding before
you, and your partner doesn't
even want to hear about it.
As no two pe?ple are identical, it is a certainty that 'success' means
different things to each of you. Creating a shared vision of success
obviously requires that you communicate and share your intentions,
desires and dreams with each other,
and combine them together to create the vision of the fulfilling life
that you both would enjoy.
A scenario I share with my coaching clients is that our lives are like
a paint-by- numbers. you hold
some of the colors, you partner holds some, and there are some that you
hold together.
If you paint alone, the picture will appear to incomplete as
it will only have your portion. If you other half is willing to play,
they will take care of
their piece and you will complete the picture together.
Unfortunately, too many women find that they are alone in their vision
of success. Their partner is
either not interested or doesn't want to share
what they want their life to be like in the future.
And, that is okay. You didn't see things the way you do until you made
the shift. You may have to hold
the vision by yourself for a while, until he opens up and wants to
play.
In my experience, many men don't like change.
They would happily live their lives exactly the way they are for the
foreseeable future.
Your life is not bad, you just have seen the amazing possibilities that
are there for you and you are growing by leaps and bounds, fully
stepping into
your power and your greatness. Naturally, you
want to share that with the most important person
in your life.
Bear in mind that a powerful woman can be intimidating to a man. Seeing
his lady change before his eyes into a more amazing being who is
speaking
a different language can be quite unsettling for a
guy who likes the status quo.
It is essential that you grow in your power and
move toward your vision of success. Ensure that
you hold a vision of success for you both together and keep the door
open. Always speak in terms of we, us and ours.
It is just a matter of time before he joins you.
Be successful - together.
