Starting Over

Published by Tom Volkar under Getting Unstuck | Email This Post Email This Post | 3,090 views

goldpan11I get occasional emails from desperate readers who think they have totally screwed up their lives. They think they can’t afford to hire me as their coach but they reach out hoping for help.

I’ll often ask them to do something simple, like read a blog post and email me back what came up for them after reading it. Or I’ll send them a couple of questions by email.

Screw-ups, Fresh Starts & Comebacks

Published by Tom Volkar under Getting Unstuck | Email This Post Email This Post | 1,129 views

Have you ever screwed up and not followed through on a self-pledge? We all have, many times, and we are likely to continue, right? If that’s so, consider this.
