A
Note From the Coach
Summer is here, my son is with me for 6 weeks and my wife & I both work from home. Does it get any better than this?
If you have been on my list for a while then you know my perspective: This is about your life. Business, jobs, relationships, etc. are the components that comprise your life.
Maintain your focus on the life you want to be living and you will see the shifts you can make to live the best life possible.

Being Us Again
Your journey in the world of the entrepreneur is amazing. You are
learning fascinating new concepts & philosophies, you continually
meet inspiring & empowering people and you are producing an
increasing income doing what love.
And, you feel like you are on your own. The more you move forward in
your business, the further apart you and your significant other seem to
become.
What’s wrong with this picture? Here you are with an incredible
opportunity that is creating an incredible future for your family and
it feels like your business is a growing problem.
Too many women actually give up on their dreams and goals simply to
eliminate this ‘problem’ and restore the
‘peace’ at home.
The truth is that it cannot possibly be the same again. Once you have had a taste of success, you can never go back to being who you were.
Even if your other half embarked on the success journey with you, it is
possible to find yourself in different places philosophically,
spiritually and mentally if you do not evolve at the same pace in the
same way.
As you are both unique beings, you can take is a given that there is no
possible way that you can both evolve and in an identical fashion.
Many men do not relate well to the changes they see in their partner.
In many cases, they actually reject it and cling steadfastly to the
past.
When a couple has been together for several years, there is some
settling, even complacency that occurs. When you step into the amazing
new world and expand rapidly into your greatness and your power, it can
be intimidating for your partner as they are seeing you change before
their eyes into a person they don’t know. And, more importantly,
that they cannot relate to.
It can quickly become a vicious cycle where you can’t get enough of the new world and he recedes more into the old one.
So, you find yourself in the position of having a major gap with your
other half. There isn’t much communication any more as you
don’t have anything in common to talk about. Time spent together
is spent in awkward silence or is so tense, you could cut it with a
knife.
You want to have that close, intimate, passionate, connected
relationship with your significant other. After all, they are the
most important person in your life.
So, how do you shift and get back into an ‘us’ space that is fulfilling for you both?
Know this: You cannot go back
to where you were. It is not about giving anything up, it’s about
moving forwards to find that space that is ‘us’ again.
First step is to come from a space of what is right and what is working in your life and relationship. Focusing on what is wrong will not serve you and will only lead to more tension.
Next, know that this is more about you respective feelings than
anything else. And, your feelings are not wrong. Neither are his.
If you have allowed you relationship to get to its current state over a
period of time, it is crucial to know that you won’t change it
overnight.
Avoid coming from a place of blame or finger-pointing. That does not
serve your relationship in any way. If something has happened
previously that upsets you, forgive and wipe the slate clean. Practice
this everyday if necessary.
If you find yourself at a stand-off, don’t be shy about making
the first move to connect and communicate. It is all too easy to allow
your precious time – time that could be worthwhile – to be
wasted while waiting for the other person to make the first move.
Know that there is only so much that you are responsible for. And, that
basically is who you are being and how you are showing up in your
relationship. You simply must be your true authentic self.
If you are not showing up as you, you’re being someone or
something else. How will that help shift your relationship into the
space you want it to be in.
You must spend some time simply being ‘us’. Doing things
you both enjoy, talking in a manner that is comfortable and empowering
for both of you. If you feel like you both have forgotten how to do
that, start small.
Don’t ever pass on an opportunity to acknowledge or appreciate
your significant other. This is huge. It is imperative that you be
sincere and not overdo it, or that will have the opposite effect.
And, finally, you must remember
that men & women do not speak the same language, nor respond to
things the same way. Taking some time to understand the differences
between the genders will go a long way in shifting your communication
into an effective space.
If you feel like you are applying these concepts and are not moving
forward, then it would be viable to look into the assistance of an
impartial 3rd party – ie: a Coach or a counselor. If your other
half is not willing to join you in that venture – that is okay.
Take the first step by yourself. You are taking empowered action toward that which you desire and you will gain something from the experience.

The Coaching Experience
Have you had the experience of connecting one-on-one with a certified Coach?
The top achievers in sports, business and life all have one thing in common – they all have a coach.
There is only one way to find out whether a coach’s personality, style and programs are a fit for you – a no-obligation consultation.
The consultation is a 30-minute session where you will experience the
coaching process. Regardless of whether you wish to proceed with one of
the coaching programs, your time spent will be valuable and you will
take away something you can utilize in your business, relationship or
life.
It is not a sales pitch. If there is a connection and a strong feeling
that the coaching relationship would be beneficial, then the coaching
programs will be offered. Again, with no obligation or expectations.
It truly is all about you.
If you desire more energy & balance in your life, more support from
your other half, increased energy & fulfillment, increased business
success or a totally new direction in life, then the coaching
experience is for you.
Coaching is performed via the telephone on the schedule that fits your
life. A variety of formats are available to suit your budget and your
intentions.
If your life, business or relationship is not quite where you want it
to be, and you are ready to move it forward, contact me today to
schedule your coaching consultation. Click here for more details.
