I had been thinking about the age old question of 'getting more clients/money' and batting my head up against a brick wall. I hadn't realised that I felt so bad about it...d'oh! And when I turned it to the opposite, I realised, I want to be serving people, helping people live passionately joyful and playful lives...not chasing down their wallets or pursuing them like they're a notch on the bedpost!!! Thanks for reminding me that clients aren't just a number. Love Donna.x Andrea

I can't imagine how often I have coached with a very similar approach to help women unleash an entirely "new" self. I just never made the George connection. But I have to add, "thanks a lot!" Now I'll see certain clients in my mind's eye in a whole new way: bald, whiney and wearing glasses! :) Thanks for the chuckle... Beautiful Andrea.

What about the huge turnaround of going from, "I am the doer, the one who is in control of my life and the one who does it all to navigate a challenging universe to get what I want and make it all happen" to the extreme radical turnaround viewpoint of, "I am the one that is done as an aspect of the amazingly friendly and benevolent universe, and I simply follow the simple direction given by the inner 'yes' and the inner 'no' and the outcome is none of my business." WOW!!! is that different or what? The striving for more goes out the door. Deep inner peace runs the show Oh my!! Check out The Work at thework.com or check me out at peacemoves.com . After all, isn't it the deep inner peace of genuine joy in service that we are all stiving for? Hi Andrea,

I did the exact thing that George did and now coach women on doing the same! Stepping out of their comfort zone...brief to thong style! I wanted to step out and do something different as a coach, something fun that all women could relate to so I created From Brief to Thong-How to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone, Remove the Panty Lines of Life that are Holding you Back, and Thrive Thong Style!!! Check it out at www.frombrieftothong.com . I love just talking about it! So, I too believe we just need to step out and do something different. Throw out your granny panties (tummy control and all) and step into the life that is waiting and in a thong of course! Just wanted to add that Tina was my coach a few years ago and so I credit my first experience of stepping out to her. Thanks Tina! HI Andrea,

When stuck, open your front door with your non-dominant hand. Take a different route home or running errands. Hold your drink with your opposite hand. Switch your watch to the opposite wrist. Simple but effective ways to slip loose from a rut, a gift to me from a mentor. When a sales coaching client is stuck, I ask: What one action can you take at this moment to move forward or create a different perspective? Clients usually report feeling more calm, more in control and less overwhelmed from being able to choose one clear, simple action.
