Marketing – The Never Ending Story
I usually don’t write about my childhood stories, but this morning I was inspired by a dear friend who saw a picture of me at 10 years old. How far back does that go! My father was an entrepreneur, although I don’t know if he knew what the word meant. A self taught man, there [...]
Solitude, Part 2: The Benefits It Brings, and the Special Strengths of the People Who Enjoy It
Here’s what makes solitude so sweet Unlike the readers of my last post, who were so articulate and insightful about the sweetness of solitude, many professional researchers have had a much harder time recognizing that solitude can actually be beneficial. Maybe part of the reason is that psychologists – especially social psychologists – are so [...]
Sweet Solitude, Part 1: Two Meanings of Alone
Published on March 20, 2011 by Bella DePaulo, Ph.D. in Living Single “You poor thing – you’re ‘alone’ – you ‘don’t have anyone.” I’ve been railing against this use of the word alone to describe single people for a long, long time (here and here, for example). To say that single people are alone, in [...]
Working with the Media
Whenever you are lucky enough to work with the media, remember the Boy Scout Motto, “Be Prepared.” Do your homework in advance, research your topic, ( of course if it’s yours you should know it inside and out.) One trick I learned is to prepare a set of questions and quiz myself on them [...]
Anatomy of a Sale
Let’s call the client Sandy. She was first referred to me by an instructor in the professional training program she was taking. (Hint #1: Develop referral partnerships with people who serve your clients.) Sandy called me in March to inquire about becoming a coaching client. (Hint #2: Referred clients are more ready to buy.) I [...]

Do we have more or fewer friends today?
We may "friend" more people on Facebook, but we have fewer real friends -- the kind who would help us out in tough times, listen sympathetically no matter what, lend us money or give us a place to stay if we needed it, keep a secret if we shared one.
That's the conclusion made by Matthew…

My Gift To You
As those of you know who have been around this site for awhile, my heart
is really to help therapist be as successful as you can be, in
whichever way YOU define success. I loved being in private practice full
time and cherished those moments (we've all had them) where your
clients's eyes open a bit wider and a smile starts to form at the
corner's of their lips and you both know, that after all this
time...they are getting it! The A HA moment when it all comes… Continue

We are Already Where We Should Be
As human beings we are always tryting to get somewhere. Many of us seek some standard of success that we think will bring happiness of validation from the world. Even those of us involved in the personal growth and consciousness process still have the idea that we certainly don't want to be where we are--we're trying to be somewhere better. And when we get to that place,everything will be right somehow. Yet, consciousness cannot be found somewhere else; it happens through becoming aware of…

Trust Your Higher Power
There is some higher intelligence at work in us. It know what its doing and is trying moment by moment to guide us, tech us, show us and love us. It is trying to help us become all that we can be. In order to do that, it has to guide us through our own healing process. At times this may become uncomfortable. But eventually we are able to see the necessity and perfection of each step we have taken on our journey.

The life force has an incredible perfection about it.. As we're learning to recognize and follow the life force we will see the… Continue
