Alex - absolutely man, everything counts. Those actions are accumulating to send you the work you want. Check out the post I just published. Tolle believes that impatience is resisting what is and that only gets you more of the same. I hope you can jump on my free call on Friday - we’ll be working through the process.

Andrea - that is my experience exactly. I was a speaker and someone came out of the audience and asked me if I’ve ever coached. I stumbled into it because I had taken that first step. It’s called the “corridor theory” - we don’t know what doors will open until we walk down the hall.

Davina - congratulations on nailing a fulfilling vocation. Welcome to coaching. We’ll have to talk sometime soon. Thanks for your kind words regarding my class. I can only hope that the right folks find it now. It’s life-shifting!

What feeds me is learning about myself and helping others to shed some light on the mysteries in their own lives; to realize that THEY have the answers. I value expression and creativity and this is what has led me to life coaching and blogging. That makes us colleagues.

I really enjoyed your perspective on this. Your workshop looks fantastic. I wonder where I’d be now if I had taken this kind of workshop a year and a half ago???

I started with intuitive readings, which was very good, and certainly available. But I also needed a strong teaching element, so I added blogging and live teleclasses. Now I train intuitive professionals, which is even better. I definitely feel that the sweet spot evolved over time.

I love your focus on the next best step - it’s really the only one available to us in the present moment, anyway!

Blessings,
Andrea

I’m not a patient person and building a business takes patience. I’m constantly reminding myself that it’s step by step. I have a bunch of approaches lined up and am slowly unrolling them so that I don’t overwhelm myself with it all, but then I get impatient and cranky.

By the time I’d decided to leave my last business I was beginning to see success of all my various approaches, but by that point I’d realized it wasn’t my passion. Now that I have found my passion, I’m more willing to put in the work, but my patience is sometimes short.

Can’t wait to start my own revolution.

Susan - wow you’re views are very similar to mine. I truly can’t see another explanation. It’s interesting to me that some folks fight this vocational alignment concept but can’t offer and alternative that makes any sense.

Alex - I understand your frustration, when I first began coaching I had much the same experience. You really are raising a marketing challenge that comes into play after we identify our sweet spot. Like Karl and I said, it’s our responsibility to package and present our sweet spot in a way that others will want to buy it. Respectfully, I think it might serve you well to begin thinking of the market as huge and to decide that there is a way to enroll them - you just haven’t found it yet. That way, in your mind, it will be a matter of how do I reach this market in a way they want to buy. It will expand your possibilities. Would you like some suggestions on how to come up with alternative approaches?

Lance - way to go man!. Get into action and you’ll see openings that you can’t see now. Your sweet spot is already becoming more visible to you. just by the power of your intention.

Laurie - it is very cool when we hit our sweet spot. After that it’s simply a matter of strengthening the business by testing and making adjustments. Soon you’ll be hitting it out of the park.

Marelisa - I agree and I’ve found that it’s absolutely necessary to embrace the other side of the spectrum as well. We have to respect the part that does not naturally fire us up. Like the Quakers are fond of saying, “pray and move your feet.”

Harmony - thank you for answering the question! You raise two excellent components that create value for any service provider. 1). Offer a fresh perspective and 2). belief in the client’s ability to succeed. That’s a winning ticket!

Stacey - you’re right about the out of balance market being huge. Your challenge, which is similar to my own, is how to get them to see that they are spinning and to believe that they can stop. Once they want to change the sales conversation is of course much easier. What works well for you in that regard?
